goodbye Madiba

You've probably heard by now, Nelson Mandela has passed away…

Spent today just reflecting and doodling this based on the lovely photo from this article, one of the things I'll always remember about Madiba is that great smile.

And here's another article I thought was nice testament to the man :)

For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.

balance

In life, as in all things, one needs to find balance…

This is a collage illustration I did for Nasou Via Afrika's Life Orientation schoolbooks. It's been a great medium to explore. At times frustrating but when things click into place the results are, more often than not, very rewarding!

Best of all is how subtle it can be, symbols and meaning can be found which is both engineered and serendipitous :)

fly away...

Hope everybody had a good week, here's a little something I put together for this week's IF theme: sky

Enjoy!
