Frizzell said it was daunting to be given the task of designing an egg.
"At first, I thought it looked lovely as just a blank egg, so I thought I should just sign it and leave it at that. But even a bad idea like that got me started on the creative process.
"I didn't want to over-think it and try to be too clever or witty. In the end, I went for quintessential Dick Frizzell - the minute you see the egg, you'll know it's mine."
Eighty of the eggs will be auctioned on Trade Me, while 20 will be put on the block at a gala event on April 16. The main egg hunt will run from March 21 to April 22.
