Who is S.M.I. ?

Kia Ora and welcome to the World Wide Web's public manifestation of  Wellington, New Zealand  artist Yen Comer-Hudson .

Aah but yes Dear readers .... Who is the Man behind the Monkey ?

It all started in a sleepy little town called Sydney, Australia. His parents soon realized that Oz in the late 60's was no place to bring up a family so they hoofed it back to good ol' New Zealand  beginning a 15 year trek from one end of the country to another.

9 primary schools,1 intermediate and 2 high schools later he cut the cord and moved out on his own.

Wellington was the place to be and a 12 1/2 year career in Hairdressing followed. Competitions,photo shots,fashion shows and many a client later that all came to a screeching halt. Two beautiful children and a job jerking coffee at some of Wellington's finest movie palaces brings us almost up to date.

Would our hero follow his first real love ( no,not Star Wars ) and finally make it to Art school ? Yes !! The Learning Connexion in Island Bay (now situated in sunny Taita) was the field of dreams he'd been looking for. A diploma in Art and Creativity will do quite nicely thank you.

So now were all up to speed ? Good. Must be time for the next chapter to begin.

This is the place where my sponsors and benefactors will be listed ... WHEN I GET SOME !!
