I made these some time ago, then I kind of forgot about them and rediscovered them while going through some old folders. Make what you like of these concrete jelly babies. If you want clues think: internet, super organism, and of course…tentacles! ;)

Africa Burns (let’s burn some art)

What can I say, Afrika Burns was fantastic… It ruined all other festivals for me.

Afrika Burn is a 100% participant created and sponsored event involving radical self expression and self reliance. It’s an experiment in temporary community building exploring concepts related to art outside gallery and museum institutions.
Encouraging a culture of environmental mindfulness…

PS: Check out my friend Diaan’s awesome photos of the Ford V6 art car: Dreamfoundry

Hi there hairy friends and anonymous followers. I’m working hard on a new website and it should be up in less than a few months. This one is quite a long term project and it should be good. Well that’s all I have on my heart, have a good night and don’t forget to close the taps properly. Is that a Piet-My-Vrou I hear in the distance? I’ll be off to the next distraction.
