Illustration: Absa Sponsorship TVC

So, KEITH ROSE, yes, KEITH ROSE, tracked me down because of my Kopanya illustrations and wanted me to do a mural for a TV ad he was directing. Wah! Many late nights and blurred vision on this one. It's the soccer mural (a digital illustration popped in during post). The second TV ad which focuses on the mural will be up as soon as it's flighted :)

Tee Design for Food and Trees

This was a design I did for Food and Tree's Arbor Day event broadcast live on 702 Talk Radio. The amount of time I had to do this made my sphincter shrink but I think it came out quite well, especially seeing as there was a two-colour limit. The option they went for is below.

 

So I've started Something Little...

Yes, obsessed with doodling and making stuff, I've started a new brand called "Something Little." It's jewellery based on my doodles. Below is an example.

 

It's in two stores at the moment - one in Bloemfontein and the other in Melville - and has appeared in several blogs and the Voila magazine. Yay! Now, if only I had more time to focus on it...

Threadless T-shirt design: Your thoughts are not your own

 

Please vote for me! *Big puppy eyes* 

http://www.threadless.com/submission/331392/Your_thoughts_are_not_your_own

This is inspired by a chat I had with a good friend of mine. We were remarking on all the influences that shape our thoughts and how our own thoughts are perhaps not entirely our own. It's scary. Ooh... Shudder.

Illustration: Adidas Kopanya campaign featured in Gallery

 

Yay! The Kopanya work was featured in the int'l edition of Gallery The World's Best Graphics Vol. 04. Page 15 bitches! Excuse the web cam pics - I was too lazy to walk all the way to the scanner.

Illustration: Ace packs for TBWA\Hunt\Lascaris

 

Just an illustration I did for Ace mielie meal. It was a pack of cards with different illustrators doing each house/set. Eish... I don't know my card terminology.

Advertorial: IEC

We were briefed to create an advertorial in a Grade 9 Maths booklet for the IEC. We figured we'd put in a kid's terms. Illustration was mainly done by my lovely art director, Natalie Leroux, but I helped too.

The copy reads:

Freedom is not just being able to get into that club or being able to live without your parents hassling you. Freedom is not just being free from homework and chores. It's not just being able to listen to music your parents hate or being able to wear your shirt untucked.

Freedom is about making decisions for yourself. It's deciding to make South Africa the country you want it to be. It's deciding to vote. And this is why the IEC exists - to make sure everyone is free to be heard.

Design: TBWA tee (July 09)

Our company had a T shirt design competition with the winning tees being produced for a new store opening soon. Mine came in the top 5 and will be produced :) It's called "You give me butterflies."
