Umuveli & The Bird

This is a print I did for the Paper Planes Exhibition at the 2015 Design Indaba. It was organized by Alexanders Band, who are awesome.

The exhibition consisted of over 40 South African illustrators, creating artworks that interpret South African folklore and legends. I illustrated the story of Umuveli and the bird, a story of an ambitious and ungrateful bird that becomes a king, but looses everything because of his own pride.

You can find out about it and probably purchase a print HERE.

NO VACANT SEAS

I was asked to create a mix-tape and cover art for Between 10&5's #NowPlaying series.

 

You can listen to it HERE.

Essie Letter Press Artist's Almanac 2014

I illustrated the month of April for the 2014 Essie Letter Press Artist's Almanac. The other contributing artists are all amazing. It's definitely worth getting a copy before they sell out.
Buy one HERE.

House And Leisure / Rising Stars

I have been lucky enough to be included in House And Leisure's list of "Rising Stars".
There are a bunch of really, really talented guys on the list also.

Maybe get yourself a copy (or steal one from your gran or the dentist) and keep it in your car in case you are at the shops and you see my high school PT teacher, Mr Cloete, so you can show him I actually did something with my life other than being bad at rugby.

Etchings

I did an etching workshop at Warren Editions last week. These are some of the test prints from the workshop. I haven't been able to print an edition of either yet so they are not for sale. If you know of someone with a press that I could use/borrow/rent I would be very grateful.

ZA+MX

South Africa and Mexico are two countries that are steeped in rich cultural heritage. From mythical stories and urban legends to popular sayings. This project aims to show what each nation understands about the cultural dynamics of the other.

ZA+MX= is a group exhibition which marks an art & design collaboration between South African and Mexican Illustrators. 6 South African artists have been selected and will be paired up with 6 selected Mexican artists. The theme of the project will be based on proverbs. Each artist must choose a proverb/saying from his or her native land. The two country’s artists will then exchange the proverbs – this means that South Africa will send their native proverbs to Mexico, and Mexico will send theirs to South Africa.

The artists are then required to create two pieces of work based on their understanding or interpretation of the proverb. The art pieces will comprise an illustrated image of the proverb, accompanied by a typographic rendition of the allocated proverb as a second illustration.
The aim of the project is to explore cultural exchange through art & design, build a camaraderie spirit between artists in South Africa and Mexican artists, as well inspire each other and hopefully everyone that will come across the works.

These artworks, titled "Inhale" and "Ingest" are 900x600mm 3 color screen prints. That will be exhibited and sold in South Africa and Mexico later this year.

 "Voy derecho y no me quito, si me pegan me desquito." 

Which as far as I understand means heading towards one goal with no regrets or reservations about stepping on people to achieve your goal.
