Joburg on the news today in England, and a toy machine gun

fitting a boomslang drawing onto one page

and the side ways writing on the last page is being written here too, it says 'i still dont see how a boomslang can fit into a weaver nest. (I drew the picture before the writing, else i might have drawn a weaver nest with a snake in it)' so i only found out about the snake stuff afterwards, but it is interresting how sometimes new things match old things somehow even if that wasnt the plan. its like they get found but its still all mixed up so that is not a factual sentence as such. and i havent actually said what matches anyway.

the made up story of inside and outside the wooden carving

here i tried to add a little hope to the story, in the very last line, well two lines.
i'm not sure where the notion of wooden carvings comes from, but it could be from the carvings you can buy on the side of the road in south africa, or around hartebeespoort dam. it is a very specific specific feeling to see those carvings (over the years too) you also get a lot of carved masks (which are actually a type of replica)

the tumble weed again

this picture is boring as well, it has the same elements as before there is nothing really new, blood, daisy petals, coal, black, scribling and not much space. the movement bit is the tumbleweed in the karoo and thats not a new concept here and its just there because its better to not let the drawings be too extremely still.
What is the good thing in the drawing then hey? (pretending this is a comic in like an authodontists waiting room or something)
the circle is the good thing, because that seems less hard core than say a square or a rectangle so its easier to sleep. also the daisy petals are quite nice because they are still relatively alive which is probably also good, in its own way.

the discovery of coloured walls, and other things..

The Trees in the paper forest (before the red, which is the next picture after this one and following that is the scarf one)

a picture of the place in the charcoal sky

and i dont really run in the mornings much because its too much of a rush and its important to read books in the morning as protection

about the johannesburg swimming pool in the 70s and the early 80s
