Malawian Art
I just bought some hand painted cards in town and I wanted to share them. I think they are a beautiful example of Malawian artwork.

The first one was created by Gilbert D. Mpakule from Zomba, Malawi. He has an email address - if you like what you see let him know: gmpakule@yahoo.com. As for the second I can only tell you that it is signed by "Chambers" - I bet Gilbert could pass on any messages though.

Is it commonplace in Malawian art to portray women with such altitude? The lines are so long and thin - any theory as to why?
