you can delete with kk.Destroy()

kk.Move((166,400))

I'd do that, no reason to destroy one and make another.

You might also want to consider just drawing the Bitmap to Window with a 
wx.DC -- see the Wiki and/or the demo for examples.

Also, depending on what else you want wx.lib.floatcanvas may will give 
you a lot more features.
