Loner behind the Canvas

 

Something magical about Art and what it evokes in a human being. I was recently humbled by the talented @LonerTK with a sketch of me. Loner refers to himself as just that, a loner who kills he's time in front of he's canvas trying to better himself and touching the rest of the world with he's art. For him, art is actually  an extramural  activity for me as he is currently studying  software development  in TUT. he says that art found him in grade 5 at school and he only really took it seriously years later by taking art classes.

 

                                     

I asked him to finish the following statement:


Q: "keep in mind that I'm an artist and I'm sensitive about my ish" do you feel the same as you post your work on Twitter and Instagram all the time. ?

A:  yeah I do get a bit sensitive  towards negative reviews, but a little constructive criticism never hurt anyone right? I've  learnt to deal with online hostility so most of people's hateful comments simply roll off my back

                                   

I would like to thank Loner again for the sketch, it is very beautiful and I really hope you get an opportunity to see your work on world platforms and you get to bring joy to people like you did to me.

 

I say find your passion and take a step towards it. you never know where it take you. the world awaits.

 

Design Indaba - Take 1

Then we arrived at the Indaba. My first one at that. Didn't mind the shortage of parking at what not, i was in good company so it was all good. Plus i was just hella excited I just wanted to be inspired and see some cool kids and what they had to offer.

First picture of the day and I knew it was gonna go down good. The vibe was amazing and the level of the stalls was on point. i wanted to see everything. i was like a kid in a candy store. Huge  smile on my face and clicking away on my phone.

Clever display this one. I was in love with it on all levels.

So the play stand was fun thou. Took pics and was really involved and drank free play. lol. I even got to say hi to Max, yes he is the dude who takes cool pictures (stops gushing) lol. I cant wait to see our pictures in 2 weeks on the Play Heroes website. I'm stoked.

So the cool kids were in full attendance. I even grew the balls to ask these two if i could take a pic then in the middle of it all chickened out and didn't tell them I have a blog and you cool kids will be on that. Eish, someone needs to teach me the ways of this whole going up to strangers and asking to take pics of them. They were nice thou and allowed me to take a pic.

How can i forget, the support Cape Town 2014 people were also in attendance and we took those cool pics with boards. Now we just waiting for them to post them and then i will post them up. On that waiting note, we also waiting on the hommies from Mini to post our 360 camera jump shot, that was like all sorts of the shit. *sigh.

I will do another post on the fashion show and a half I saw.....

My art and I

randomly came about at work..

Lady of song, Mother of Jazz.

So I also do a little bit of sketching too. Its one of my many loves but, something I do not do as much as I used to. flip come to think about it, I should really get back to this on a regular basis. When I sketch the world shuts down and stops and its just me and whats to become on the paper.
