Vuleka 2010

I was pleasantly surprised that my "self-portrait" was selected for Vuleka 2010 Art Competition at art.b in Bellville. The words on the piece are quotes from Emerson. Come & check out the exhibition, it is running until 19 September 2010.

Lost in translation?

I went to Japan with my mom for a couple of weeks in Dec/Jan... and thought I would share these cool signs & graphics with you. As you can see the Japanese are REALLY polite and almost everything is beautifully designed!

Love the country and would go back in a flash! ; )

Making a bit of a splash!!!

Well eventually I am back in Africa, and decided to make a bit a of a SPLASH at Kolmanskop's olympic size swimming pool in southern Namibia! ; ) Went on a road trip to Namibia and our fist tourist attraction was Kolmanskop. An amazing place with an incredible history!

The saltwater olympic size swimming pool constructed of concrete located on the hill.

And of course there would be a diving board for all those back & forward somersaults! ; )

Beautiful steel ladders going in & out of the pool.

Here is Kolmanskop Champagne was the same price as freshwater and it was always accompanied with caviar! Every house received a crate of lemonade & water as well as a huge block of ice every week. And there was a train that collected the ladies to go shopping, even though the town only consisted out of three rows of buildings! Agh those were the times hey! ; )

bunny season...

the last supper...

Last night we enjoyed a lovely meal at Sloppy Sam's in Green Point... seen as the "last supper" before I leave for Australia tomorrow! ; ) Sjoe I cannot believe it! So tonight it is the NEST exhibition opening and then tomorrow it is off the OZ! See you all back around the 28th!
