So I have finally joined the struggling artists of Cape Town as a baby designer trying to find his way in this awesome town. I started an internship at  a small start-up company called Personera right in the middle of Cape Town’s city bowel. Visit their website here to see what they’re all about. I’ve been doing the 9-5 thing like the good little...

Some very exciting news y’all! My very first site just went live for the first time! It’s a site I designed and developed for a beautiful guest lodge/ B&B in De Kelders, Gansbaai (South Africa, of course). I am so chuffed with myself and almost on the brink of tears haha! It took me nearly two weeks to do and it came a long way from...

So it has been quite some time since my last post, but let me tell you, this kid has been kinda all over the place. I fucking graduated! Wahooooo!! Anyway, the last couple of weeks, I spent most of my time with family and friends either in Cape Town or at home on the farm in Caledon, because the last two weeks before my...

This is what I have been working on for the last week or so. It’s sculptures of heads if you can’t figure it out with your own little eyes =). This is for part of my final exhibition which is in about 2 weeks. The first is made with wire, the second with hardboard and nails and the third with pipe and wire. I...

It is really interesting to use type as image. Of course, my examples are quite simple in comparison to some stuff you get out there. These are for a poster series about rumours and gossiping. Cool huh? I hate those nasty rumours that go around, especially with regards to family and friends. People just can’t stop talking about other people’s sad stories and heartache!...

I have a story to tell. You see, I recently got my brother and his wife a very neat joint birthday present. I had three of my works (originals…ha!) framed which didn’t cost an awful lot, but I am a student so any money at all is a lot for me. Here is where my story gets deep… I grew up on a farm....

Here are some cool ink + water illustrations I did last year. Discovered it in my stash of old work. We had to speak to random people all over town and ask them all the same question, then draw them and then rework the drawing again. Then we had to choose one of the works and do something with the individual answer i.e. place...

So I found these two photographs from a project we did in 2nd year. It was quite tricky doing photography back then because we had to do everything manually – the developing and everything. Tricky business! But we learned a lot and it’s a skill that could one day turn into a very interesting hobby. Plus, the dark room in our studio is a...

These are some water colour illustrations from my sketch book. I used to hate water colour, but I have come to really enjoy it. Guess it depends on the subject matter =) So I’m finally home on the farm again. Think I’m gonna stay till bout Wednesday or so. Some things I need to do. Exciting new project I wanna work on. Actually two...

So I have found another little personal gem which I totally forgot about. Seeing as I’m in Stellenbosch and not at home on the farm where I grew up, I am not able to get all the stuffs from my previous life time at the moment. There is soooo much stuff that I still want to put up here, but it is all at...

So I have decided to change the name of my blog. The reason for this is that the content has changed and does not only consist of stuff that I was doing for my Clearspeech campaign. The blog still includes all of that as well, but I have started to really really enjoy this whole blogging thing and I just might venture into other...
