The local thing ive somehow managed to get right is ive somehow unknowingly got myself banned from a local design forum. This is very, very good if i want to hold true to this HCB story. I have no idea why i was banned, because one can say alot about me, my work , my green veldskoens, my colour, my creative ability. But one has to admit the portfolio of design evidence, like it or not, merited or vrot. Is vastly available warts and all for crit. Now im in no way implying im even close to the league of the chap in the story. He was a professional mudic maker. However as a design creative im under absolute no illusion that the end destination for most of us creatives is exactly the same.
Im most bemused by the local SA design forum thats banned me from uploading my work. I did cheekily send an email asking what i did to warrant such an unequivocal strict Siberian type reaction. As i want to at least do it again, knowingly this time. I never did receive an answer unfortunately. So somehow ive lost cred with certain SA's controlling design elitists. What i have noticed is this design forum has tons of product pushers on it. However they hoof off a person that does what there very name implies. "Designs." Oh well - Today im wearing my green Veldskoen, Doc Martins - Just to smile a little whilst i go about my important business. cop a snoek at all those artistic issues perceived or real we design artists have to deal with everyday.
I felt sitting on my Barfly designed chairs, on Piet Pompies stoep or voorksmer drinking brandewyn would ease my design bruised ego. Turns out no such thing. Ego has no place in design and Piets ma se jol, ekse. Pull up s barfly and join me?
