Working with Robert Jahnke Nga Hau neon, development from concept to completion.

Starting with a sketch, creating working prototypes and assembling the finished neon artwork. Always a pleasure collaborating with such a great sculptural artist and educator.

The coolest Lil old lion red sign I've ever seen

Had a young fella come in with this super old original lion red sign, even the logo was screen printed. The sign had a story to tell and was for something special. I wanted to buy it off him, but this changed my mind.

He got it off his grandad and wanted it fixed to give to his brother for his 30th birthday. It needed a new unit, but also needed a tr**ny, full refurbishment, pieces glued back together, and a super good clean.

He was super happy with the result, even got us a box of red. One of the coolest original bar signs I’ve ever seen.

In 2020, NZ reported over 51,000 cyber incidents, a 65% increase from the previous year.

Shockingly, "password" remained the most common password with over 11% of New Zealanders using "123456" as their password.

In addition, approximately 60% of cyber incidents in NZ were caused by weak or compromised passwords.

➡️ Opt for passwords that are a minimum of 12 characters long. Include a mix of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and special characters.
➡️ Consider using passphrases composed of a sentence from your favourite song.
➡️ Avoid the temptation to use the same password for multiple accounts.
➡️ Managing multiple passwords can be challenging, but password managers can be a valuable tool in this regard. Password management tools like LastPass, Dashlane, or KeePass can generate strong passwords and securely store them for easy access.
➡️ Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) whenever possible.
➡️ Additionally, if there are indications of a data breach or a compromised account, update your passwords immediately.

We produce a lot of neon. Most of our output is signage, but we also produce artwork and in this case movie props.

Netflix’s live action adaptation of the ground-breaking anime Cowboy Bebop was shot in here in Auckland. Showrunners André Nemec and Jeff Pinkner of Midnight Radio based production of the series working with local Executive Producer Tim Coddington, Line Producer Simon Ambridge and a majority New Zealand crew including Production Designers Grant Major and Gary Mackay, and Costume Designer Jane Holland.

Nemec took an early scouting trip to Auckland, New Zealand in 2019, and the shooting location “just felt right.” The location would prove extremely beneficial when filming continued during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

"Before this show, I’d never shot in New Zealand before. The level of artistry and craftsmanship among the people who work in the industry here is outstanding." - André Nemec

Production started with original screen shots from the anime and Capitol was tasked with recreating animated signs in real life. Most of the style of Cowboy Bebop draws heavily from science fiction, western, and noir films.

Filming for the series took place in 185 locations around Auckland, New Zealand between July 2019 and March 2021.

And you can watch it now on Netflix, the adventures of a ragtag group of bounty hunters chasing down criminals across the Solar System on the Bebop spaceship.
