Lockdown Artist

 Hey bloggers 

Do you know Henry Sunderland?

He is a artist in Christchurch in New Zealand

So we had to do work about him and 10 facts and about him and 5 pictures about what we does

So here it is

  1. He makes comics in lockdown

  2. He worked at hornby high 

  3. The Christchurch creative’s latest project, drawing a sketch every day of the coronavirus lockdown, 

  4. The drawings all depict an island scene, with each day highlighting a different activity, such as teepeeing a palm tree, raking sand, or family games. Others touch on feelings of loneliness, boredom and isolation.

  5. Sunderland, 70, published his first entry on his Facebook page on March 26, the day after New Zealand moved to Alert Level 4, and his last on May 13, the day regulations dropped to level 2.

  6. He sent a copy for the final product to Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who features in the book.

  7. Henry is a creative thinker and artist with a predilection for the ironic and kitsch, whose projects and ideas have helped inspire thousands of young and old since 1976, engaging the community, bringing the child out of the adult and art to the streets.8.

  8. With a ready wit, acerbic social conscience and developed communication skills, Henry is adept in using fun to make a serious point.9.

  9. He has been highly successful in influencing community and world leaders, engaging national and international media as a means to encourage thoughts for the community, and awareness of much-needed environmental concerns.

  10. Since leaving school a number of years ago, Henry has been involved in a number of creative industries and life experiences.
