And the project he has on with PUMA is an interesting one.
He is being supported to create artwork in his style of particular football stars from the African Nations teams whom PUMA support and he is being supported by them with an exhibition at the National Gallery South Africa. (all this SA talk makes me want to go and soon!....Z i know you wanna be there too...we SHALL go together ... im sure!)
