Eers was daar Honey Ryder. Plenty O'Toole. Pussy Galore. En nou Dolla. Dowwe Dolla. 007. Sy drink haar martini geskud, nie gepluk nie, dankie. Sy moet die wêreld red. Alweer. Want Jurie lyk daagliks meer soos 'n robbie(s). En Julius Malema, sê ma' vi' sy grêmma, Julius wil 'n Mercedes hê. En arme Kaster praat so diep want daar's 'n brulpadda in haar keel. Maar Dolla vra: hoeveel is brul en hoeveel is padda? Kom vind uit. Dowwe Dolla 007: license to tril!

Joshua Miles, one of South Africa’s most talented upcoming printmakers will be showing his latest work at The SA Print Gallery from this Saturday @ 10am. Joshua combines the best of traditional Japanese woodblock printing with his divine and contemporary world between Cape Town and Baardskeerdersbos, where he works and gardens. Following on the growing art movement, Josh was one of the real pioneers to exodus out of Cape Town to contribute to a beautiful arts community based in and around Baardskeerdersbos in the late 90’s to pursue the making of art uninterrupted by urban noise and materialist distraction. Josh's show can also be viewed at www.printgallery.co.za Show runs until mid January 2012
