Heita bruthas n sistas of the Arfrikanus Kreativnus!

It is almost a month since the launch of the Afrikan Storm, and what a storm it has been! RESPEK to all of you who have signed up for this Newsletta, sent us pledges of allegiance and told friends, family and other creatures of the muthaland to get up off their hind legs and make a noise.

We have received over 8000 unique hits this month from all over the world, and been featured on creative portals from Brazil to Kazakhstan, as well as all the creative community authorities like K10K, Pixelsurgeon, Three.OH and Surfstation. What does this mean to you? It means that when you participate in the Eksibit projects, your work circulates the globe. It means that Afrika is getting OUT THERE.

The world hears our drumbeat. Let’s bang louder…
