Rudy Rucker is back from his trip to New Zealand and has been blogging about it.
I saw a lot of Charles F. Goldie's paintings in Auckland and another Goldie painting in Wellington and another in Christchurch; Goldie (1870-1947) painted Maoris with full facial tattoos, these tattoos are called moko or ta moko… Note that the moko are relatively recent, only really took off after the Europeans showed up in the 1830s, as then the Maori had metal chisels so they could carve the moko in better. This picture is called "All 'e Same t'e Pakeha" which means, I think, "All Europeans look the same," or maybe it means "Don't I look European?" — pakeha being the Maori word for European.
