Matte, semi-gloss, gloss or metallic ? 

A4, A3 or 12x16? 

Border or no border? 

These are the questions I’ve had to find answers to these past weeks. And as I drove from branch to branch without getting the exact product I wanted, and feeling ho-hum about the prints I walked home with, it became apparent that I had more work to do.

Why am I doing all this research about prints? It's not only because I've been watching a lot of Fro Knows Photo videos, especially the one on large photographic prints but also because of the 6th Emalyth Arts Expo which takes place from the 31st of January to the 2nd of February 2014 at Wolmer Bush Lounge in Pretoria. The theme is "Unleash the Beast". I'm very excited about the Expo and super stoked to be one of the exhibitors.

The expo will feature 25 metal and progressive bands from South Africa and Botswana. There will be an exhibition of Fine and Print art as well as stalls selling a wide variety of band merchandise and the best in alternative clothing and accessories. This weekend will also feature a wide variety of entertainment such as a sword fighting tournament.

Hello New Year

"A daydreamers nightmare is to never even try"- '11am (daydreamer)' by 10 Years 

This has been a week where most people have been getting back into the groove of things and daily routines after the Chistmas holiday, Summer break, braais, late nights and hopefully lots of rest. It has also been a period of reflection and intension and I'm ready to get the show on the road, so to speak.

Doing something new, pursuing a new venture or getting out of one's comfort zone is a little scary but very exciting. Sure, there are no guarantees that things will go 100% according to plan, but very few things ever do, and its those imperfect moments that we truly learn and grow. 

This is a little message board I made (actually I just gave directions and my brother in law did the work/painting) where I and whoever feels like can write positive messages. 

This is the current message. 

Thanks it for now, thanks for reading and wishing you great personal adventures this year.
