ants bike is fantastical... he customized it with a chalk board on the back and the words what do you want.... he uploads every spontaneous drawing and drunken answer to that elusive question onto his blog...
pretty neat..

so eugean got hacked to death

lets ask why he was employing a 15 year old.
why he was paying his workers R300 a month.
why he beat one of his workers until he was brain damaged.

and i dont think his death has that much to do with the song. 'kill the boer'.
eugean is in a league of his own...

may his ideas of white supremacy die with him.

theres a word of art group show at the woodstock industrial center... next week on the 15th of april...
featuring faith47, ree treweek, bison, kudzi, love and hate, senyol, loius minaar, gugulective, murray turpin, hein coetzef..
should be fun.

then after that im going on some travels...
a mural project in canada,
exhibition in spain
and a south african group show in holland..

ill keep you updated..
but if your in cape town come and see the show next week i had a glimpse of bisons work yesterday and its super fine.

hmmm.... so much talk about racism....
all this rape, corruption, violence, hate... its so boring...
can we rather talk about philosophy and the stars and the beauty of human evolution... can we talk about the space between things and about how the leaves crunch underfoot in autumn... and that feeling of the first rains... please...
south africa.

tyler tattooed my ankle this morning..
this was unplanned and very apt.
i need some grounding... an anchor to keep my anxiety at bay...
i also have a ladder in my car for potential painting. but im not sure yet if ill use it today.
the days have been rolling... and my direction is that of where the wind blows. which disturbs me but also i think it might be as it should be.. im not sure now. completely not sure.

what im saying about the previous post is... that it seems all this talk from malema and the whole e.t. saga is bringing out everyones latent racism that they havent really dealt with.. bringing it all to the surface... i wish we could get over that sickness and start dealing with the real issue facing this country which is one of classism...

and also focus on things of greater beauty and mental skill...
that of art and lines, color, sound and space and time... things like that...
but anyway...

two of my favorite artists... mike saal and alexia webster have started a daily blog of their photos...
called say your name backwards...
continuously updated magical misted moments from the memories of their daily surroundings...

and no one could understand why the brittle skeletons of birds fell like snowflakes...
fell continually...

stand back and forget the idea of us controlling our surroundings.
we are mearly leaves floating in the wind and volcanic ash.

here is my fortuna from the word of art show last thursday...
some more pics from the nothing is everything show...
