The Creative, Sweet Retreat

Posted by Creative, Sweet

Earlier this year I had the task to complete 100% of the NZ BurgerFuel restaurants with customised BurgerFuel Creative, Sweet murals. With 17 stores on my to do list I originally planned to do them all over a few months, maybe 1 or 2 a week, but ultimately this conflicted with so many things as I can’t start painting the stores till midnight and then I still needed to be at work at 8am the next day. So I decided to take the better option which was take 3 weeks off work and complete all 17 stores from Auckland to Wellington in one go, "The Creatve, Sweet Retreat". It all started off so well, but I’d say a week in, the body wasn’t functioning as well as I’d hope, I was tired and restless and low on motivation. But I was so determined to reach my goal of 100% that I finished all stores to meet my target. I guess the spanner in the works was deciding to document this entire process, I was my own camera man and editor, when I was driving from town to town I would stop and film random things, as well as film all of the stores I painted. As soon as I got to the next town I would get something to eat then head to my Airbnb to start editing until around 11pm when I would head in to start painting my next mural. I’d generally be done between 3-5am, head home to sleep then be up at 8am for breakfeast, check out and off to the next town.
