About
Lucky Friday is my artist name. I'm a graphic designer who originates from Wellington. I’ve worked across the globe for some of the largest advertising agencies on the planet as a creative director and now exploring my artistic talents. I play in the world of limited edition fine art prints, abstract landscapes, oil portraits with palette knives to large outdoor murals. I’m inspired by Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Picasso, David Hockney & William Kentridge. In my graphic design career graffiti art, Bauhaus School of design and deconstruction influenced my career and fortunate to have won numerous international design awards for my graphic design and global advertising campaigns. You maybe asking why the name “Lucky Friday”? That’s a good question. It’s more to do with the amazing people I have connected with in Africa. Their names are so simple like “Precious, Lucky, Innocent, Beauty etc.” I chose Lucky Friday to represent my adopted Africanism. I hope you enjoy the art you see and open for commissions.

I paint my designs that have been created after working with the clients

Pick me for these projects! :-

Give me a good brief and we can work wonders together. I love my mural work and bringing my art to to the people. When you commission my work, I work on the computer first and create a design for you to approve.

I'll sit these ones out :-

I can't say I have ever had a job I don't love. I only accept briefs where I know I can work with the people and their brief very clear and concise.
