This image grew organically from the “Chiefs wife”. I was thinking of the regal aloof nature of the African queen, which I had drawn earlier and then I thought of the scary twighlight world of the Sangoma, or witchdoctor, in juxtapostion to this calmer world. Sort of like the yin/yang, good and evil aspects that co-exist within each of us.
You tell me.

father o father where do rainbows start? / well my little one, that there is an art! / rainbows are made by a magical thing / when we need rainbows we know who to ring! / rainbows are made from a magical cup / cool amber beer, drunk skulled and sup / and when the rain clouds leave oh what glee / out comes a rainbow in the gush of a pee .;.
This price of ink is a crime and when you open up your printer to find out who the culprit is for the strange coloured document or whinging printer utility your always looking at the four usual suspects, C, M, Y & K (aka black). In this design i have tried to give each of them a bit of character like the Usual Suspects movie cover. I’d like to acknowledge Big Fat Robot and his Tshirt design R,G and B. which is one of my favorite T’s and one of the inspirations for this T. So who do you suspect? /
