Weaver birds- a new drawing inspired by all the birds weaving & singing around me. Will screen-print it as wall hangings and T-shirts for our shop range.

Trance- wall-hanging which I designed. At a decorative level these panels are intricate folk art. They are interpretations of two separate ancient artistic traditions: one from San / Bushman rock art in Eswatini, the other from Bronze Age Finland and Finnish rock art.

Open your eyes, one of my drawings from The Poetry Session. In the midst of all this insane violence and chaos it's important to pay attention to the small beauties of life and love.

Had lunch in Pine Valley admiring the impressive Sibebe Rock. It's one of southern Africa’s most impressive geological features. This immense, three-billion-year-old volcanic slab, which rises to 1,488m and covers some 16,500ha, is the world’s largest granite dome.

World Press Photo of the Year 2025 by Palestinian photographer Samar Abu Elouf of 9 yr old Mahmoud Ajjour.
"This is a quiet photo that speaks loudly," said Joumana El Zein Khoury of World Press Photo
"It tells the story of one boy, but also of a wider war that will have an impact for generations."
