2 Months to go!

With only two months to go im, admittedly, getting rather excited! Today I downloaded the form for a visa. Last time we didn't apply for one in advance and waited ages in the airport so wont make that mistake again! :)

I've started compiling a list of bits and bobs I need to do and what equipment I need to take. I won't have my wife to rely on to remember everything on this journey so I must get organised!

I've been chatting to Leyan lots since my last post. He does graphite drawings of lions and even makes his own frames. I can't wait to meet him and see his work in person. I also hope to meet his grandma who lives a few hours to the north making traditional beaded gourds and beaded ornaments.

This is Leyan!

If you live near Nairobi and know anyone you think I should meet then please get in touch! I'm in Nairobi for 7 or 8 days and need to fit in everything I can. My main objective is just to meet as many people I can explaining what I'm trying to achieve  My vision for safari on canvas is to open up a market for african art to the UK and European markets. By meeting the artists directly I can open up a direct channel for trade in this industry.
