Swiftmantis

There couldn't be a locale in New Zealand more unassuming that the cul de sac named Eton Place, Terrace End, Palmerston North.

It is here, on the exterior of a modest cottage that up and coming street artist Swiftmantis painted his first praying mantis, and some related foliage and feathered friends, on a very grand scale. Since then, the Swiftmantis star has risen, along with larger murals in Palmerston North, Taupo Rotorua and further afield. A colab with Burger Fuel has been well received.

An artist (also a video artist and tattoo artist) to watch.
NZPlaces needs photos of Swiftmantis art, please feel free to send yours in.
