The 1940 Ford Custom Pick-up Truck 

Hellbound Train

Customized, sculpted, expertly refinished, and custom-painted with a flawless flow coat in 2005 (New Zealand). This project would not have been possible without the unwavering support and inspiration of an incredible woman—my mum. Rest in peace.

Depression Awareness Bike

Paint generously donated to Heavy Duty – Doc Robinson.

Rivet removal, panel repairs, shaping, and refinishing by Clayton Curnow.
Custom paint and final flow coat by me.

As a creative, I've often found myself teetering on the edge — one project away from being pulled back into that overwhelming, soul-dulling vortex of depression. A place where I lose myself… where my worth becomes tied to output, perfection, or the need to be needed.

But this project reminded me: creation can be healing. And sometimes, it's in the grit, sweat, and colour that I reclaim a little of myself.
