Drawing and photography are central to my practice. Both make pressing - if sometimes fictitious - claims to the capture of lost moments.

Penguins on the beach
I'm still engaged in the endless and boring task of scanning in drawings, which I suppose is a good thing, since I haven't had time to make any drawings over the past week or so.

Same view, different times
Well, same-ish view, Kommetjie beach from a particular bench on the boardwalk for the last three, and actually on the beach in the first spread. I've always loved the almost-repetition of the almost-the-same. It's the underlying minimalism of my not very minimalist work...

Chilling, I think they call it.
Still scanning sketchbooks from South Africa. The scanning of double page spreads of this square sketchbook involves scanning each page separately and then seaming them together on Photoshop - takes rather longer than the zippy face-down-scan-and-blog approach you can take with Moleskines or A4 spiral-bound pads that fit perfectly onto the scanner!

Landscape: Kommetjie
At this rate it will take me a month to scan in the sketchbook drawings I made in South Africa, but never mind!

Christmas band
It was wonderful arriving in Kommetjie, near Cape Town, on Christmas day, and being welcomed by a street band. Fabulous bands performing in the streets on Christmas day constitute a traditional custom for the so-called Cape coloureds, descendents of Malay and other slave labourers imported into the Cape by Dutch settlers in the seventeenth century. Afrikaans speaking, they are a significant, if not predominant, population group in the Western Cape today. I included a photograph of the beautiful girls marching ahead of the band under the Maverick photograph here.

Snug
I know it's not a very manly look, but Kato was shivering for a while. Note: that was at home - he doesn't go into the outside world as Cardy Man - there, he is feral beast (or a bit of a lad, actually)!
