African Landrover Wooden Art Sculptures.

in #creative6 years ago

Hey everyone, about 6 months back I made a post about a resourceful artistic man who sold his amazing wooden sculptures on the side of the road . His name was Oliver, subsequently a week later he was featured in the 'Pretoria News' one of South Africa's Oldest newspapers.

Yesterday I took my electric scooter for a ride to a client to see what was needed for another bee rescue mission and on my way there I met a few friends of Oliver, colleagues even, Vincent and Lawrence. They are also Malawian and also sell their awesome wood carvings on the side of the road. They all work together just in different parts of Pretoria.

How amazing are these?

Turns out they have a few new awesome sculptures too. These range in price from R200 ($15) to about R1000 ($75) I just love the talent and resourceful African 'never say die' spirit and tenacity!

These guys really do deserve a lot more than they are currently earning each art work takes around 4 days to make I am told. Would there not be an international market for these?

Toyota Land Cruiser how nice is this? Spades, gas cannisters, roof racks and all the extra storage needed for a full blown African Safari, talking of that, who's coming to South Africa for a vacation? If so let me know we can organize a Steemup with a few other cool South Africans from here too!!

Do the wooden Land Rovers also leak oil?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Worst 4x4 by far

God damn! Those are amazing! Yes, there could definitely be an international market for those. The right people with enough money would pay quite a bit to get one of those I bet

@craigcyproking you HAVE to enter this into the #marketfriday that @dswigle has initiated. She'll really appreciate this amazing art work from Africa
