//SO MANY COWBOYS, SO FEW INDIANS.

Friday after work, when i'm vegging in front of my computer in a somnambulist state, slurping my already cold again coffee, I post something on my blog. Today I htought i'd just post a picture my friend Maike (www.welovepictures.co.za) took of me yesterday.It was great fun playing indian on an old abandoned tennis court.

That's pretty much what i'm about:).Well captured mater!

//SOME OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS.

I think determining who ones favourite artist/artwork is, would be close to impossible for any creatively inclined person, or rather anyone who takes an interest in art.I thought about this the other day and decided to try pin down at least my top ten favourite artworks...Ofcourse this is subject to change frequently.Yet, here are some of my current favourites for those who care:


TERENCE KOH-VITRINES


TERENCE KOH-BLACK DRUMS

TERENCE KOH-"THESE DECADES WE NEVER SLEEP"


FOLKERT DE JONG (GREAT DUTCH ARTIST)

CAI GUO-XIANG-Inopportune (artist also works with gunpowder)

ERNESTO NETO (great in general)

BANKS VIOLETTE -(art based on doom band Sunn O))) )


YUKINORI YANAGI

//GIMME SOME TRUTH.

Herman Hesse is not only a great literary master but a man of truth..I suppose it's like Dylan would say...Gimme some truth..Well here it i s...Stumbled accross this today.A word of wisdom of one of the smartest men I have stumbled accross:





//SIGGI EGGERTSON! What an innovative designer. Siggi's style is definitely distinctive and captues something extremely uniqe, that makes it immediately recognisable.Eggertson originates from the land of milk and honey...yes, that would be Iceland.He has designed various pretty recognisable album covers, including eminent artists such as Gnarls Barkley.another interesting fact about Siggi is that he is still quite young (1984!) considering his success. Eggertson ontained his education at the Reykjavík School of art, and later located to Berlin, where he now resides. His work does not restrict itself to graphics, but even extends to quilt making with a graphic edge! please give him a minute of your time, as it is worth it! click here to check out his website. here is some of his work:


Berlin


Wolf

Medals (for Stüssy)

//Maybe it's the drukqs?

Whilst going through my images i found an hilarious one that I thought i'd have to share.I've also been listening to Aphex Twin again lately, especially the album Drukqs.It is rumoured that the title DRUKQS which when spoken sounds similar to "drug use" has something to do with the sound.Yet, either way..great album and awesome musician! Hence the suitable image:



//GOING OLD SCHOOL.

Forget vinyl toys! This Layered Bearbrick is the "organic" version of the prototype bear shape which is dominant in the vinyl toy culture. The toy is limited to a number of 150 pieces world wide and was bought out by Medicom.
