WARNING the knives are out!
Aint no road hog
Hi-viz just got humourous with this plea for would be hedgehog terrorisers and other roadkill enthusiasts to look out for their milkie while on the road and keep the scary out of delivering dairy. And if you're a hedgehog, we strongly advise you to stay off the road.
Speaking in tern
Nayland Kindy collaborative art
Love this groove reminder from Nelson's Nayland Kindergarten to let the inner beauty sneak out of us all and see it in those around us. Nature is always a great prompter.
Still and sneaky fishing vigil
The wild and sneaky thought chain... son ponders how long his dad will take to catch a fish... Dad takes time out to wonder how long the moment of peace will last... fish ponders the next meal... while the photographer ponders capturing the moment on camera.
Sphere a creative thought
Wildly creative sandball creatures and sculpture rolled onto Tahunanui beach adding a distinctly spherical sense of guardianship to this beautilicious domain of sea, mountains and space.

Boy wrangles shark
Check out this wild shark wrangling at sunset, as a young Nelson adventurer wrestles and rides this blue shark into the sunset at Tahuna Beach Nelson.
Banjo Bijou
Loving the gorgeous Banjo Bijou showcased in the Trouble and Fox window in Nelson's Bank Lane. Thanks Claire Ellery for your fab work, we look forward to seeing more.
Skull and crossbones
The wild and sneaky musings of Pirate Pearl leave us well amused. Walking the plank versus planking... no contest.
Getting a ribbing
Have guerilla knitters taken to Nelson's streets? Someone's been wildly creative casting on to warm up this sculpture at Millers Acre. We love it, what do you think?
Raking it in... and out
We all have it, this wildly creative part of us that just wants to sneak, peek or rip out. It's who we really are, it's so diverse and so much fun. We continue to love the random acts of sand art that sneak out onto Tahuna Beach courtesy of a rake wielding creator, adding a little wildly creative, eco-friendly, sand re-textured accent for the beach walkers and drivers passing by.
Sneak out!
Recently, a wild young sneaker sneaked out into a tree, undiscovered by its owner. After checking out the sunset in Cable Bay it decided to stay on, so hold onto your sneakers at sunset or they could get away from you (especially if you're out of your tree at the time).
Wildly out of the blue
Wild smile beach wood spotted over the weekend at Tahuna. A wildly clear direction that life is meant to be fun - just follow the arrow. Very difficult not to smile after seeing that.
Riwaka Daisy
Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do
I'm half crazy, for all that fast kissing you do
I note your stylish hectarage
Wildy creative couture
The amazing race
Blue team, red team, yellow team all indulge in colourful tactical art off Nelson's Haulashore Island over the weekend.
Tahuna art exhibition
Tahuna beach is like a giant wild and sneaky art gallery to me. I am always wildly blown away by its ever changing exhibition of rainbows, sand etchings and wind blown sand moving pictures, sunsets and wave edge light dances. Here's a few pics from the latest exhibition! They are effortlessly magnificent, a good reminder of who we really are.
Cockadoodledoo
Why did the chicken cross the road? To stop traffic. This rooster's posting no bills out back of Brightwater, Nelson.
Pine cone?
Should you be looking for a beacon of direction, this wildly pruned tree in The Wood of Nelson has a wild cone blossom on the roadside. You may smile at this wildly creative hi-viz - clearly the person who did this was not out of their tree, but in it! Indeed, we like this creative flare.
Crazy paving
The whole of Elliott Street in central Nelson got re-sealed today, presumably to look spic and span for a certain large rugby event coming up at Trafalgar Park later this year... except just this one little bit that is. We like to think of it as wildly sneaky creative road work art work.
Hanging around
Overheard in Nelson, a Collingwood Street conversation...
Paisley: Hey man, you look terrible. You wanna iron yourself out a bit.
Blue: Humph!
Paisley: Decidedly dishevelled even. And you’re normally such a stuffed shirt too.
Blue: Well, we got home last night, me and him, three sheets to the wind and we lost the thread a bit.
Paisley: Lost the thread? Looks more like he lost the shirt off his back and you’ve been hung out to dry mate...
