SO THIS IS THIRTY...

| |
Having recently turned 30 I have been putting some thought into what that means to me. 
Here is the good, the bad and the ugly of my life at 30.

30, Thirty, Turning 30, Turning Thirty, Being 30, Being Thirty, Life at 30, Life at Thirty, Peter John Hattingh

I can now condescendingly address people in their twenties and younger as "You Kids" and   "The Youth of Today".

I finally get to start using the phrase "I'm too old for this shit".

Hangovers now last three days if they don't kill you.

Indigestion is no longer just something you hear about on a Gaviscon advert.

All my favourite music now makes up the top ten on Classic FM.

I have friends who are divorced.

Friendships that are 20+ years old.

The clothes from my twenties now make me look like you I'm trying too hard.

I prioritize the things that truly matter to me.

All my favourite foods are now REALLY bad for me.

I own property.

I’m no longer afraid of making mistakes.

I live in the present, try to learn from the past and let the future take care of itself.

I no longer feel the need to compete with everyone else around me and have set my own measures for success.

My job is now a career.

I spend less time explaining myself.

I spend more time being myself.

I’m learning to stop acting like everything is fine if it isn’t.

Being accountable and taking responsibly.

Grey hairs are appearing. Seriously, I’m 30. This is bullshit.

It could be worse. I could be 40.

People take me more seriously. I like that.

Stop trying to be everything to everyone.

Everything cool is being marketed to people younger than me now.

It’s called "The Dirty Thirties". That’s a plus.

Not everyone is going to like me. Tough.

Honesty is profoundly important.

I’m still trying to figure it all out.

I still use the phrase "When I grow up".

30 feels no different to 20.

EMPIRE OF THE SUN - ICE ON THE DUNE

| |
Empire of the Sun, Ice on the Dune, Luke Steele, Nick Littlemore It’s been five years since Australian electro-dance duo Luke Steele and Nick Littlemore of Empire of the Sun released their debut album ‘Walking on a Dream’ and at long last the sequel to that masterpiece has arrived.
‘Ice on the Dune’ is the follow-up album that has recently been released, and as expected, it delivers all the goods. Although the album bares their distinct brand of feel good funk and is comfortingly familiar, it does have a fresher more mature sound to it and the production values are fantastic!




The first single from the album is entitled ‘Alive’ and I can sum the track up in one word. Anthem. ‘Ice on the Dune’ debuted at number 20 on the Billboard 200 chart this week. I suggest you get yourself a copy.

THE WHEEL HOUSE

| |
The Wheel House is a live street performance by two acrobatic entertainers who move a circular stage around public spaces entertaining audiences with their highly technical and masterfully skilled performances.

The interior of the wheel is designed to look like a house, with doors, windows, curtains and a small kitchen. The characters, dressed as hobos, carry out daily household tasks whilst moving the wheel along a road to nowhere. The performance is scored by the creaking wheel and accompanied by an audio soundtrack.

The Wheel House Street Theatre

 Produced by the Acrojou Circus Theatre in 2006 The Wheel House is an ingenious piece of street theatre and something I would love to see live! Thus far it has been performed before over 60,000 people in nine countries.


The Wheel House Street Theatre
Acrojou Circus Theatre describes the piece as, "Theatrical acrobatics, comedy, and breathtaking moments of risk, all housed within an exquisite, hand-built structure."

CANVAS CITY: DANE STOPS

| |
Dane Stops is a Durban Street Art heavyweight and (in my humble opinion) the best 3D artist in the city.  

His use of light and shadow skillfully accentuate perspective and the relationship between the 2D surface and 3D representation. Dane is fascinated by ‘realistic’ representations of form using various objects to take the form of letters. My favorite of these being his octopi G letters which are simply mind blowing!

Dane Stops, Street Art

His influences include Stefan Sagmeister, How & Nosm, Ces, Daim, FX crew, Esk and Phek.

In 2012 Dane took top honors in a Sprite competition which saw him win a trip to America which heightened his profile.

You can connect with Dane via his blog or on Twitter and if you would like to commission a piece you can email him directly.
