Uh, Yeah, man. Just on last week's episode. Um, I was flying solo last week, um, and if you remember correctly, um, there was a bit of a scheduling nightmare. The poets I was going to feature feature had all.[00:00:31] Yeah. It was a bit of a scheduling thing is I couldn't get hold of them on time. So just to recap what I spoke about last week, I told you guys about the action research project that I'm working on. I will still do an episode on that probably towards the end of the year, because as we know the recording of this episode, the 29th of[00:00:48] June, you know, we had another hard lockdown, so everything is postponed or put back. So it really makes it really difficult to do a follow up on that side. I don't even know when I'll be able to do that, but, um, I'll be keeping guys up to speed on my social media pages and all of that. So yeah, moving on to today's episode today[00:01:03] we are gonna make another episode on with a, with an artist based in Kimberley. Um, she's a photo or her technique is very reminiscent of photo realism. And she also works with, uh, surrealism themes. So when a matter of unpacking, um, getting arts, um, we're going to be unpacking processes when I went back in how she works, how she conceptualizes the work and a little bit about art, because as you know, I'm based in Kimberly or other from ya, and I've been based in it for since COVID.[00:01:35] So it's really cool to meet creators from, from, from Kimberley. And this will also be a live recording. In other words, we're not using zoom today. So she's sitting with me in the studio today. So that's just going to be. Actually I'm looking forward to that. Um, so yeah, we were unpacking all of that. Um, remember my art giveaway is still up for grabs, uh, like, subscribe and comment.[00:01:54] On this episode, you could have an artwork done by yours truly. Remember. Um, I forgot to mention last week that the art giveaway is only available for artists in South Africa, because I just can’t afford to send art abroad, uh, coming from my own pocket. Um, so yeah, just remember like subscribe and comment on this episode, you can win artwork done by yours truly.[00:02:13] And, um, I'll tell you, I'll speak to guys at the end of the episode about future episodes. We've got some really cool things coming up. Um, some really cool, exciting guests coming up and I'll explain that to you guys. You know this at the end of the episode.
