Search and Destroy was the theme given to me for this job, and the guys at KFD wanted to use a pirate ship in the design in some way. I had never illustrated a ship before so it was pretty fun doing this one. Getting all the elements of the ship into the drawing was quite a task, and I never thought getting water to work would be so hard. At the end of the day the client was really happy with the result, and I like they way it turned out as well. I’m looking forward to getting one of these decks when they finish production

The Vendetta Cartel is a Johannesburg based punk band and they asked me to design a T-shirt graphic for them. The band sings songs revolving around social issues and life in modern day South Africa. For the T-shirt graphic I wanted to use an image that reflected the hard hitting nature of the bands songs, tied in with their name, and also had a taste of latin influence as the singer originates from South America. In the end I think the graphic met all those criteria, and the shirt design was well received by the band and their fans.

I painted this portrait of Ruben Alcantara a few years back. He was out here on tour, and at the time I was painting portraits of most of my friends so decided to do one of him as well. My buddy Tyrone snapped a photograph of Ruben and I worked off that to paint this picture. It is done with acrylic paints on a sheet of plywood 50cm x 50cm.

Every year the Woodstock Festival invites Revolution to host their own stage at the event. For woodstock 9 they asked me to design the poster for their stage and I really enjoyed doing it.With Revolution being and activist based company I wanted to have the poster reflect a very DIY feel to it. Their logo which is a raised fist is an iconic image, and I combined it with the music theme by placing a microphone in the hand. Following on with the DIY / Revolutionary them I used red, black,a nd brown inks, as well as adding an aged texture to the overall image. To go with the poster I also did a double sided “loyalty card” which had the lineup on one side, and tokens on the other. these were stamped each time a person visited the stage, and prizes were given to supporters who collected all the stamps.

Good Times is a theme that runs through everything that KFD does, and for this design they asked me to do a deck and T-shirt that went with this theme. Partying, girls, and beer are always good ingredients for a good time, so I chose images along those lines for the illustration. I based the design on a neon light you would find outside a bar, and incorporated the KFD flag as one of the design elements. The guys at KFD were stoked with this design, and I’m looking forward to seeing the finished items.

For this design I was asked to do a typographic logo design for Killer Truck Co. I really like working with fonts so this design was pretty enjoyable. I chose to use an old english style font as it worked well with the brand, and then developed it to take on a 3D shape. The design is going to be used on T-shirts and Hoodies so I went with a single colour print to keep costs down for the customer.
