Escape Monday: FREEDOM!

joshadamski01Guys, we’ve done it. We have escaped Monday at long last and are finally free to do whatever the hell we want ALL DAY!

That’s right, it’s Heritage Day here in the good ol’ S of A, which means we can kick back, chill to the max and all braai the shit out of shit in an effort to celebrate what makes South Africans South African.

Ironically, I’ll be spending most of today working. That’s the double-edged sword that is public holidays – as awesome as they are, you lose a day of productivity which I can’t afford right now. These images from Josh Adamski are making that reality a little easier to bear though.

Check it:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Adamski created these pics by taking normal photos of sunsets and digitally manipulating them to make it look like the images have been painted. You need to check out this man’s 500 px site, his work is seriously amazing.

The third one down is my favourite, makes me want to drink whisky Winking smile

Enjoy the public holiday party people, go eat a hunk of delicious charred meat for your Tiger pal.

Escape Monday: H. Leung’s Enchanted Landscapes

kenhongleungpaintings9In retrospect, I’m not really sure if this Escape Monday project is such a good idea. If ous knew that KLAP GYM BOET SlickTiger was posting this blerrie moffie stuffs, my badass internet rep might be destroyed irreparably.

A person is either a flippin’ KLAP GYM BOYCHAY or a cardigan-wearing, arty-farty paf. The line is drawn in the sand and you’re either on one side or the other.

While you contemplate that pearl of wisdom I’m just going to leave these images that Chinese-American painter Ken Hong Leung did as examples of the kind of stuff a klap gym ou would NEVER post.

So ja, if anyone needs me, I’ll be dumbell-pressing my body weight with other sweaty, grunty men.

Good times.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looking at these images, I get the feeling they don’t do the real-life versions any justice at all.

Really wouldn’t mind having one of these hanging on my living room wall so you know, I could look at it while I did bicep curls…

Happy Monday Winking smile
