I had some images to show of some of my work up at this years KKNK but I really have no idea where I put them. There is a little voice telling me that I have in fact deleted them before downloading them.So what to show you? This lovely little pic of an aubergine wearing my glasses fits the bill perfectly.




Vague dates to put in your diary: Miniatures show at Art Lovers,some time in May. A show based on lions some time in June. Then there is some frame thing some time when I know not. There is also a group photography thing happening some time in August. A Chagall thing some time or another at the Trent Gallery. A solo thing not sure what I am going to be doing at Parts and Labor some time in November. There may be some other stuff too but I can't remember what or when, oh hang on, Back-light IV but I haven't been asked yet so I am just presuming that I am going to be in that one. That is in June. So there you are, Happy to say that everything is well organised and perfectly under control. 'Bravo' I hear you say....... Indeed, thank you.

This is Rosie. An extremely fat Pot Bellied Pig. What does she do? Sleep, rummage around for food, sleep. Every now and then she may complain that a step is too high but otherwise she seems to have a really chilled life. Nice.

So what's been happening the last few weeks? Well some of my stuff has been up at the KKNK in Oudtshoorn. The timing was perfect. We were on holiday in the area and so were able to pop in to have a look. So what is Oudtshoorn like? Hmmmm hot does not even come close to describe the furnace that we experienced for the couple of hours that we were there. It's dusty. There are some ostriches in and around the place, which is great if you like them but otherwise.......well, hmmmm.....yes.

I am sure that Oudtshoorn has a lot to offer but the terrifying music that was blasted out while we were there rendered us almost completely helpless. All our senses were stunned into shut down. It was as if we were fleeing the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse as we dashed down the street desperately looking for sanctuary. Our bodies were just moments away from been shaken to bits by a wall of unimaginable music inspired horror.  One thing is for sure, I am going to design myself a special protective suite so that if I find myself any where near Oudtshoorn and the KKNK, I will be able to protect myself from the aural nightmares that almost crushed me.
