Remedy this!

A while back we, my good pal and co-loon Maloney and I, created a spin off cartoon strip from our Opera Savannah greeting cards...
It dealt with the day-to-day rituals of a quirky meerkat family and some other beasties from the neighbouring veld.

Meet Albert. That reclusive uncle, the ever vigilant scientist, always ravenous for knowledge; you know the one, every family has one of those!

...wanna bet?

One of my first jobs, when I started my freelance career, was to design and illustrate a comic for NRGP. It was aimed at school kids all over South Africa to create awareness of the dangers of gambling.

Myself and my partner, writer Ian Malone, were given incredible leeway to get the best possible product. So we ran with it.... and ran.... and ran. Far.

This is where I discovered how much potential ink washed backgrounds have against 'regular' outlined elements - especially characters.

foolishness

It was about 2 years ago that my good friend Ian Malone and I decided to become professional fools, so we did what any fool would,we started a company "the Foolery"

We started with these:Opera Savannah is a collection of cartoon gags initially released as greeting cards... and will eventually be collected as a book, I scheme...
