Genetic Engineering Threatens New Zealand Again

Sadly, a GE Free NZ is at risk once again! The Coalition Government is proposing to allow genetic manipulation once more after years of being quite happy to have a "GE Free NZ" and promote it with advertisements of a "Clean Green New Zealand" which helps sell our agricultural products abroad. This action is probably going to re-activate widespread opposition from people (like me) who do not want to be part of a scientific experiment. I expect we are in for a politically turbulent time ahead. Here are some old revamped cartoons of mine Click on the cartoons to enlarge them. Opinions welcomed

A Plate Of Mine Brings Back Memories

I was looking around the Hospice Op Shop in Whangarei last Monday when this plate caught my eye. I recognized it immediately as one of mine. I turned it over and there on the back was my name, "D Wolland '95" scratched on the back. It was made when someone close to me died and I composed a song about him but never finished it. Some of the words are on the plate and so with mixed emotions I bought it. I had forgotten about making it and the song I wrote. I think I will record the entire song now as the melody and words have jumped out of the plate and called up the memories from the depths of my mind.

My Take On Bob Dylan

Now that there is the film on Bob Dylan in local cinemas I thought you might like to see and hear again the animation I made with a song I composed,sang and recorded. I Played a rather unusual Mandola that was made from a 12 string guitar. Watch carefully Bob's shifty eyes!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJmna8Dzauw

My Novel "2060" - A Cover Page Idea

You might be thinking "what is this book all about?". Well, I would rather you read it than have me tell you. The cover is intended to provide some clues but parts of it probably won't make sense until Mike Stevens finishes telling his story. If you can guess what my book is about by the cover, I will give you a signed copy when it gets printed. Clue: it is set in New Zealand.
