Some working shots over the past couple weeks. Great teamwork and dedication from our crew, makes kaupapa like this so exciting to be apart of and adds to the layers of purakau attached to this tupuna Kupe. We still have a ways to go before competition but I think it’s important to see the process.

A brother from another mother! Awesome catchups with the bro Sonny Arahanga. We don’t get to see one another to often but it’s always the same when we do, just like yesterday. Hakahirinaki te tukanga! Trust the process.

Had the privilege of working with Matt over the last couple days. Some good korero, few laughs, beautiful Kai and of course mahi moko.

Sammy you’ve been a massive inspiration for young and old around the world with Jurassic Park, including my own son who at the tender age of six made me pull some strings to get him apart in your movie Jurassic world fallen Kingdom. You’re gone but never forgotten brother. Thank you Sammy you are the man! SamNeillTheProp Tumanako
