I tried.
Its more hula and less belly dance though.

Class of 2020
It would be sad to see these endangered animals gone- the year book idea is a bit random.
When I lived in East Africa (Uganda) we witnessed a cheetah hunting on a trip to Serengeti (Tanzania), thanks to a local park ranger who guided us.
It was great and so exciting, seeing 3 cheetahs run (barely visible, they are so fast). After a couple of minutes they took their prey to a tree in the distance.
Unfortunately, we weren't the only spectators. As the cats settled to eat, and 6 large vehicles crammed with tourists and flashing cameras drove over to where the cheetahs were and circled them. The park ranger was not happy.
We drove towards the cars so the ranger could tell the drivers to give the cheetahs space but her protests were ignored by them. People were happily snapping on using flash photography.
Being surrounded by big cars at such close proximity, you could see how unsettled the cheetahs were.Keep in mind cheetahs rarely get a successful hunt and are shy.
So after barely eating, they left leaving most the carcass to the vultures.
Its so annoying when people infringe on wild animals for no credible reason.But it was incredible having seen the cheetahs hunt. Pity the other cars failed to give them the distance they needed.

Gilbert
So many exciting projects I want to work on this summer.
Meet Gilbert:
He's a perfectionist,
very much like me but he takes himself too seriously.
So inspired by the summer shows and fairs. I want to start screen printing again, maybe I'll use his story.

Saturday at Artsmart
I was pleasantly surprised with the whole event because there was a craft market with stalls selling creative handmade work.
Being an admirer of crafty people I made time to visit the stalls.
These will be added to the 'Fan of' list;
Tamara Walsh, a hat and wig artist who had made her headbands from vinyl and Miriam Robertson Millinery who makes deliciously gorgeous hats.
Had a chance to chat to The Zombie Collective, whose illustrations amazed me. On top of that they were very nice people. They are Kingston graduates who seem to enjoy what they do. I purchased my first print from them:

I'm so excited by this print- can't wait to hang this in my new place.
And here is the artists website.
We attended talks by industry insiders, then went to RCA for to see the Summer show.
Just have to mention Soyoung Hyun's animation because I loved it.
I've got plenty of love.
