Biography

Roy Good's creative career began early: at age 12, his cartoons were published in Christchurch newspaper The Press. Every Saturday morning one could find the tween in art classes at Canterbury College School of Arts. Following a gap year after he left high school, Good headed back to the college to start an arts degree, majoring in painting.

“We sort of made it up as we went along as it was all so new.”
