Merci...

Hi guys...Today,I give gratitude.To all of you who care to flip through these pages and taken time to read this.Sometimes its so hard writing about yourself or trivial things around you.But I am just a young bird learning to fly,to catch my wind and eventually soar through to higher heights and learning the lines of this new song from my inner,true self. That is why we call it art and about! So we can go about and still appear put together. I personally can't stand being in one place for a long time or concentrate on a fixed project-I'd goo crazy!!!

The blog is ours,the space is all ours.And although I don't discuss comments on the pages,I make it an effort to reply all comments. Thank you to my growing number of interest- mates from U.S.A,Tanzania,Uganda,Norway,U.K,India and the world over-Namatse

Where u @?

Hi guys,I just had a not-so furious argument with one of my gals on who runs the show lately. And although we celebrated Naomi's big two five,there's very few sistahs of color who can say Amen to that! We continue to give her credit on the catwalks and all know she has created a brand with Naomi Campbell,even my baby sister says she wants to pose like Naomi Campbell for a family picture.

Ok.besides Iman,Liya Kabede,Naomi and Tyra Banks,do tell...are there any sisters out there who can stand their own?

I would love to believe that they are more than the platform for them allows(correct me if wrong) and all we have to do is stand up like Vogue Italy did justice and give our sistahs a big push!

Guys,what do you think?

You are so vain! singer looking so fine.I love the 70s ...and everything good about that,the culture and fashion that came along.

Art and About Loves the look!

YOU’RE SO VAIN
A parody

You walked into the party room
Like you were Director You walked into the party room

Like you were Director of KGB
Your gun strategically dipped below your coat
But your thoughts where all over me
You had one eye in the mirror
As you watched yourself report
And all us girls dreamed that we’d be your partner
your KGB partner, and

Chorus
You're so vain
You prob’ly think the KGB loves you
You're so vain
I bet you think they can’t do without you
Don't you? Don't you?

You had me several years ago
When I was still quite naive
Well, you said that I had such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved
And joined the KGB
I had some schemes to put drugs in your coffee

Drugs in your coffee ‘cause

Well, I hear you went up to St Petersburg
And your horse naturally won
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun
Well, you're where you should be all the time
And when you're not, you're with
Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend

Chorus
Wife of a close friend, and KGB
Your gun strategically r coat
But your thoughts where all over me
You had one eye in the mirror
As you watched yourself report
And all us girls dreamed that we’d be your partner
your KGB partner, andYou're so vain
You prob’ly think the KGB loves you
You're so vain
I bet you think they can’t do without you
Don't you? Don't you?

You had me several years ago
When I was still quite naive
Well, you said that I had such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved
And joined the KGB
I had some schemes to put drugs in your coffee

Drugs in your coffee ‘cause

Well, I hear you went up to St Petersburg
And your horse naturally won
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun
Well, you're where you should be all the time
And when you're not, you're with
Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend, and … etc

Hehe so vain but the phase was so in !

Perfecto!

The friest time I heard of Acne,well I thought this was one of the Million of fashion lines trying to blend all wierd art and tech to create something new...

Well,I have seen afew of this fashion house runway cuts and must admit this is it!

I love the color blends and designs from Acne..here is a little clip of the Acne evolution.

What influences you and how do you see yourself evolving in the future?

I think we are influenced by everyday life as much as high and pop culture. We are very interested in so many different fields of design, from classical graphic design to industrial design, fashion design and architecture. In my opinion this is something that makes us evolve. We have worked on typography, visual identities and patterns for the fashion industry, record covers, magazine design, as well as creating window decorations and set designs. The variation and challenge gives us new perspectives and keeps us lively; and in the best case allows us to find new ways of working and remain inspired.

Loving you even more!

The perfect tote!

This is soooo perfect.I like I like I like!

Zawadi Arts Introduces Art

I finally got back the Artistic muse and up for some printing and drawing.Most of the material I like to work with for cards is recycled paper.This makes beautiful cards,book covers,calendars and other interesting crafts.If you are in the Entebbe area,come to Zawadi Arts wellness center and have a look.You could also be interested in other services offered at the center say Yoga and Aromatherapy.The PanAroma restaurant at the center offers great traditional food too.

Ok.About this art-you simply have to love it.

Drop me a line on comments-I will sure get it and reply.

And this Tee shirts are worth having too...the line is called O-thentik and with the support of many other designers and artists,we will continue to promote and stand up for the Arts.

Into Your Confidence

This is an introduction into my written Affirmation journal called Into Your Confidence.
Due to slight changes at the printers,we delayed the overall sales but the launch was great and many people are being inspired by this. Be sure to get a copy when we hit the stands in a few days time.

Ok.I will tell you a wee bit about this Journal.It is in line with what I was questioning all day-What makes us complete???This journal will help you venture into certain areas that will lead to self discovery.Trivial things say,what makes a friend a friend....yet even great thinkers like Emerson have let us know plainly that to have a friend,you need to be one. So,its things like this that will uplift one's Spirit and guide us along the way.

Again,please get this journal for your mother,sister,wife,aunt.daughter....and for Boaz too!  




Into your confidence
I write in Praise of the capable lady. She is an ideal symbol of completion.
As I proceed, all I can do is visualize creating my realities, to
meet her capabilities.
With the right outlook towards what one wants, say staying focused,
determined and unshaken in any situation, discoveries of who you
really are will clearly emerge. The proverbs 31 lady’s actions say it
all.
How privileged we are to know that we can all grow and blossom
into such a woman with a mere shift in our perception and drive
towards our goals.
In this book, my source of inspiration is the lady, as emphasized by
King Solomon. She serves as the ideal.
We all have various goals in life we want to achieve to create a perfect
picture in the end. Yet through our imperfections we struggle to
create the perfect. Only through courage can we stand by our words
and watch them become our realities. And only through courage can
we identify with confidence.
May we all celebrate our confidence in all things created but mostly
in the creator of all, above all, in all, through all
With love and Peace,
Esi
