I hate photos

I hate photos, but a girl's gotta do...ya ya.

This is the lovely origami vest!

(Guys to follow shortly.)

Correspondence

So on Saturday Hide and Sheep officially began its ability to be posted!

Now. Wherever you are, you can get a shirt- isn't that nice? Add R30 onto the R150 for a shirt and I will get it to you within "three working days", although you can never be sure on postal timing- it might take four!

More correspondence...I'm home in Plett and far from my exhibition at Royale, which I'm supposed to be putting up in a week! Luckily I have amazing people in my life who are helping me out. So Janelle, my wonderful photographer friend, is hanging the exhibition for me.

This is the last piece to the photos, something that links Hide and Sheep and Jessie Scheepers' art. This is in Plett, and has to travel to Cape Town with more good friends to end up at Royale Eatery.

It's my mum's old printer's tray, with Hide and Sheep's logo cut out and stuck in.

I love it (and don't want to lend it to Royale's walls when it looks so good on mine at home!).

Goodnight!

The what is mightier than the what?

The Protection of Information Bill.

Yes.  It’s what everyone’s talking about. 

Fuming about. 

Freaking out about.

It’s a huge deal.

But I’m not one to tell the Facebook and blog world what I think about it.

Instead... I’ve twisted this idiom- give it a think.

And here’s some bad advice- the Bill is being taken to the National Council of Provinces and so is not in place yet, so if you know of some corrupt bad guys, now’s the time to rat them out, with the happy pleasure of not being sent to jail for 25 years.

Snoop nicely, Dogs.

Ps. For those of you who are just very nice people but don’t have a clue what I’m talking about, here’s all you need to know about:

1. Stopping the new Bill: http://www.r2k.org.za/

2. The idiom I’ve spoofed: “the pen is mightier than the sword”.

Cloud Cover

Clouds are cool.

Fluffy..but not.

Soft..but not.

Bed-like...but not.

I like it how people think of clouds as things that they're not.

Here's another example of how people can get clouds wrong.

Bird's eye

Happy holidays!

I hope you play lots of Sudoku, Scrabble and other intellectual mind games.

This isn't intellectual. But it is a stab at mind-gamesness.

Enjoy it (and them).

Bird-thday

Happy bird-thday Cynthia (for Monday!)

Framing.

Frames- you know, those things your mum puts your art in when you're little and then hangs in your house? Well them, they aren't cheap.

I've been smashing piggy banks everywhere to buy material, and to pay for printing, and production, and postage and all things shirty.

So really, frames are not exactly in my student budget.

THANK GOODNESS FOR BIRTHDAYS.

I pretty much exchanged and redeemed every present from my loving family until I had scraped enough money together for these lovely frames. 

Here they are.

Don't forget to go to the Royale Eatery between 4 December- 4 Feb to check them out!

Rock the paper, scissors!

My dad got me six new pens yesterday. They're amazing pens, but not very good for my exam on Monday...anyway.

So obviously I've had to test them out. And out. And out.

I've been touching up and tweaking here and there and everywhere.

My latest tweak?

The idea of Rock. Paper. Scissors.

I love that game. I love the concept. I made an ok design for it. Now I have an awesome design for it.

I'm happy. Are you?

I'm doing the before and after thing. 

It's just so much more dramatic...

ORIGINAL IDEA

MORE ORIGINAL THAN ORIGINAL IDEA

High five!

We aren't cool. Elle and One Dog Chicken are.

We want to send a big "WE LOVE YOU!" out to ELLE and One Dog Chicken.


Both of them did lovely features about Hide and Sheep today. ELLE's thinks I'm a guy, but really...what is gender when a feature is concerned?! So I suppose they took the humorous angle. Thanks ELLE! (http://www.elle.co.za/hide-sheep/)

One Dog Chicken understood us a bit better, and didn't confuse my sex, which always helps. (http://onedogchicken.com/2011/11/hide-and-sheep/)
They have a Doodle tab- and artists do doodles of their interpretation of the name "One Dog Chicken".
So I did one to thank them (ELLE didn't have a Doodle tab, so they're just riding on One Dog Chicken's doodle.)

Thanks guys!

Birds of a Feather.

Dear my friends

I've said goodbye to you all.

And I already miss you. And I will miss you for the 78 days until I come to Durban. I don't know how else to say you're absolutely amazing, so here it is- the things we never say to each other: 

You guys rock.

Have a terrific holiday. And nail these last exams.

How many birds can you count in this bird?

Totempole

Totempole.

Our next style shirt is THE VEST!

Girls love them, guys love them. And most of all, summer loves them.

So I'm thinking simple drawings, like this one maybe?

Or maybe the origami.

What do you think?

Out with the old and in with the new?

This is the old.

This is the new.

(Please don't kill me for the incredibly weak rhyming)....

Which one's for you?

Vote on Facebook for your favourite one!

And on a old-vs-new note, it's interesting that old is in. We went on a day adventure the other day- and there's this really cool photo from it. Now we've been having a bit of a duel-off to see who can make it look the most authentic vintage out there. What do you think?

The original.

The green.

 The pink.

The sepia.

 The contrasts.
