Illustration Friday: Perennial

ART

I adore cyclamens and am constantly in danger of bursting into tears of joy if I contemplate their beauty for too long. The first time I saw one was around 6 years ago – I’d never seen upside down flowers like that before and was instantly obsessed. Another thing I love about them is that they sleep during the summer and bloom during winter, something I’d do too if I could…

My drawing doesn’t do their surreal beauty justice but it was fun to do nonetheless.

Jesse Clegg, Dance, You’re on Fire & McCree at Mercury

Saturday 23 July 2011

My mom likes Jesse Clegg – which isn’t meant an insult, as she has great music taste (for the most part) – so when I told her he was playing in Cape Town and I was keen to go, she didn’t need much convincing to come watch too.

In the forest

Sunday 17 July 2011

My friend Matt takes great photos but his camera’s been gathering a bit of dust the last while, so, since we both wanted a change of scenery and hate posing, we decided to model for eachother in the forest…given our mutual fondness for being on the other side of the camera, it was an interesting exercise but lots of fun nonetheless…

Coal & Black Moscow at Zula, Them Tornados at Club Voom Voom

saturday 16 July 2011

I can’t remember when last Capetonians were as spoilt for choice of cool gigs as we were last Saturday. A little bit of disappointment was inevitable, but while I’m sorry to have missed Desmond & the Tutus and Holiday Murray at The Assembly, I really enjoyed seeing Coal again and am glad to have caught Them Tornados before they take some time off from gigging.

Saturday steampunk silliness

I’ve always liked the whole Steampunk aesthetic and have wanted to try doing something in that style…luckily for me, not only is my brother a willing model who feels the same, but he also builds bizarre pneumatic weaponry that made a great addition to the outfit we DIYed on Saturday.
