I'm still here

I love cypress trees. These are in Prins Albert and I just learnt that the town turns 250 years old this year. Happy birthday little dorp!

lucky duck

I love dear rae jewellery, but I love Karin more. She made me this beautiful gold ring with a deep green stone and earlier this year M gave me a delicate set of her sun and moon rings. The perfect gift. Dear rae studio-shop in the Woodstock Foundry is a place with good good vibes. 
I dropped off one or two tiny pen and gold ink drawings there today. They're available for sale in her shop at 160 Albert Road.

gusty thursday

'Gusty Thursday' is available as an editioned archival print (on heavy weight fine art paper) at Salon 91 's Winter Wonderland show - which ends this Saturday afternoon. That means two (and a bit) more days left to browse some lovely wintry prints by lots of talented illustrators. Details here 

Winter Wonderland

Last night's opening for the Winter Wonderland show was packed! Loads of pretty stuff. More details here and here.

(I cut these asymmetrical 'snowflakes' individually from 1cm label stickers - editioned prints are available through Salon 91 gallery )

Here's a quick sketch I made for the window display. It makes me want to re-watch Fargo for some reason...

(The weather's not playing along - its HOT in my studio today)

Red hair and hello Winter

The internet loves reds right? I certainly do. This lady's hair changed colour pretty soon after I gave it to M , I think it may be green now. So we learn. Archival quality else the sun will claim it. Are you out there Lady M? Has it faded away completely?

(It's a beautiful sunshine winter's day in the mother city) 

Paper is You

Paper is You , a group show I’m participating in opens tonight at Salon 91 in Kloof street. I’m thrilled to be joining such a talented bunch. It opens at 7:30pm and runs until the 25^th of June. 

The collaborative piece each of us worked on: Elsabe Milandri, Colijn Strydom, Paul Senyol, Marlise Keith, Andrew Sutherland, Gabrielle Raaff and me.

A detail from one of my works on show…

cold lion

Wow. Cape Town is freezing today. 

And in other news; had a call from Ma & Pa earlier who spotted THREE lions at close range on the farm a couple of days ago (this kind of sighting happens once in a blue moon for us). Oh sigh. I'd rather be there.
