DSTV, a sponsor of Design Indaba, asked myself and my studio-mates to create a fully illustrated alphabet. Each letter needed to be in a different style and show a different movie, character or show on one of DSTV's channels. The letters were used to make phrases seen on banners around the Design Indaba expo and conference. 4 of the 26 letters were made into massive sculptures.

I was invited to do a submission for The Shape Factory, an awesome little site started up by South African illustrator Greg Darroll. Greg provides a shape template within which each artist need to work so that the shape is still very obvious. I ended up with the circle and did a self portrait of how you can usually find me.

The awesome team and all round good-guys at Thinking asked myself and my über talented studio mates to create faces to be routered into the wooden tops of their bucket seats.

Check out the rest of the bucket seats by the rest of the team at the Thingking site.

Production: SJ Artists

Chappies is a much loved South African bubble gum brand. The inside of Chappie wrappers are filled with interesting "Did You Know" facts. After asking the public to submit a batch of new facts for the wrappers, Ogivly hired me to create an illustration for an edible mural depicting one of the submitted facts to be put up in Woodstock and to be made entirely out of Chappies.

15 hours and nearly 18 000 Chappies later the mural was done and the community was invited to help themselves to the product. Another 15 minutes later it was gone.

Another silly little side project. Now design-geek-hipster-interwebbers can teach their kids their ABC's with more culture-relevant examples. 

This project has received an absurd amount of attention from all sorts of folks. They've been pinned to death. They've been featured on Huffington Post, Buzzfeed, Laughing Squid, Design Taxi, Behance, a myriad of blogs and so very many more. I'm really flattered that there has been so much interest in this little project. It was just made as a time filler over a few evenings when I had nothing else to do.

I'm looking for sources to get these produced. As soon as they available I will post that goodness all over the front page of my site on twitter on Facebook on the blog and everywhere else I can.
