Bicycle enamel was all Oyster Bay offered — so the entire visual language grew from seven pots of glossy paint.
Kikomo ndicho mwalimu — rangi za baisikeli zilizaa lugha nzima ya sanaa.

From a single board to a cooperative of sixty hands — the style survived because it was taught, never owned.
Mmoja huwa mila — stili ilidumu kwa sababu ilifundishwa, si kumilikiwa.
