Walt Disney and BBC will launch 52 children films Tinga Tinga Tales™ on TV in 2010. All films are illustrated by Tinga Tinga painters and inspired by Tinga Tinga art.

Hasani MchisaLet me tell you that we have still some paintings after Hasani Mchisa who passed in April this year. Half of the proceeds from the sales will go to the widow and his family. Mr. Mchisa is presented at the National Gallery in Florence in Italy. He is included in a number of books in connection with George Lilanga. But for me and most of other artists he was a great friend. Many miss him. Look at the painitngs here.

Barack ObamaAs you know the current president of USA has roots in Kenya, neighbouring country to Tanzania. Tinga Tinga artists were excited about it and some painted him. Just look at Barack Obama in Tinga Tinga style! I don´t think there is as much interest in buying his paintings as during the time of election but who knows.
