New Nuances work: Cape Columbine
Cape Columbine
photo montage
limited edition print on acid free art paper
84 x 84 cm
Edition size: 5 (4 available for sale)
2012
This Nuances work is inspired by and created from photographs I took while walking on the coastline of, and South of, Paternoster on the West Coast. The mark of (hu)man is evident in most of the areas along this coastline, but it remains an amazing and breath-taking stretch of sand, rocks and marine life. Protected areas such as the West Coast National Park and the Cape West Coast Biosphere Reserve (CWCBR) are very important in protecting sea life, animal life, fynbos and intricate eco system(s) found on the West Coast of South Africa.

Illustration for Greenpop
Illustration that I did on Monday for Greenpop's Good Things Happen When You Plant a Tree campaign. This is printed on the Assembly's latest line-up brochure, as the collector's poster on the flip-side. It is also used in the flyer for their third COOL AS FOLK party: ecojunki.blogspot.com/2011/10/greenpop-cool-as-folk-party-at-assembly.html

Rocks and Trees
I am starting to play and explore more and more with watercolour and of course combining it with my drawing materials. These are some smallish sketches (smaller than A4 size) I did last week in preparation for some bigger works.

I met Kevin Brand today! I went to the Cape Peninsula University of Technology and while talking to the head of Graphic Design, Bruce Snaddon, Kevin walked into his office and got to meet him. Nice timing!

Design and a commission
You may have been wondering what on earth I've been up to. As usual, I've been busy with more than one thing, struggling to find my focus in the chaos that I call my working life. But I also took a wonderful break from things for the festive season and feel refreshed, enthusiastic and optimistic about the year ahead. An update about some of the things happening at the moment are as follows:
1. I have finished my commissioned A0 (1088 x 840mm) size painting for Optima Training in Pretoria. I did it in mixed media (of course) including acrylic, pastels, bits of cut paper, Mendal 90 and stone shavings. The actual composition and content was presented in a digital presentation before I started painting, with the globe representing Optima's global vision and the different colours reflecting their corporate colours that fit in with every division or aspect of the business, their objectives and activities in South Africa as well as many other countries.
2. I am currently busy reworking and changing the illustrative logo design for the Heart Space Community Centre. The initial version was the following, but will be changed within the next week or two.
3. Ecojunki - have a look at the beginnings of the website! I am currently meeting up with people who create rescycled art, and also creating a range of my own for ecojunki. Plurge, the poster publication with eco-focused illustration & photography, is also still in the pipeline, and the following illustrations are part of the new identity (of which the branding side is being overseen by CommArt):
4. Butterspider - if you don't already know about it, my sister and I are teaming up as freelance team offering writing, editing, design and illustration services. We're currently trying to decide on our logo:
For a more visible, bigger version go here and also feel free to contact me with your opinion and thoughts! Our first two projects are logo designs for Write to the Point and EcoDoc Africa. Some of the options that we created are shown here, although we're still in the production process.
5. I am starting to work on the conceptual basis for my first solo exhibition, as well as working on new work to be exhibited as part of this exhibition entitled 'Scapes' or 'Land(scapes]'.
