This is absolutely incredible indeed!

Can anyone tell me what the music at the end is ("let the sun shine down, chase the clouds away")? In an interview I read, Valerie Reid said it was fully original local music. But who is the artist? Is the music available somewhere? Sounded great! John Martyn-like, but with a great vibe to it...

Original song by Tahi Richards,  title- Sunshine Down. Tahi has not sold this through record stores, so its hard to get.

@boogiebuddy01 Don't need money when you have acid!

@nzdoc I live in New Brighton - The local council should pay Peter for his work, look at how many people he attracts to the peir! If not the council, the surrounding businesses should pay him something at least for attracting so many customers.

I thought before viewing your comment that this would be the case, it's really sad to hear that it isn't. Mind you, Bob Parker will be Bob Parker.

The idea is so simple, but it looks so breathtaking. I think this man is a genius.

He should write on every Art Job " Everything Fades "

[psyclepath1964]

I'm a transplanted Yank from San Diego CA and I'm fortunate enough to be able to watch Peter several times per week. He's an amazing artist and a very nice guy. His bike's cool too. I'm a Harley-Davidson mechanic, so that's saying a lot! Cheers to Peter!!!

Its not easy for Peter to make any money , and a shame the New Zealand art world and local council dont realise Peter Donnelly is an absolute genius, VR
