Experience

      My area of expertise lies in creating memorable caricatures, using both client-provided concepts and photographs. Furthermore, I offer logo design, cartooning and editorial photo illustration services. My caricatures are frequently commissioned as distinctive gifts for special occasions such as retirements, farewells, birthdays, graduations, and wedding anniversaries, providing a personalised touch that is often difficult to achieve with other presents.My logo design services cater to micro, small, and medium-sized businesses. Additionally, I am adept at producing cartoons for a variety of purposes, including education. Lastly, I possess a fondness for producing photo illustrations, primarily for editorial purposes and lately, I've been creating realistic AI art instead of using photos, then continuing the same manipulation in Photoshop as before.

  • SmartArt

    • Graphic Designer and Illustrator
      • 1998 - 1999
      • Bellville, Western Cape, South Africa

      After exploring different career paths, including puppeteering and DJing, I experienced a pivotal moment that led me to pursue graphic design – a career I had been trained for. This decision led me to work at a small business where I was able to develop a strong creative portfolio. I am grateful for the opportunity provided by my former employers, and I reflect fondly on the memories of working with somewhat limited equipment, such as a PowerMac 6100 and a Zip drive used as a scratch disk for Photoshop.
