He came here to make a documentary about New Zealand's street artists and was so impressed, now Perth street artist Handbrake is returning to stamp his own mark on a wall himself as part of the eighth Taupō Street Art Festival Graffiato.
Handbrake - Hans Bruechle to his Mum - is also a TV Presenter, which is what originally brought him over here. He'll be making his own mark in Taupō over Labour Weekend alongside local, national and other Australian street artists.
Handbrake visited several of New Zealand's street art destinations for his programme which is currently in post-production before being pitched to the Australian TV networks.
