Resene is proud to be supporting the 17th annual NZ Art Show - this year with a twist! More than 150 emerging contemporary artists are set to inspire any art collector in this dynamic virtual exhibition.

This new initiative is the brainchild of the show as it embraces the opportunity to continue to support some of NZ’s hottest new artists on the art scene despite the limitations of Covid-19 lockdown.

All artists have been selected by a panel of experts, promising quality and talent deserved of any collection. Art lovers can be assured that they can purchase with confidence, liaising directly with the artists.

Visitors can explore new artworks by some of the show’s favourite and most successful artists including Jane Blackmore, Runa + Holly, Tanya Blong, Joel Hart and Nikki Corbishley while discovering the hottest and newest artists on the NZ Arts scene. Glass works by the talented Richard Landers (a crowd favourite at last year’s show) also feature, alongside contemporary photographic works, exquisite and traditional watercolours, gorgeous florals, and artworks that provoke thought and conversation.

Go to artshow.co.nz where you can browse and purchase hundreds of original artworks all from the comfort of your own home from May 1st. Show your support and help keep the arts alive and active in NZ!

Self promotion

Mayur from Howick

Hey everyone,

Hey everyone,

You might have read my posts earlier asking questions, buying/selling stuff etc etc. Today it will be different. I will try to shamelessly sell myself.

I am a professional web developer with 17 years of experience and starting out with self employment with my fried Paula Wilson who is from Waikato and a well established writer and writes for blogs, websites etc., in short all types of web content. I currently work full time for Serato, the only homegrown kiwi company with a global presence in music industry. I founded Rushlane.com, a successful startup in the automotive industry.

I can develop any type of web based systems i.e. brochure website, e-commerce solution, systems to automate your business processes like lead management, automated emails, invoice processing etc (very effective for tradies and service based businesses). I mean think web or mobile apps and I am pretty confident that I will be able to do it. I have good knowledge of online and social media marketing and happy to provide maintenance services too.

You will talk to a real person who is based here locally and will be doing all your work, not with a contractor who hires offshore staff to cut costs. I will provide fixed quote for a fixed scope of work. No job too big or too small.

I can provide references from kiwi companies, one of which is a leader in their domain and you might have already heard of them. I manage their business systems and online marketing.

Please feel free to connect or refer us to your friends. Our website butsnbytes.co.nz is still under development but you can always text or call me on 02108065533.

Thanks for reading my long shameless self promotion post.

If like me you find you have 1000's of photos that have been stored in a shoe box for years. Then we can help you scan and digitize those photos so you have them for many years to come.
We can scan 100s or 1000s of photos on to USB or DVD so you have a digital version that you can share on Facebook or print out later. We scan at a high resolution 600dpi that will enable you to print out up to A4 size from a standard 6"x4" size photo. We can also scan the back of the photo so that you keep a record of dates, names and places that may be written on the back. We can bulk scan any size photo upto A4 size and you will be amazed how easy it is to do.
With prices from as little as 40c each. You can send us your photos by Courier or arrange an appointment for non-contact drop off.
