A week back I went on a gallery tour with a few friends. It’s one of those things we all agree is fun but we always struggle to find time for it. A sudden sushi craving cut our tour short so we only visited a few galleries. While the art in the galleries varied, the […]

I’m having one of those days where I’m not getting anything done. I’m listening to Alicia Keys, hoping that her music will help me to magically get some motivation. It might sound weird but some artists have that affect on me. This picture is from Alicia’s performance at this year’s Flow Festival. What a superwoman […]
