Electric Planets and More...

This is the second of my 'backlogs' from 2006 and there is a lot left still!



















'Himba Woman' - For Sale - £40
This piece was inspired by the smile of the Himba Woman. The Himba live in Northern Namibia. They predominantly breed cattle and goats and lead a nomadic life. Clothes, hairstyle and jewelry are all of particular significance to the Himba. They traditionally cover their bodies from head to foot with butterfat tinted with ochre to protect their skin from the severe sun and desert climate.


















'3 Men in Hats' - For Sale - £40
A friend of mine from school once wrote to me in a letter to say that there are people that wear hats and those that don't. In this piece they are!

A stereotypical image of the mistress.
