My sister is an artist

CLICK ON IMAGES TO ENLARGE (that way you get all the watercolour detail)

My little sister Nina lives in LA. With her technically gifted hands she does etchings and commissions for buyers as well as assisting other artists. Nina also produces her own work in her trademark naive style and meticulous attention to detail. These two pieces are watercolours she did for friends and lovers.

Nina is an actress and a writer too, and we are brewing a project together to culminate into final product in November this year. Will post on progress.

RVCA launches Artist Network Program ANP

RVCA is finally launching their Artist Network Program in South Africa. This is a noble cause - unlike most lifestyle brands that use 'artist' culture as a springboard for marketing, RVCA has a longstanding initiative called the ANP that supports, develops and enables creative souls to keep doing what they do best, without having to sell out or compromise on integrity. The ANP aims to give back by providing a voice for the creative growth of the artists and musicians it represents.

If you can make it (and onto the guest list), check out this event at the Labia in Cape Town on the 17th of May. Artists represented by RVCA's ANP are Taxi Violence, Haasbroek, Jade Klara and Senyol.
