Early results of my forays into papiere mache

mache-man

No offence, the captions are just me talking to myself. I love this shit! First you build an armature out of junk (the skull is made from an old light bulb) then you take some flour and a pot of water, rip up a pile of old newspapers (the final clay coating is a fine toilet paper pulp mix) mash the whole damn lot up and hey presto! You got Marwinsing sitting on a trunk of treasures with fag in hand (ja, my confession: I started smoking the Drum again these Xmas hols) pointing out yonder towards the Abyss of No Return... but it's all fun 'n games now innit children? "Y'nah??" (as a recent ex would say, second question mark my add - as I normally couldn't fathom out what the hell what she was going on about anyway) and so the story unfolds...

Meanwhile back at the ranch:

What’s Julius Malema been up to lately?

"Domestic workers get raped in the bedrooms of the baas & the madam. They're silent because they'll loose their job."

"Mandela said letters to the Queen doesn't help. Take up the weapon. Ideas Is not gonna bring economic freedom."

"We don't want to drive whites into the sea. In 10 years we want white domestic workers." 

And his buddy Rev. Kemo Waters?

"It's sad that the only time a black man is taken seriously is when he calls for blood... Racism isn't important till the victim gets mad"

"The only way to end racism is to kill a material number of whites."

So this is how we kick our New Year off Whitey? TKB. Come. I’m waiting.

This little sculpture, my first paper mache piece, will be left unpainted. As is. Whatcha say?
