A calender of landscape shots from around South Africa.
2010 SOL•SKETCHES™ CALENDAR ___ ARTIST IN-BRIEF “Art should not be spoon fed to consumers,” yet s.dot.slaughter (Sol•Sketches™ Owner & Visual Artist) admits one of his artistic objectives is “to force the viewer into comment and appreciation first – allowing them to fall in love with my artwork, purchase my work, and use them as centerpieces of discussion in their homes.” Visual Artist and Owner of SOL•SKETCHES™ Dubbed the “Spike Lee of Contemporary Art” by fellow artist and collectors, S.DOT’s work has been widely exhibited in both national and international venues. His artwork uses vibrant colors and symbolism to articulate his fascination with urban culture, politics and hip-hop. All Artwork Copyright © ssjr 2007-2010.
Being an artist allows me to experiment in different styles. From abstract to impressionistic, from rennaissance to realistic, from naive to contemporary….. But it is impossible to completely hide my recognisable style when the artwork is finished. You will find it in the eyes of people & animals, and the bright colours I so love. In this calender I chose a variety of styles I’ve done so far. You decide which style is your favourite!
A collection of Big Cats
.... but a glimpse at the plethora of richness in Black History….
To spend an hour with Mountain Gorillas is one of the best wildlife experiences you can ever hope for. They captivate you with their eyes and you become lost in the moment.

a collection of African Lions wild and captive
These paintings were part of an exhibition at the Noosa Regional gallery, Sunshine Coast, Australia, titled ‘Africa – Face to Face’. / The exhibition combined my original paintings (30) with the very compelling photography of my friend Bob Nelson. Together and with the help of Noosa Rotary Sunrise, we raised $10,000 which was donated to The School of St Jude in Tanzania. My sincerest thanks and gratitude to everyone who was involved with this event.
Faces from here, there and beyond.
PLEASE JOIN ME ON A TRAIL OF THE: THE AFRICAN ELEPHANT – Loxodonta Africana / Location captured: “The Kruger National Park”, South Africa. / Elephants have a highly developed social structure and family units are led by a cow elephant or matriarch. The matriarch is, by natural selection, the most experienced member of the group and automatically assumes leadership. The composition of the herd varies and one will find bulls of various ages in attendance. A bull may be distinguished from a cow by its rounded forehead; the cow’s forehead is angular. Both have tusks. Bulls leave the family unit at puberty (10 -12 years) and, in many instances, are driven out by the older cows.
This calendar depicts African Wildlife in all its glory!
Calendar inspired by Rainbow Colours – Pilane Himself
AFRICAN SUNSETS – Mozambique MOZAMBIQUE – “Land of the Friendly people”, “Terra dos brandos costumes” – “The Easy Going Land”. Having lived there for eleven years, just after the 20 year war period, I confirm the above. / A beautiful country with beautiful and friendly people. / All the captures, in this calendar, was shot at “Ponta do Barra,” Inhambane Province, Mozambique. / As stunning as the sunsets, is a vacation at “Ponta do Barra”.

The beauty of South African weather is unquestioned.. Crystal clear days that arise out of fabulous sunrises and end on the trail of exquisite sunsets.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Osteospermum plants originate from South Africa and the name is derived from the Greek osteon (= bone) and Latin spermum (= seed). Osteospermums belong to the daisy family ( Compositae / Asteraceae), hence their common names: African Daisy or South African Daisy, Cape Daisy and Blue-eyed Daisy. There are about 50 species, native to Africa, 35 species in southern Africa, and southwestern Arabia. They are half-hardy perennials or subshrubs. Therefore they do not survive outdoor wintry conditions, but there is still a wide range of hardiness.
