This is probably the
quickest response we got to our initial emailing to link our project and
finding walls. Jack (Black) Scorpios daughter, Tashima, instantly flowed
with our ideas and saw similar visions with the project, and welcomed it with
open arms. Unfortunately for us, but lucky for her, she was away on holiday when
we arrived. However, Jack and Spyder (his son) were equally open about Nicin’
up the island. (more about Black Scorpio on my previous post: here.)
First weekend in Kingston, Jack kindly invited us along to Rebel
Salute, an amazing night-day long reggae gig. When we came back the second time,
he took us to Bob Marley Tribute concert held by the Marley ‘kids’ in Trench
Town. We were lucky seeing the likes of Damian Marley, Romain Virgo and
Capleton. They also helped sorting out accommodation for the rest of the stay
in Jamaica above Spyders rec. studio, which we had a short sneaky peek while
SmokeKing was recording some dubplates with Buju Bantons sister
Adena Myrie.
Enough about this ‘boring’
stuff, now, painting! It’s the first ROOF painting I’ve done. It was quite
refreshing working on a higher level, and with a bit of a distance from any
interruptions or distractions I could concentrate more. The only discomfort, or
difficulty was trying not to stumble and fall in all these iron poles sticking
up for wall extensions. This paint
took two days, as first day we had to get hold of more buckets of house paint
(…as someone was lucky to spill half a box in his rucksack, got to have a couple
of minor accidents..or?!)
Last post will be from Tuff Gong Int. (Marley rec studio.)
