Annais M Allen left a comment for miles baker"hahaha you're right about the rugby! And the one street has grown into a nightmare, it took me over 30 minutes to get from one end of Queen street to the other end (K'Rd)!
I try to avoid having to go into the city as much as possible.…"

- Brief Bio
- I live amongst a small stand of trees, beside the sea near Auckland, NZ.
I work with children, creating ways to learn emergent Maori language, and about Maori culture while enabling each person to tell their individual, family, tribal and traditional stories in their own unique way.
I favour weaving harakeke (NZ flax), painting, collaging, silversmithing and writing when telling my own stories.

Poem: ngawini raua ko maihi: to make sense of the world...
if i could count
the times you both spent
teaching me to read
between the lines
of human nature
sifting amongst word image relics
from which to make
sense of the world
to live with integrity
there would not be
enough stars in this galaxy
for each moment in time with you

nga taonga aroha - gifts of love
from amongst the headstones
in the cemetery on the hill
overlooking whakataha the sacred mountain
and waitangi the sacred river
the crescendo of the piri wiri tua brass band
rendition of paloma blanca reached its final note
as i walked away from the body of my tupuna
laying in the grave
bags packed and children asleep
in the back of the isuzu
slowly driving along the pot-holed
dusty unsealed road
away from tauwhara… Continue

Thomas L. Vaultonburg posted a blog postNew Rhinoceros Children's Book
I've been having a great year and creating lots of new things with Jenny. Over Christmas I was missing my guy Jack, so I wrote a book for him, then Jenny illustrated it. It's called The Toughskin Rhinoceros Wrangler Company. It's a simple story about the lengths we are willing to go to to see the people we miss. And there are dancing rhinoceroses. Here's some of Jenny's art…See More

During my earliest year in Elementary School, the only hobby that steals my time is sketching on my notebook. While my teacher is discussing and writing on the board, I am in my chair at the back busy in sketching.In that time I believed that learning could not be taken only from school, and knowledge is not only about speaking and writing but also drawing.My mother exasperated every time she checks my notebook because what she found was not my homework but those faces of my favorite anime like…See More
