I feel like a bit of a bum because I havnt bought a sketch book since my little accident with rouge cab driver!
So here we go!Ive decided to name it “The storm in my mind”
Ya I know..
1989 a good year
One of my many wives!
Come to the exhibition for more..
word.
Hmm…
The titles a song lyric by my special friend disco from Sedge Warbler
Fantastical!
Last weekend was great,Nolan Dennis constant starting point for inspiration..putting down the microphone and speaking with my hands again.
Just thought the title was very suiting for the illustration which I did for a friend,we’re doing an art swap!Art swaps are great because it’s a win win situation your a broke artist and they like your art so instead of buying it for a million bucks,we go straight back to the good old bartering system which is supa:)
Theres a storm on it’s way,a storm with clouds filled with colour and rain drops made of paint put down your umbrella my love this time we’re getting wet..
“SOMETHING HAS CHANGED IN ME” 16 September keep the date open its on like its never been.
We hosted a world cup:)
we danced,we cried,we watched the stars,we got drunk,we got some well needed infrastructure,we tried to make a voodo doll of Luis Suarez!,we got drunk and..and now the poor Africans “no pun intended” are suffering from a hang over.What a beautiful season it was,big ups to South Africa for being amazing hosts, truly proud!But with some good things came some bad things..
Bad: The fact that corporate South Africa thinks that they have made a break though to the masses by gaining knowledge of the ever so popular word “Ayoba!” my lord..”ayoba!”was a word said in a moment of joy by black youth when expressing joy or happiness,usually on your local dance floor or when giving your home girl a high five.To every lecturer,teacher and fellow South African who has just caught on to the phrase when you say “Sipho thats not Ayoba!” it’s kind of like saying “Hannes thats not Yay” yes you sound semi retarded.Please take the above into consideration the next time you speak to your token black friend thanx
Good: 66 Albert road housing great studios for artists such as Faith47,Senyol,paper girl,Love Hate and Bison I think? Amoungst others it also happens to be the resting place for the word of art gallery.Now if you dont already know you better ask some body!Its a art agency and gallery that seeks to showcase the best of new art and emerging artists.Low brow,graffiti,street art everything that makes me jive under the sun!In association with the Bin and they put together a reggies rush style exhibition were they called for submissions from any artists to make a beautiful event of buying and selling art for only R250!iyo it was great and the submissions were mind blowing!!makes me wana step up my game by a million..
Adidas took over the building and made it a crazy cool hang out spot with the Gallery at the bottom,skate and sport in the middle,and lounge including a bar,big screen to watch games and dj booth with art and graff every were in the room at the top!What my house is supposed to look like!Got to sell works which is always great:)Big shout to Rudi,Anthea,Ricky you know why..and the talented Danielle Clough for the pics
Boom shakA! enough with the smack talk here the pics
These two are personal favourites the’re from my new range of paint stains..
Something big is on its way so keep an eye out..
p.s I promise never to speak this much kuk again any time soon!
Philip is dead.
So i was lucky enough to be apart of what turned out to be a supa day of art,beats,rain,Mexican food and fun,a couple of weeks ago!My hommie Normal hosted a live painting event in ode to the day of the dead.It was held @ 38 special coffee shop/gallery in Cape town and there were a couple of other artists doing their thing on the day as well. Baka,Rist,Normal and a secret guest appearance from an old friend Stu!Paint,skulls and good people in rainy weather,what els can a young man ask for?Big shout to Rist for doing A crazy piece in strait up acrylics and markers in the little time we had to make things happen!watch out for this chap,mind of a wolf work of a master..anywho I know ive been hiding for a bit but big things are on there way I promise..dont say Mr Slippers didnt warn you!Beats were provided by Remy gold and friends and the pictures by Miss Jessica Jones her photographs make every thing feel like a good dream,and im fond of dreams so..wish there were more pics from the event I could put up but beggars cant be choosers I guess.whoa!
She told me when the kids I was hanging with were shifty
And showed me how even a thorn bush can be pretty
its true young man you can take over this city
and flew away as fast as she came on her birthday all the same..
