The article that follows the picture

This is a very tragic story about gun violence in the UK. So many deaths that were unnecessarily. Too many young black people dying just because the gun was in the wrong hands, namely in the hands of hot-headed black youth. I strongly suggest everyone read the accompanying article.

Ousmane Sow Interviewed

It was really fantastic to meet and interview the famous Senegalese artist, Ousmane Sow in March 2008.
He was kind enough to meet with me and speak about his plans in Geneva and his future and past work.
For those of you who do not already know, O. Sow became a world renowned sculptor after the age of 50, which was when he began to sculpt. I have written an article about him which I hope will be published soon. Of course I will keep you all informed when it is up and available. Until then, happy reading.
