Richard Parker Dear Rae ring

What are the nicest things to draw? Animals, without a doubt. This collaboration with Dear Rae Jewellery made me super happy. Karin designed these charming animal rings inspired by The Life of Pi and asked me to dream up a matching series of limited prints of Richard Parker, a bird and a fish.  What animal are you? I thought I might be a tiger, turns out I’m a fish. Follow this link to shop.

I hand-tinted each print with gold ink: the nose on RP, flying-fins on the fish and wings on the goose. 

(the first twenty purchases of these rings in either gold or silver come with one of my limited prints)

Where It's At

I don't think this magazine/book thing received much publicity when it came out earlier this year and it's a shame because it's so well considered and intelligently put together. Richard Hart edited & compiled it and his team at Disturbance designed it and it shows. Read the interview with RH here.

I contributed some editorial bits and a poster that can be torn out designed after my favourite south africanism just now...

This is how the cover poster unfolds

Clever.

april & essie's almanac

Essie Letterpress invited me to illustrate a calendar month for their 2013 Artists Almanac and I was only too happy to claim April, one of my favourite months in the Cape.
The almanac is beautifully put together and available for purchase here. Individual art prints are for sale, here's mine.
February's my favourite. Hello Summertime.

a story about swimming lessons

It must be the coldest day of the year so far here so perhaps not the most appropriate pictures to post... However, these are part of a lovely show up at Salon91 in Kloof street until the ninth of next month which showcases stories, pictures, animations and artists' books created by my fellow classmates and I. You should see it if you're in town. Details here.

Paper is You

Paper is You , a group show I’m participating in opens tonight at Salon 91 in Kloof street. I’m thrilled to be joining such a talented bunch. It opens at 7:30pm and runs until the 25^th of June. 

The collaborative piece each of us worked on: Elsabe Milandri, Colijn Strydom, Paul Senyol, Marlise Keith, Andrew Sutherland, Gabrielle Raaff and me.
