Help! Wellington locals needed for info on geeky shops

Hey everyone,
I'm looking for geeky/awesome stores in the Wellington area. First reason is because I want to check them out. Second is that I moved to NZ half a year ago, and started to professionally produce some of my artwork within the last couple months. I need some help sourcing out stores and places that may be interested in selling my art. I am heading to Wellington on the weekend and I'm wondering if anyone knows of any good comic book stores, art galleries, souvenir shops, etc.
Here's a couple links to the geekier side of my artwork that I am selling in the form of gallery quality prints. Have a look and I would appreciate any help with finding some shops to head over to.

The Star Wars original painting is still for sale and I would love to find a happy shop to display/sell it in too. Thanks for your help!

As a Wellington local geek and an artist, you'd think I would be able to help provide an answer here, but I am so out of the loop on the retail situation beyond the likes of The Warehouse and Farmers, that I have no idea what else is around. I seldom make it into town these days. I hope you have some success!
