6:42 pm
a people. and now that we are here, i feel like looking at how we are, it's really important the challenges the world feels in regards to masculinity is an issue that is caused by us men and we should be there solution to that. not the people that are affected by our ways. that's where i am with my work at the moment. just this move so fluidly did 3 mediums that he has become a very 4th off the creative in south africa, especially in the advertising space. my primary career is filmmaking for my film director. i love it so much because it's the one medium that's able to bring all my disciplines into one. and i can create feeling and move beyond just

6:45 pm
a plate so that we can get an image. how do you select what colors to use? because i see already have your color selection. as i was saying before with, as i was saying before, the, when you make an image, it depends on your concept as an artist. so you have to know what message you are telling the following the audience. the people are your idea. so your color has to present the message that you want to convey. so it becomes easier for the audience to connect with the art on of to me. art ok, great. so i would assume that you've already created the art because you said you draw 1st before you actually start painting our correct. so this is the, the plate that to use aluminum. and so this one is the draw on top of the sleep. first, now it's gonna be playing when you buy it, he plays not. oh, so this is an entire drawing that you made. yes. so that's amazing. so you draw 1st
