Hey everybody. With Heads of State ducking out before completion of their tenure and similar such behaviour, we have decided to go against the grain and take LONGER with what we need to do. This is naturally not by choice, but that's how it's gonna be, I'm afraid.
What I am dancing around is the fact that the inaugural group show in which I will be participating at Salon 91 Contemporary Art Collection in Kloof str(CT) will be held back. A bit.
Basically shows have been shuffled around, thus another show will technically launch the gallery with the group show to follow. After this it will be MY turn for a solo exhibition if I don't succumb to fatigue in the meantime.
I began work in ernest(horrible, unintended pun)on saturday September 20th blocking six paintings and I have just bought another trunkful of canvas with more to come in a weeks' time, so things will get rough, but hopefully the result will be worth it and i wil be alive to see it.
I'll hassle all you good folk closer to the relevant dates.
In the meantime take care and give 'em hell as best you can.
If you have any further queries, you can get hold of me through the site,
www.FLY-DUTCH.com and the gallery site here: www.salon91art.co.za
See y'all later!

Those are the breaks.
Ahoy there.
I just got word that my work is going up on Juxtapoz's reader art
section tomorrow, so check it out at www.juxtapoz.com
They post a new artist's work every day, so it'll trickle down the
ranks as time passes.
Two seperate things happening is that I'm going to be showing a little
something on friday night(12 sept) at the Klein Libertas in
Stellenbosch during Ms Beckmann's show, so anyone interested in some
great music and hopefully a not-too-disastrous bit of visual art,
please come check it out (BOOKING ESSENTIAL 021 8838164). I'm
currently busting my ass on it, so don't believe my hype, cos I have
none. But going to be another brilliant show, knowing her.
Secondly is the opening of Salon 91 Contemporary Art Collection in
Kloof Street later this month, it's opposite Arnold's, so all you
souls in town should check it out during the routine hangover
breakfasts I know you're prone to. The date is not locked yet, but
I'll be sure to let you know when i have it verified, wicked locale
too.
Right, for now i'll leave you guys in peace, seeing as i have a big
sheet with very little ink on it in front of me and it needs to get
covered, so i'll get to it.
Take care of yourselves wherever you are and whatever you're up to.
And remember to click the link!

Inching forward
I have just finished two significant paintings for the inaugural exhibition at Salon 91 contemporary art collection in Cape Town. That however, me being me, does not mean a cessation of hositlities between myself and The Work, but rather an opportunity for renewed effort as I begin working on several new tasks and continue a number of other hefty ones. The details of what these sets entail may be disclosed a bit later, but i'm not one to ruin a work in its infancy with unneccesary hype, so do excuse me for being so cagey.
A cover for Something Wicked Magazine is also in development, which will be a surprise for all, myself included, no doubt.
Dates for the upcoming exhibitions should be confirmed shortly, which generally means the shit will strike the proverbial fan in terms of getting a LOT done in an very limited timeframe, but we love a little pressure, eat it for breakfast.
I'll shut up and get on with it now, but more information will be forthcoming.
Take care.

A Difficult Birth
Well, I have taken it upon myself to purge the existing content of this blog in order to launch it as a clean slate parallel to the site which is now up and running (kinda sorta) at www.fly-dutch.com for those who weren't directed here form there.
I'll post whatever news and rant might be relevant to my line of work and train of thought, although the rambling will hopefully be kept to a minimum. I make no promises.
It's been a hard slog getting here, but things are now in place and hopefully will move forward at a steady pace from here. I also hope for the sake of information that I do my job in keeping this stream current and up-to-date.
I will certainly try.
Welcome, take care and bear with me. Comments are most welcome.
