Because i like creating characters and breathing life into ideas and concepts that don't exist - I've decided to create 2 new characters - I have 2 busts that provide immense entertainment for me in my household - Pinchnose Quintus Maximus and Winsome Kerkopjie. These 2 non talking heads get dressed up and tarted up daily. The pencil in the ear is a new addition for the pair. as i have been known to wear a pencil in my ear - i get asked continuously if i am a carpenter or why the pencil? - Well other folk wear earrings, have tats, butcher body parts off - i wear a pencil. I've been wearing this fashion accessory for several years now and often only realise its there when i put my head on the pillow in the evening. A type of subliminal ode to the arts attachment.
Winsome kerkopjie like the man he was fashioned to look like - is a character or blog that i will start populating which involves creative quotes. My favourite quip from old Winsome is below.
