Happy Hump Day! :-)
I think besides poetry and fashion, what I love most is art... Paintings, drawings... Take me to an art gallery and watch me get goosebumps while staring at different pieces.
I count myself very lucky to have a friend who is an amazingly talented artist, his art is so... Awesome is an understatement. Eli seriously deserves to be recognized and celebrated as one Kenya's best artists.
I heart this piece created by him, it goes by the name "Afro-red-eyed-beauty"
