Green Pop Goes Artistic


A few weeks ago, I helped out Green Pop with a reverse graffiti campaign. It was for a good cause, very creative and a lot of fun. We used a high pressure water-hose on walls near the main foot traffic area of UCT.








I made a real Hand-Cut (Hand-Drawn) Stencil to test out, the cardboard did not last long against the high pressure water-hose but it still came out looking fresh and don't worry you will be sure to see it again, its getting vectored...

Here is a really cool video that was shot during the day, it shows a bit more of the process -

or better yet,

Help the cause go to....

DJ Just Be...?
Rocking an over 4 hour set on the top floor,
(the vibe was so rad) it was packed all night. The people seriously wouldn't go home, they had to be thrown out!

'The Beat' Mash Up Cape Town and Less Than Two Weeks Later I Stumble Across Their 1st Album On Wax In Durban...



'The Beat' (known in North America as The English Beat) were formed in Birmingham, England in 1978, during a period of high unemployment and social upheaval in the UK. They are a 2 Tone Ska band who's songs fuse Ska, Soul, Reggae, and Punk Rock.

I had the opportunity to cover their Nov. show in Cape Town, it was a classic performance and I linked with the band for a bit after the show. Ranking Roger was a 'spot on chap' and his son Ranking Junior has got jokes, not to mention he is a sly one with the ladies.

A local print music guide was doing a review and needed an image, this friend of mine hit me up last min because they didn't have decent pictures to supply the mag. So I sent them 2 or 3 images before leaving for DBN, they used one of them but I was not around when the mag was out. While in DBN funny enough I found their 1st Album on Vinyl for like 20 Rand (about 3 Dollars) at a pop-up record shop.

When I got back another friend had cut out the article and saved it for me. Here it is along with a few other images of the night. I will be uploading a Funky-Bad'Man Vinyl Mix next week with one of the rad tracks until then,

safe-

I have been doing Oil Seascapes on Driftwood for a while now, I find the wood surfing up and down the shores of the globe. These are a few I painted the last time I had a good run of inspiration. Enjoy-
