Taika Waititi Instagram – The Year of Living Taikarously continues as @claus_stangl_art crushes life by winning the Archibald Packing Room Prize in Australia for his portrait of Hollywood good-boy, Taika Waititi. This is an absolute kick in the baramundies for Ockers as they try to figure out how the fuck a New Zealand supermodel won one of their most beloved awards. Tomorrow we’ll all be hearing how “the prize isn’t even that special anyway” and “is painting still even a thing?” Yes, it is a thing. And what’s better than a 2D painting of this gifted, cocky, Kiwi son of a gunslinger… is that’s a 3D painting! More Taika, more reason to live! Thank you Claus, thanks Archie, and thank you, ‘Straya. @Artgalleryofnsw @claus_stangl_art #ArchibaldPrize #PackingRoomPrize