Blue: What would you know? You’re just a button-down, wide-weave, over-decorated fashion victim.
Paisley: Oh keep your shirt on buddy or those knickers down the line will get in a twist. I’m 100% wild and sneaky art cotton I’ll have you know.
Legless
Spotted, a convention of wild and sneaky aprons looking for legs. Can you match the legs to an apron, or even your legs to an apron? Clearly, if you are tired of your current proportions there are all sorts of epic proportions to choose from. Cooking may never be the same again. We think Jeanette Marlow's novelty aprons at Nelson's Saturday morning market are wildly wonderful and fun.
Wild & sheepish
Parker the sheep likes to be wildly on the down low. He is a shy, silent, retiring type, who prefers to fly under the radar and loiter in the cool shade of the tomato plants kindly provided by his sheperd/gardener at his home in Stoke. Parker is often greeted with a maa-aa-a by children passing by on the way to school. He likes to give them a silent suitably philosophic sheepish look and continue with his enjoyment of the day.
Love is... wild and sneaky...
Valentine’s Day is approaching and love is in the air... and the trees, the sand, lying amidst driftwood… even planting kisses upon some peoples’ lucky rears. Here in Nelson, love is sneaking out absolutely everywhere...
You're wildly, creatively, heart-warmingly, sizzling HOT Nelson baby! We're veritably inundated with love around here. And we luuuuuuurve that about you.
Warm some hearts and share some love by uploading your own pics of wild, sneaky and creative love everywhere around you to the WASA! Wild & Sneaky Art Facebook page. We love how wild and sneaky love is xx
Sprint to the finish line
Two vehicles in one turbo-powered courier van sneaks out in Nelson. Go Sprint Couriers go! We love your wild and sneaky style.
Stunt grunt
The Wild Nitro Flashback Stunt car was raring to roar out at Gourdie Automotive Ltd on Waimea Road yesterday. Gourdie’s are the home of wild sneaky auto creativity, their cars are legendary feats of colour and engine grunt. I was wildly in awe of the purple sparkly nitro tanks, maxed out exhaust system and pink fixtures - apologies in advance to the more mechanically literate among you.
Imagine if we lived life with this kind of wild gassed up gorgeousness, flair, abandon and colour, and expressed it with the kind of oomph that purrs and growls under the bonnet of one of those machines.
Bug wit
On a mission to prevent bugs sneaking into the house, I set off in search of the ultimate insect remedy, albeit somewhat reluctantly. The not anything shall survive insect shelf, with it's wild array of bugicide options, suddenly loomed large before me.
It also reminds me that remaining larger than life is always the best policy.
High flying art
"Once I Learn to Fly I am Never Coming Down" - these wildly inspiring words can be spotted on a very cool random work of art that has sneaked out on a Nelson roundabout near Tahunanui.
In the vicinity, if you have the eye for it, look out for big black gulls soaring effortlessly on the updraft, while the younger ones flap wildly as they learn to handle the variations in tempo. They pull some pretty wild and sneaky stunts along the way that make you smile.
Wild windows
Palm Boutique Nelson are known for their continuously evolving, wildly inspiring window art. Heat lamps get wild and personified in their shop window this week with wild old stuff and reflections. Groovy.
Snooze patrol
Gone for a dip. Nelson Surf Live Saving Club's wild and sleepy hammock along Tahuna Beach, down near The Beach Cafe.
No shit creative
WASAcrappa no shit creative transformation gone wild, crafted by WASA! director Alison Rae. Beware! Art can and will sneak out anywhere, anytime on any throne...
Bring out the gimp
An unconfirmed rumour of wild, sneaky and unexpected hilarity, good humoured generosity and cheeky fun has reached our ears here at wild & sneaky. The way we heard it was this…
Balderdash
There's mobile massage, mobile dog wash and Mr Whippy. Now, as spotted in Nelson's Trafalgar Street, there's a mobile service for the balding. Wherever will things head next?
Gnome away from home
Far too hot for gardening so this gnome and sidekick got out of the house yesterday and were spotted looking statuesque at Nelson's Summer Six event.
