Martin Bester - "Net 'n Bietjie Asseblief" ("Just a little bit please") - Friday 13 September 2024

 A baby was born in Bethal, Oos-Transvaal (now Mpumalanga province) under the stars to become one. A young boy grew up in Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape and studied at the Nelson Mandela University the science of psychology and the language of our President, Mr. Mandela (Madiba) isiXhosa.

 He was only in his first year when he started with radio, never knowing that he would be one of the greatest radio presenters at one of the largest radio stations, Jacaranda FM. The good man we listen to every morning is Martin Bester.

In The Mornings

Sometimes I do not sleep
Sometimes I fall a sleep
But sometimes I am a wake
and the sound of darkness mingle in my mind 

How will you wake me up every morning?
when I am down
lost without you
my little love for you

Just a little bit please...

What is a Drone Chicken?

What is a Drone Chicken? - Pieter Lategan (11 September 2024)

Part of marketing is to do something different and to be unique. The social media platforms are taking over the TV industry. Large companies compete with small entrepreneurs working from their rooms. The competition swiftly transitions to the guy who starts his own business, making it possible for him to grow into a big business after a few years.

It is now known that the internet is the global advertising platform, and it is still growing and overtaking television marketing. Smartphones have changed everything because they are affordable and easily accessible.

Attention is what people need to advertise themselves, which is why they need to be different. This is also the reason why social media influencers become famous.

Ancient Greeks drew in their brows to connect them. Unibrows were seen as beautiful and were worn by intelligent and lusted-after women.

Causes of a  Unibrow:

I did a bit of research on unibrows, also called synophrys in medicine, and it is about your DNA. It is commonly found in men specifically with the gene dubbed PAX3.

Dancing in the Mud - "The Mud Song"

 

TikTok - VybzEntertainer

I found this video on TikTok this morning, which I find very creative. I think this artist made a very good statement with the dress dancing in mud. I wonder what the meaning of this video clip he made will be.

This is the second time that I got a commission assignment

I just finished my second year and had to leave my studies, and I was without work in 1995. There was a lady who asked me to do two black ladies for her. I did it on a canvas, the size was 2m (h) and 1.8m (w). I did that with powder paint because that was the only media I really knew and could afford. If I remember correctly, I asked for the paint, something like R400. That was the last time that I got an assignment to do a work. That painting, I can't really remember who I did it for, I think I must have used a picture and done it from a picture.

On Sunday the 1st of September, a friend of ours and his girlfriend came to visit. They asked me to do a portrait of them, and I liked the lady's feet, and she said I can draw that for her. They also asked for an oil painting, which I am not sure if they really wanted. I am very excited to do the portrait, especially the oil painting. I did a lot of pencil sketches which I kept as part of my recordings.
