Nudity on the Hutt Motorway - and other places

The Pink Floyd Experience Back Catalogue Tour

OK, perhaps calling it a ‘motorway’ is a bit of a misnomer seeing as it’s got traffic light-controlled intersections and you can ride a bicycle on it... but I must admit to some involvement with the recent appearance of six ‘nude’ males (OK, they were wearing body paint), on the side of State Highway 2 (Lower Hutt) – and various other places around the country (including Auckland – nice to give those JAFAs something to look at as they sit in their traffic jams).

Some years ago, British Progressive Rock group Pink Floyd printed a poster to promote their back catalogue. The poster featured six naked female models, each body-painted with a different Floyd album design. When Daz, lead guitarist with New Zealand’s Pink Floyd Experience, asked me if I could do something similar featuring the band, I accepted the challenge. After all, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

P.S. Went to the Wellington concert last Saturday night and it was just amazing! These guys are really talented musicians with a real passion for the music of Pink Floyd. And the light show is incredible too! Floyd fans take note – if you get a chance you should see these guys!
