Kabomo - All things grey

I went to this album launch which also happened to be the artists birthday. Its was an amazing performance and I got a free copy of the album (so I'm pretty glad I braved the harsh Jo'burg winter and nyanduled aaaalllllllll the way to SELBY to see it all.) If you can get yourself a copy then do, it's pretty little bit of local romance. Plus he won me over by doing a tribute to my bra Hugh Masekela. :) Awesome album cover too. (I'm glad he didn't go and plaster a picture of himself with some kind of "In deep though"
facial expression in  shirt with huge collars and a pink cravat. #ThinkLocalgospelArtists - Sies)

Mad Men @Ogilvyjhb

I made an illustration for a quote by Maria De Vos.

My friend Justice Mukheli showed me this style of illustration on Friday. I wanted to try it out so I decided to illustrate something my girl Maria said on Saturday. It moved me :)

I took a picture of Tammy, I loved her look :)

This weekends shoot with Maria, Romy, Thabo, Ina, Amanda, Marcel,Tammy and myself. :)

Can't wait for the pics :)

We have lost a gem

Some people need no tribute. Legends lives speak for themselves.

Good men hats :)

These are awesome. I found them on http://www.tumblr.com/photo/1280/4787255647/1/tumblr_ljz1tjhdF21qixrpk. They just conjure up memories of the many good men who worked hard in a past life. :)

For Akona

It bothers me,

A lot. That brands try to put African 'spins' on Eurocentric campaigns. This breeds all these 'catch phrase advertising' that creates no value but only creates irritating fads. Aggrrr. Often we get work to 'localise' and that just means ad a 'heita' or a 'bafowethu' to their existing payoff lines. This is bull****. Let's have real authentic African work. Please #CloseVent

Anyhow here's my point, I drew this for Akona ( http://www.akmosaic.blogspot.com/ ) simply because she's a constant reminder of African authenticity. That's all.

Localise THIS!

Mara Hruby

She is beautiful. Her music is a sensual, honest, reminiscent-of-the-old type of soul sound. My favourite on her  album 'From her eys' is Take of your cool. Then, Send it on and Character.

I listened and drifted out of my work populated world into a coffee pungent cafe in Brooklyn with well dresses young people and honest food. That's all I look for in music - an escape. In my opinion it's worth paying some proper money for.

Thanks Mpumi :)

I think this will be my look this summer

Smashin Sisters

I love this look. It's all the things I love smashed (very gracefully) into one beautiful ensemble. Africa+Europe+En Vouge+Vintage+Old School+New School+Textured+Neutral+red lips = Wow. I might mix in some shorts in there too. Love it

Akara for Vlisco. Genius!
