One in English and the other in Afrikaans. <BR/><BR/>Stevie, the detail in Alex's work is amazing. As you say, the more you look the more you see.<BR/><BR/>Lynne, they make me feel very connected to my country.<BR/><BR/>Embellisher, wait for Alex's etsy shop to open and check it out.<BR/><BR/>Gwen, glad you enjoyed the peek :-)<BR/><BR/>Laura, I can imagine how these sketches would make you homesick. They are so typical of this country. Mrs, Balls Chutney, Lucky Star Pilchards, Ouma Rusks, Guinea Fowl, veldskoens....the list goes on. Thanks so much for your kind words.<BR/><BR/>Grrl, yes me too.....which is why I enjoyed your illustrations when I first discovered your blog.<BR/><BR/>Alex, I'm sure your exhibition will be a huge success. Wish I could be there.<BR/><BR/>B&W, glad you like them. <BR/><BR/>Hens Teeth, wonderful indeed!<BR/><BR/>Shayla, and so acurate!<BR/><BR/>Heather, one of the pages had your penguin and table mountain on it but I didn't want to include all the pages here since the magazine has only just come out and it would spoil the surprise for any South Africans reading my blog.....otherwise I was ready to post every detail!<BR/><BR/>Queeny, so glad you like them!<BR/><BR/>June, they are so amusing aren't they?
