Illustration

As with people, every project is different, requiring its own tone and voice. From my earliest days in animation I've always aspired to execute illustrative concepts in the most appropriate styles. Never a slave to trend, but rather, in service to the idea and audience.

Working predominantly in digital media, anything is possible, hyper-realistic traditional media like pastels, oils and watercolours, contemporary vector based styles and 3D visualisation. I've been fortunate enough to work on numerous award winning national advertising campaigns.

This personal project was originally created for an exhibition | Papercuts at The Cabinet | Cape Town. It involved photography, 3D modeling and post production/retouching. I hope to create a full series for purchase.
