Kersfees, awe.

1. Found some vector pieces that I've been playing around with. Figured I might as well upload them since there is no way that I'm going to pick them up again after the holiday.

Ek dink mense dink ek is 'n hipster, tot hulle sien watse musiek ek luister.

1. Started drawing sketches and building proto frames for work for an upcoming group show. But things started getting a bit overwhelming with my theory, so decided to rather leave them to finish bit by bit in 2011. Going to have a five edition print of previous work on fine arts paper,going to frame one edition.

2. very tired at the gallery on Wednesday. Made some rad drawings on the train. Might ink one of them up if i have some free time.

3. Worked some more on the structure of my thesis.

4. I fashioned a real life rotkop, but whatever plastic mechanism made him squeak when you squeezed him eventual broke after continues abuse for about a week (much to the relief of my family members). I think I might set him free, considering gluing him on top of a streetlight, especially now since the streets are so empty this time of year.

5. Got some rad photos from the Tygerburger local newspaper. Really dig the visual language of street marches.

Krismis in Belhar. (Screw die volsin ding vir nou.)

 

1. Went along with my mom to a Christmas party in Belhar block 23 – one of the most run down areas in the cape flats. Where I met Veronica, who runs a soup kitchen from her house during the week. In all honesty, I got emotional just listening to her speaking to the children.

I think to date I haven’t met anyone as passionate about loving her community as Veronica. Her story stirred something transcending in me. I can not overstate how much just talking and listening to her for an hour inspired me. 

2. Collected some rad visuals. One is from an old book i found in the garage, the other is a picture accompanying  an article in Die Burger.


3. I spent some time structuring all my thesis data in a coherent narrative.
