Save Our Seas

A friend in advertising called me and asked whether I’d be keen to do a bit of work on a very cool campaign for Save Our Seas. Basically I was assigned to write a letter in the voice of a squid named Sarah. I tried to keep it quite inky and also a bit distressed – it turned out well I think. This letter, and a few others like it, were stuffed into bottles and left on Muizenberg beach (in a totally non-littering kind of way). Then unsuspecting passers-by picked up the bottles and could read a message from a sea creature in need of help.

So here’s my letter. (It was very flattering to be commissioned to do this along with some very talented illustrators – take a look over here to see all 5 letters as well as to find out how to save our seas.)

Inside Visi

The new Visi is out, which means that ‘my’ issue is off the shelves. It’s the life cycle of a magazine I suppose, but I thought in memory I’d post some photos of the inside spreads which I realised I hadn’t done yet. I stole these photos from Artpropelled where Robyn had a lot of kind words to say about my work.

The Food Chain Alphabet

I’ve had the idea to draw a food chain alphabet for a while – so i thought i’d draw it as quickly as possible. Well, not quite as quickly as possible, but pretty darn quickly. I like the result. It gets a bit mad as it goes along.

Spaceship

I’m doing some more test illustrations for a children’s book – I’ll post more about it soon. In the mean time here’s an astronaut stopping to check the map.

Visi cover

The Visi is here – there it is in my hand. The whole thing came out wonderfully. You’ll need to buy it see the other nine pages I drew.

Exhibition – and you’re invited

If you’re in Cape Town, come by. It should be pretty cool.
