Been privileged this year to spend some precious time with my friends Mosy and Tony Marshak at their beautiful home in Swaziland. I was kindly invited to stay with them while Tony and I worked on a book project which both of us bravely decided to take on. It's basically a compilation of Tony's best oil paintings, black ink drawings and latest digital artwork created on his iPad.
I was first introduced to Tony's amazingly creative artwork few years ago when I lived in Swaziland. Later on he showed me some more of his artworks and afterwards we discussed the idea of producing a book with all his best pieces. It was decided then to begin the project by me taking photos of all his art and then process them through my Canon photo program. Tony often took breaks from his painting to sit by my side and guide me in the color and quality side of the finally produced work.
We had a fantastic time day after day, tripping together in creative energy which was magically offered by Cosmic vibrations in their extraordinary home, which has been designed by this creative couple. We also cooked together, played and listened to music, and took hikes around the beautiful natural surroundings with their four dogs. The photo slide show contains visions captured through the lens of my camera of Tony working, mixed with other memoirs of our meaningful days together. The background music is created and produced by myself, adding a few organic sonic vibes to further embellish this multimedia presentation of our experiences together as art yogis.

I truly believe that Tony is one of the most progressive and true psychedelic artists currently living in southern Africa and his master pieces ought to be exhibited to a wider public in Africa and all over the art world. Tony's art will be soon available to the public as a coffee table book at their Swazi Candles shop, and also as an e-book.
