Samuel Parnell | NZ History Labour Day, a public holiday in New Zealand since 1900, is a suitable occasion to pay tribute to Samuel Parnell, who achieved fame as the founder of the eight-hour working day in New Zealand.

This Labour Day, Aotearoa, try to live up to the dignified and respectable example of those worthy workers who first banded together in 1840 and politely requested to work only an 8-hour day.

Then threw anyone who crossed the line into the harbour

At the risk of sounding a tad conspiratorial, I have to ask why Chris Bishop headlines as a β€œtop dog” at this place & could it maybe, sort of, kind of, have something to do with the NZ govt unilaterally siding with genocidal war criminals over humanity? Maybe it’s just me? πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€ #nzpol #NoConfidence

A painting of a fairy waving to a green caterpillar. Both characters stand on the pollen centres of two orange daisy-like flowers. The fairy (Eleyin) wears a purple dress and matching boots, while the caterpillar (James) wears his straw gardening hat. The background is watercolour, and suggests a meadow of the flowers beneath a blue sky with a few white clouds.

My new piece, Eleyin and James. Colours are a bit off because this was taken under the yellow kitchen light at night, but you get the idea :) Perspectives are also slightly off but let’s just pretend it’s magic at work haha #art #fantasyart #illustration #painting
