Created after govhack. There are talks of New Zealand splitting off from GovHack. I know there are issues, and the name is one of them. GovDev might be a better name. The fact they explain themselves because of the ‘hack’ in the name is not good.

AdamRichardson. Economics: Modelling Team. I like the strips on his tie.

There were certainly more diversity in the Economics team than management. This is Amy Rice. Economics: modelling team. Face is flat - the lighting was not string enough to show dark/light on the skin.

Another Amy. This time: Amy Wood. Economics: Forecast Team. Decided to do blog text. This would make it easier to paint over if I choose to do grayscale/color layers. The 4 suns in the sky have spikes coming out of them.

Anella Monro. Economics: Research Team. More could of been done in the background. The suns look a bit neglected.

Benjamin Wong. Economics: Research Team. Glasses were fun. The 5 suns have small spikes.

Jame Culling. Economics: Policy Analysis Team.

Random sketch of a robot. Similar background to recent works though.

Part two of my Reserve Bank portraits for GovHack. This is the management that I did not finish on the 2nd day of the events. I would like to continue these and draw researchers from RBNZ. This is all the management finished though.

Only two woman are on management. Glasses on this one. The last few portraits wore glasses which was fun to draw. Had issues with the neck but whatever. Beads are a big thing.

More hair than the previous. Caused a cut off of the forehead. Lindsay Jenkin. Head of Human Resources.

Ten suns. I had someone ask me at govhack why there were more than one suns. Fantasy. Mark Perry. His tie had a circle pattern so it matches the suns.

Mike Hannah did not shave this day. Beards are fun to draw though, this one isn’t long though. Head of Communication, Board Secretary.

Mike Wolyncewicz. Nothing on the background. This was the last portrait I drew at govhack so was very tired. He has a great smile. It was a challenge to draw!

Patrick Hoerler. Head of Risk Assessment and Assurance (RAA). Almost no hair so that made it each. Created water and hills but no suns.

I am doing GovHack this weekend. In previous years I worked with Ministry of Education jobs data, and the following general govt jobs. This year I decided to focus on the Reserve Bank of New Zealand website. A redesign for fun.

Bernard Hodgetts. Head of Financial Stability.

skewed head. I ran out of room for the top of his hair.

Geoff Bascand

Graeme Wheeler. Governor.

Grant Spencer. Deputy Govenor and Head of Financial Stability.

Menu ideas. Striping back the main menus. It’s going to be very basic.

Stephen Gordon.

Toby Fiennes. Head of Prudential Supervision. In the background I drew my typical landscape - water, hills, and circle shapes with spikes in the sky.
