Mission Statement: Art can be an escape, a personal thing, a social thing, a way to meet others. It has been all these things for me. I love making and doing things, so I don't think I could ever stop. Art is a huge part of what makes me, me.
Medium: Mixed media, some favorites include Copic markers, acrylic, fineliners, water colors and my Wacom tablet for computer work.
Aesthetic: Fun, colorful, graphic, most likely containing robots and/or dinosaurs.
Notable Achievements: I won Sappi ThinkAhead Graphic Design Student of the Year. I have passed my ISTD (International Society of Typographic Design) exam, making me able to put MISTD after my name. I have been featured in House & Leisure magazine (South Africa) as a winner of their reusable packaging contest. I have also been an Emerging Creative at Design Indaba (South Africa) in 2009.
Why We Should Care: Cause everyone could do with more fun and robots.
I like the Star Wars influence in some of your work. Maybe unrelated but when I see the robot influence in fashion - for instance, your T-Shirt designs - all I can think of is the Adidas Star Wars campaign. When I look at the way science fiction has been co-opted within the mainstream, I want more crossovers, twisted crossovers included. I love the colored-marker morph of hearts w/ Boba Fett. Some of the packaged stuff is mind-blowing. The buttons emerge from the fabric art with the same depth as The Good The Bad The Ugly piece but what type-of packaging exactly is that from? a DVD?
