This image was inspired by a World War One propaganda image of the “New Zealand War Dog”. The image showed a British Bulldog standing on a New Zealand flag though across the Jack. The dog wore three Huia feathers, Tiki and moko shown here. I have updated the concept as tribute to those men who fought for New Zealand in Europe in those years and in fact all NZ military personnel. This image also though reminds us that the use of the facial moko to designate a New Zealand origin is not a new thing but part of our character and art stylings for many years.
