I have recently found and spent alot of time at I am the Nublack, it is the kind of blog mine should be if I were a little more organised. My one major gripe is, it has cost me money, I have since bought two things featured there a print and a T shirt.

Now this may have something to do with the fact that I was online quite late in the day, tired = easily persuaded to part with cash.

The print I absolutely adore, it reminded me immediately of signs outside an African barber shop, which is what inspired the artist Andrea Pippin. I also liked the colours allot, the green is the colour of my living room accent wall, painted because a friend declared my flat the color of mud! rude cow, I believe what she meant to say was my flat is neutral, brown, beiges, whites and black; I still love her.

The reason for my colour scheme is, I want to fill my walls with colourful prints .

Now this particular print ticks all boxes, stylish, colourful, quirky and best of all great value, I was going to say cheap, but there is nothing cheap about it.

I would love to say get yourself one, sorry sold out, they went on sale on November 16th! I just hope I get mine!!

Other prints are on sale at I Love My Hair.

Andrea is a graphic artist visit her blog FLY to see her skills. 

Have you ever gone to the barbers/salon, taken a picture and told your stylist, this is the style I would like today, I wonder what they would make of  this.

This is something I have always believed, and I am not talking beauty on the inside, I am talking aesthetics, facially, some people you have to look a little harder than others, some times you find it in fleeting expressions, other  times it is a permanent fixture.

I found Facity which confirms my theory in part, to me every one pictured has beauty captured in their portrait.

The project  welcomes everyone, but I wonder if everyone makes the grade. Most subjects seem to look about 22 years old. The project is currently in Berlin, they plan to extend to other cities, I will be first in line when it gets to London.

I am going to try to reproduce these shots on some of my friends it should be fun for an amateur photographer, yes I do have some hidden “talents”. OMG they are looking for photographers, okay I am not brave enough to try yet, but the great thing is they  have a pdf that shows how to create shots, wow and I have a 50mm lens, oh happy days. Just need to find a willing victim.

On a bum note, didn’t leave work till after 7.00 p.m. today, and I have germs in the form of a cough, I wanted to see the Anish Kapoor exhibition at the RAA which closes at 10.00 p.m. on Fridays, just managed to drag myself home in the pouring rain. I do not feel beautiful today, but I sure will tomorrow.

I am excited, lately I am not easily excited, I found an artist with prints for sale, for sale within my price range, okay, one downside, they are a bit smaller than I would like, I digress.

Dawn Okoro paints sisters, real sisters and other people too, her images evoke heat, maybe it is the intensity of the colours used, vibrant hues.

I chose these two images as they have two of my favorite things shoes and brown skin.

I am a person of a few words at the moment, so THE END.

p.s Dawn has t-shirts on her blog, she is as pretty as her pictures.
