Guess who dropped into shop to say G'day "Zac Guildford" not only New Zealands newest All Black winger "picked for the northern end of year tour" but is also the newest addition to the Canterbury crusaders here at Otautahi we would personally like to welcome Zac to one of the more humbling provinces. Guildford was selected after an epic 2009 NPC season pushing out 13 punishing trys for Hawkes bay Magpies, and showing plenty of skill in his 6 games for Wellington Hurricanes in 2008, and starting in 80% of his games for Hurricanes in his 2009 season all this after nursing a broken arm pre season, its obvious this guy has some serious talent and were proud to have him down here. Moving right along its been a very busy and productive summer with 6 artists and 2 apprentices working full time putting out some amazing pieces out the door, due to the incredible demand of Ta Moko a new station has been set up for our newest artist "Rawhiri Koia" an ex master carver and has taken his place as a Ta Moko artist, we welcome Rawhiri you can check his profile out under tattoo artists. until next time this is me signing off
