One Fine T’ing illustrations of Jamaica at LAUNCH in Peterborough

Rob Niezen created around thirty vignettes for One Fine T’ing – The Story of Jamaican Self-Help. These approximately 2 x 6″ (5 x 15 cm) line illustrations in ink are based on photos made during a tour around Jamaica with Jamaican Self-Help (JSH), including visits to JSH projects in downtown Kingston and the parish of Saint Mary. Jamaican Self-Help stopped in 2021, and the projects it supported are now sponsored by an NGO named Uzazi. The original illustrations are for sale. They come in an 8 x 10″ (20 x 25 cm) matte with manilla board backing in a poly bag, and are CAN $ 40 each. I am donating 25% of the proceeds to Uzazi. You can purchase these at LAUNCH Gallery at The Art School of Peterbrough.
