Max (Turner) insisted that I accompany him on a pub crawl around the Auckland bars to draw the life in the pubs. I came home with a series of drawings of all sorts of people. It was fantastic. I was not too nervous, it was real and I appreciated the whole thing seriously. And that was the beginning of my pub paintings. Garth Tapper
