...

ek is só trots op die resultate van hierdie projek. my studente laat my hart jubel wanneer hulle sulke werk inhandig.

my students inspire me

how beautiful is this CI for a website that one of my students created. I love that her beautiful sense of humour is coming through in her work.

...

my student het 'n pragtige identiteit en webwerf ontwerp. ek geniet dit vreeslik as hulle sin vir humor deurkom in hulle werk.

for a lekker-local food fest

my second year graphic design students experimented with hand made typography a bit and I just love the leaker-local results.

...

my students het 'n bietjie gespeel met letters vir 'n nuwe kos-fees plakaat.

ek is 'n vreeslike trotse lektor

one of my biggest inspirations on my creative journey is my students. this year i worked with my grad year graphic design students on the ISTD assessments. serena van der nest passed their assessments with flying colours. it is seen as a considerable achievement. membership of the international society of typographic designers is awarded to graduating students that demonstrate, through the quality of their work, their commitment to achieving the highest possible standard of visual communication. i am very proud of her. serena choose a brief where she had to create a book to demonstrate the philosophy of a chosen crafter. her chosen crafter uses expressive embroidery as a medium. serena took hours and hours to embroider letters in her book by hand.

...

'n groot inspirasie in my kreatiewe lewe is my studente. die jaar het ek die voorreg gehad om saam met ons derdejaar grafiese ontwerp studente aan die ISTD opdragte te werk. serena van der nest het die ISTD toetse geslaag. ek is so trots op haar, glo my dit was nie maklik nie. baie min studente bereik hierdie mylpaal. haar opdrag wat sy gekies het was om die filosofie van 'n handwerker uit te beeld in boekvorm. sy het 'n handwerker gekies wat pragtige kreatiewe borduurwerk doen. oral in haar boek het sy met die hand borduurwerk op haar letters gedoen. 

for LOL~day

i decided to make a new label to celebrate creatives that made me laugh. who does not need a laugh every now and then? blue q is the perfect place to go to for a giggle when you need it. they have never let me down over the years. go and visit their website for loads more fun stuff.

...

deur die jare het ek gereeld na blue q se webwerf gegaan wanneer my gemoed bietjie swaar raak. hulle humor laat my altyd uitbars van die lag. gaan kyk vir jouself wanneer die wêreld bietjie hard druk. die link is in ligte grys hierbo.

yay, it's eye candy day

i had a very busy year so far. let's hope that i can get to my own creative work to show you guys more regularly. but for now i'm drooling over other peoples work. i just love these illustrations done by sally nixon. a peek into the every day life of these ladies are strangely comforting. she also has a cool instagram account to follow.

...

my jaar so ver is mal. ek sukkel om by my eie kreatiewe werk uit te kom. so vir nou drool ek oor ander mense se werk. kyk bietjie na sally nixon so pragtige tekeninge. sy het ook 'n instagram blad om the volg.

these bags are just the thing for eye candy day

i just had to share grav-grav's handbags and clutches with you. she have a few collections, bit the cross stitched wooden bags are my favourite.

... 

ek is so verlief op hierdie handsakke van grav-grav. sy het 'n paar reekse, maar die een is my gunsteling reeks.

it's button candy day!

what can be better than a giant button stool! i'm so in love with these buttton stools from church original products.

...

ek gaan moet 'n knopie-stoeltjie of twee, wag drie, vir my kry. ek is versot op hulle. hulle word vervaardig deur church original products.

mad skills at work

look at the detail that went into the creation of these pieces. they were done by artists with amazing skills in an exhibition for the brooklyn botanic garden. for more information on the artists and exhibition look at his blog post.

...

sjoe, en was ek stomgeslaan toe ek hierdie fotos sien. mens kry darm maar ongelooflike kunstenaars daar buite. hierdie gebreide plante is opgetower vir die brooklyn botaniese tuin. as jy meer wil weet oor die uitstalling en kunstenaars gaan kyk na hierdie blog post.

i love folk art and it influences my work and designs. this lady, karen barbé is a textile designer based in chile. we share this love. do yourself a favour and look at her work. since i found this blog i started to explore 'threat art' even more.

soos julle weet is ek baie lief vir volkskuns en beinvloed dit my kuns en ontwerpe. karen barbé, 'n tekstiel onwerper van chile, deel my liefde vir volkskuns en die invloede is oral in haar werk te vinde. ek moet se dat ek al hoe meer en meer met naald en gare 'teken' nadat ek haar werk gesien het. hier is haar blog.  ek hoop julle geniet dit net soos ek, om deur die blog te blaai.
