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.

here's a look at a section of a design for my 'tin plate art' called 'jan pierewiet'. the design will probably be in black. maybe more colours ~ still deciding.

hierdie ontwerp is 'n gedeelte van my eerste idees vir my 'jan pierewiet-reeks'. die ontwerpe sal heel moontlik in swart gedruk word. miskien nog kleure.

oodles of doodles

my learners cover their desks with boards every year. look at this one from a few years back. johan strydom's desk cover is mounted and hanging on my wall in my office.

spesiaal vir johan strydom. johan het via een van my huidige leerlinge gevra of ek nog sy "desk cover" het. dis teen my muur in my kantoor en laat my nog steeds lag. dankie.

mono prints by Carla Bruni. 

the mono printing revolution

lovely mono prints my learners did.

mono printing

the week of the design indaba was full of inspiration. i'm still overloaded with the ideas that the big names of the design world shared with us. 

the thursday evening i did some mono printing with the local creatives in Wellington and Paarl. Nanette Ranger a local artist gave us some lessons and tips. the session was organised by the Drakenstein Art Society. it was lovely to work with more creatives and this time local creatives.

i made two prints based on a drawing i did of my oldest daughter.

verlede week was 'n week vol inspirasie. die design indaba was 'n fees, ek kook nou nog oor van al die idees wat die groot kanonne in die designwêreld aan ons oorgedra het. 

donderdagaand het ek 'n mono-printing-les bygewoon wat aangebied is deur Nanette Ranger, 'n bekende kunstenaar van die Paarl-omgewing. Drakenstein Kunsvereniging het dit gereël. dit was heerlik om so tussen al die kunsmense van die Wellington en Paarl omgewing te wees.

ek het twee prints gemaak wat ek nogal van hou. die prints is gebaseer op 'n tekening wat ek van my oudste dogter gemaak het.
