I hate Hermann Niebuhr. It's late afternoon – magic hour – in the Klein Karoo, a fertile valley in South Africa's Groot Karoo desert, and I'm sipping a sweet muscatel on the veranda of Boesmanskop farm guesthouse cursing my old university friend.

School Mural Project

Crown Mines Primary is a school near my studio.  I helped them paint a mural on their wall, getting the children to chalk outlines of each other and then paint them in.  The project took about three days and really changed the character of the building's facade.
