Dick Frizzell on growing up in Hastings, learning the rules of art, breaking them, and becoming a 'bad artist'

from Kiwi Yarns · host rova | Brodie Kane Media

Artist, illustrator, and designer Dick Frizzell is one of New Zealand’s most recognisable artists, with a ginormous back catalogue (I don’t know if you call it that in the art world) of famous works spanning pop art, stunning landscapes, commercial illustrations, and even school journals. We explore all things art, from Dick's journey to finding his place in New Zealand’s art scene to his soon-to-be-released book, Hastings: A Boy’s Own Adventure - a memoir he describes as a nostalgic love letter to his hometown of Hastings in the 1950s and ’60s.
