the rabbit and the wolf

I recently had the opportunity to illustrate several stories for Shuter and Shooter, a publisher I hadn’t worked with before, how exciting :)

One of these stories was an African fable about a rabbit... 

and a wolf…

the Gimp is dead, long live the Gimp!

One of my dearest models died recently.
Gimli (aka the Gimp aka Gimme aka Gimpster) was a cat of great standing and sweet, sweet disposition. A lion’s mane enveloping the most delicate personality, a real sweet-heart...

Rest in peace buddy, I miss you.

"what lion?”

Zitt’s story

And now for something completely different…

 

This is Zitt, an odd little crustacean character that I came up with months ago for the Velocity anthology, he was to feature in his very own 4page mini-comic of Moebius-inspired mayhem.

Regretably, this was right around the time I got ridiculously entrenched in other (paying) work, and so I had to pull out :(

I hope I’ll get to finish his story someday, I had a great steed worked out and it was gonna be infused with all sorts of funny South Africanisms like ‘bru’, ‘howzit’, ‘Obz’ and many more… 

For now though, it’ll be committed to the depths of this blog’s archives… but for now: Enjoy!

Design 4 Development interview

I’ve had the pleasure of working with D4D for a number of years now, doing things to uplift and better inform the community. 

This strip about HIV antiretrovirals is one of the latest cartoons I’ve created for them, each one being more fun to create than the last! 

Recently, I was featured on their blog; check it out here, you might even see something you haven’t seen before :)

going to school

We’ve all been there. School.

 How we got to it every morning though, that all depends…

 

and my personal favourite…

There’s a little story behind that one: when I was a kid I would visit overseas and when people found out I lived in Africa they were amazed and a barrage of questions would follow. I remember another kid asking me: “is it true that you ride elephants to school?”

So, like any 10 year old, I replied: “Of course! Sometimes even lions!!”

Looking back, I should’ve said: “lion-o-saurus”

big fish

Did this one as a treat for myself for surviving the grueling last few months!

I just can’t figure out which fish I am…
