Right, so, I think it's been almost a year since my last entry. So as you can see I haven't managed to have much time for art nowadays, but I guess some does come out once in a while. Anyway, I'll keep adding whatever I do, as always, so enjoy!

Hey! So, engineering, as it turns out, *is* a rather large amount of work! I'm actually sitting here now *NOT* doing my design project which is due in 10 days (not to mention all the other work I have on my plate), which is a pleasant change. Really it's my fault for taking a break during the short holiday we just had >_< Anyway, it doesn't look like I'm going to have much more time for art unfortunately, but, as always, I'll put up what little I do :P But, it's time for me to return to the sweet smell of solder (and tea/coffee) again. Hope all goes well!

So, a great start to the year! This year is supposed to be my lucky year so I hope it turns out better than the last. Anyway, it seems I've slowly been doing less and less art, which sadly may continue for a while. I'm starting my first year of mechatronics, so hopefully, some time soon, I'll be able to start doing some kinetic sculptures and whatnot! Unfortunately, I'm told I will first drown in maths and other engineering work, but I'll put up stuff I do end up finishing! Hope you lot have a happy 2010 and the soccer world cup turns out all right!

I've entered the pure imagination competition on springleap and voting is finally underway!! The due dates were extended by about two months, but it has finally started. All that's left now is to get enough votes, which is where you come in! You can go and vote for the design you like best and the design with the most votes wins! My design can be found at High Flyer Any and all support is appreciated. Go on, get involved :)

We are facing a new anti-graffiti by-law in cape town which takes away the house owners rights to give permission for any artworks on their walls besides a house number. The new, proposed graffiti by-law makes no distinction between vandalism and public art that is done with the permission of the owner of the property. Please can you assist us in our efforts to amend this by-law by signing the petition and forwarding it on as we need to present it to the council during the public participation process. thank you, here is the link and below are the details of the two points in the by-law that we would like to amend. http://www.petitiononline.
