Where It's At
I don't think this magazine/book thing received much publicity when it came out earlier this year and it's a shame because it's so well considered and intelligently put together. Richard Hart edited & compiled it and his team at Disturbance designed it and it shows. Read the interview with RH here.
I contributed some editorial bits and a poster that can be torn out designed after my favourite south africanism just now...

This is how the cover poster unfolds
Clever.

I'd rather be swimming

| can you say maillot? |
Salon 91's December group show opens this Saturday morning the 1st, featuring work by gazillions of amazing local artists and I think the prices are going to be very very good. 10% of sales from I'd Rather be Swimming will go to the I am Water conservation trust.
april & essie's almanac
The almanac is beautifully put together and available for purchase here. Individual art prints are for sale, here's mine.
February's my favourite. Hello Summertime.

Monday, significantly better thanks to a gem in the post from miss Lucy and these beauties from my mother's garden.
Paper walls
These walls are paper-thin. Our poor silent neighbours must share all our triumphs and disasters.
Who knew yarrow could be so
good-looking (and useful)!
I didn’t. Thanks wiki…
I like the common names, nosebleed
plant, old man's pepper, devil's nettle, sanguinary, milfoil, soldier's
woundwort, thousand-leaf, thousand-seal.

Some things
I added a special picture to my sidebar - it'll hang out there for a bit. Matt balanced
it wonkily on a stile in the rain with a near dead battery and a full picture
card but my trusty Nikon miraculously managed to capture the moment following
one of the best moments of my life.
Poinsettias are blooming everywhere I look. I’ve never been
a huge fan but they are so festive and I used one in a recent Christmas table
illustration for a picture book coming later this year. It’s just too cold in
CT. My dad’s extra thick mohair socks are getting me through it but only
barely.
I said goodbye to my old hood. I vow to live there
again one day (God willing) when we can afford a pretty Victorian cottage and some yard space
for a pup and a fruit tree. For now it’s down to streamlined art deco inner city
living, which I love so far – though it sounds fancier than it is.
Here are some oranges I drew in Florence.
On Thursdays, I can now almost roll out of bed and round the block and fill my basket with fresh market stuff thanks to earthfair and my new address. Last week's plain oranges surprised me - they were red inside. This is kind of amazing, I've never found blood oranges before in SA. Is it just me?
People from over the sea have mailed to request prints and
since I’m already jogging to the post office weekly with Good Heavens orders, I
think it is about time I opened an Etsy shop. I’m making it a
priority. Hold me to it.

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.

love for Taiwan & dpi (& camper)
dpi mag was delivered like blitz! They included a very generous 8 page feature on me in issue vol. 157
The beautiful cover illustration is by Ale + Ale, also featured.
Such a treat, thanks dpi for being so speedy and kind and for understanding when my hard drive died and a chunk of work got lost.
Toes in the pic are completely gratuitous but i'm so in love with my new yellow suede shoes...
a quick drawing:
