Visiting the Lost Gyspy Gallery on Christmas Eve was the highlight of my stay in the Catlins. It's magical. And Blair is a really nice man!

Love Blair's work - think he's got to be related to me - aren't too many Somervilles around - hope so anyway! Love to buy some of his art, but may have to make a big trek south from Rotorua.

Hi Blair, I would love to see what you have and what is available for sale or commission as a gift for my wonderful son who is coming home for X'mas for the first time in 11 years, he would love one of your Gizmos!!
