Meager Means is about the resilience and resourcefulness of humans during harsh times and poverty. Represented here with the ever so crudely hammered nail showcasing the ever so useful, even poetic potentials of the wire. A Series intended to keep reminding us to be humble, creative and persistent with the life we have.

The nail and the wire must be the two most useful and versatile tools ever coined. My grandfather, a Mechanical Engineer, always had a wire bun hanging from a nail by the exit door of his workshop, just in case something needed urgent fixing. This image of the nail and the wire are carved into my memory until today, so I now give it back, with an added emotion!
CAUTION: This not an actual wire hanging by a nail. It is a mear 2D (flat) drawing.

Giclée printing is a process that uses fade-resistant, archival inks and archival substrates to print on large format printers (estimated to last over 200 years without significant fading). It is the next best print to silkscreen and when signed and numbered is considered highly collectable.

Limited Edition Series: 1/100 copies, numbered and signed.

This is a selection of nibo's digitally hand-drawn sketches from the Sketchbook Series folder created on Facebook in 2011. The sketches tackle various philosophical, social and political issues at a universal level. They try to depict the moral principles and axioms that govern the social behaviour of the members of all societies, by looking at issues common to all people such as fear, guilt, insecurity, low self-respect, lack of purpose, social behaviour etc. The aim of this work is to offer guidance and a sense of confidence, especially to young people such as students, who can feel overwhelmed or lost by the sudden changes in their lives. 

Pick a sketch with a message you'd like to remember and put it on a narrow wall (WC's are good!) or a column, in the house or in the office. It will uplift you and possibly remind you of an importand principle in your life.

The Machine Series are colourful charms (if you believe in that sort of thing) to help along with your goals. Alternatively, you can view them as never stopping, silently working man-made mechanisms, little tokens to human ingenuity.
