Only the purest pigments and the highest grades are used in Artists' Acrylics, formulated individually to ensure the cleanest, most brilliant colours. Winsor & Newton have developed a new unique binder that is translucent when wet and dries clear. It is this that ensures there is virtually no shift in colour at all and colours remain as brilliant when dry as they are when wet.

Artists' Acrylic offers the smooth, thick, short, buttery consistency preferred by most acrylic artists, with no stringiness. This juicy and painterly colour enables paints to be blended more easily and mixed with mediums or even water for water colour techniques. Whilst maintaining individual pigment characteristics these paints have achieved a uniform buttery consistency across the range, making it easier for the artist to handle during painting. These colours retain brushstrokes and the profile of the paint for excellent impasto effects. They also dilute gradually as water or medium is added, giving artists the maximum control over their paint.

Their ravenous appetite “devour” and remarkable adaptability earn them first dread, then awe, and finally the name “Aragami”.

Create your character, and fight for the survival of human-kind in GOD EATER 3. Select your weapon from a wide range of God Arcs and face brand new Aragamis in dynamic high-speed battles. Explore devastated areas you have never seen in the previous GOD EATER games.

Born To Kwaito considers the meaning of kwaito music now. ‘Now’ not only as in ‘after 1994’ or the Truth Commission but as a place in the psyche of black people in post-apartheid South Africa.

This collection of essays tackles the changing meaning of the genre after its decline and its ever-contested relevance. Through rigorous historical analysis as well as threads of narrative journalism Born To Kwaito interrogates issues of artistic autonomy, the politics of language in the music, and whether the music is part of a strand within the larger feminist movement in South Africa. Candid and insightful interviews from the genre’s foremost innovators and torchbearers, such as Mandla Spikiri, Arthur Mafokate, Robbie Malinga and Lance Stehr, provide unique historical context to kwaito music’s greatest highs, most captivating hits and most devastating lows. Born To Kwaito offers up a history of the genre from below by having conversations not only with musicians but with fans, engineers, photographers and filmmakers who bore witness to a revolution.

Living in a place between criticism and biography, Born To Kwaito merges academic theories and rigorous journalism to offer a new understanding into how the genre influenced other art forms such as fashion, TV and film. The book also reflects on how some of the music’s best hits have found new life through the mouths of local hip-hop’s current kingmakers and opened kwaito up to a new generation.

The book does not pretend to be an exhaustive history of the genre but rather a present-active analysis of that history as it settles and finds its meaning.
