Lonely Dog Book Launch - dates for your calendars.

We will be launching the new novel - Alveridgea and the Legend of Lonely Dog - in both the Queenstown and Auckland galleries. Invites will be on their way shortly, but make sure you mark the dates in your diary.

Queenstown 6:00 - 7:30pm, Thursday July 26th.

Auckland 6:00 - 8pm, Friday July 27th.

The book is wonderful. It has exceeded our expectations, and we are thrilled with it. Ivan will be present at both launches, and we have prevailed on Stu Duval who did most of the word crafting to be at the Auckland event, and to provide a reading. More details later...

Great Opening Night - Auckland Lonely Dog Gallery

 Here are just a few snaps (when did anyone last use that name for photos!) of the Gallery opening. We were lucky enough to have Ivan and Kerry with us, and more particularly, some of Ivan's stunning original landscapes. Needless to say one sold on the night. They are almost too good to be true.

The gallery looked great. The new format worked perfectly, and the idea of using the front as a gallery within a gallery really came to life. Thanks to all those brave souls who came out in such numbers on a cold night.

Next up will be the book launch end of July. What a rapid few weeks it has been! Organising shipping of our stock from the UK where it was printed. The delight of getting the first "authors copies" in our hands and being able to show them off around the place.

Also working with the local publishers Allen & Unwin to make sure it gets a great viewing in bookstores around the country, and also gets great media.

More news around the corner!
