Grrrr

This little lion was to illustrate a magazine article about game drives. Looks like the lion is running away scared rather than attacking. I guess its not easy to look cute and dangerous at the same time.

Another wedding invite

This is another wedding invite I did. This one for a Dutch/SA couple. I'm actually busy with a similar one now, another Dutch/SA couple.

You make me smile

This is one of the cards I did for Stuff for Africa, this one didn't make it through so you won't be seeing it in the shops. I think its pretty funny though. But I might be the only one...

Agency animals

I work in advertising, different agencies, same characters...

Bubble boy

I did this for Willowbridge centre, it's what they put in the window when a new shop is opening.

Mommy and me

Every now and then I get to draw pictures in work time, work being advertising. This is one of those.

Big in Japan.

These were done through a Japanese illustration agency for the Olympics last year. They were prizes in a Coke competition in Japan. An illustrator from each continent each did two designs, I was Africa.

Always the wedding invite designer, never the bride...

This is another wedding invite I did. This one was for an accountant and a pig farmer.

Monkey love.

These little monkeys were for Valentines day for woolies. They appeared on mugs and wrapping paper and stuff.

Spirograph flowers

I did this for my friend Lisa’s little baby, who is very cute by the way. The flowers were done with a spirograph at least I think that’s what you call those things. Used to love them when I was a kid so when I came across one recently I was very excited, they’re still super cool.

Bunnies, squirrels and bears.

These are a few of a range of cards I did for Stuff for Africa. On the back it says they were done by a Karen Vermulen. Its not true I did them the e just got lost along the way...

little brandy man

This little dude is one of a few illustrations I did for a book on brandy. I don't like really like brandy even though I'm afrikaans and I think I'm supposed to down brandy and cokes whilst watching the rugby, I don't like rugby either. Anway the book actually won an gourmand award in the drinks category.

Yum yum

a T-shirt I did for Mingo Lamberti’s Nature range. It’s the foodchain.

Dream a little dream, and then look up what it means.

These were for an Afrikaans dream dictionary I did for Lapa publishers. I had to illustrate
almost all the letters of the alphabet, just left out the silly ones like q and c that we don’t use
in Afrikaans....

I heart hearts.

This was actually part of a storyboard but like a lot of advertising ideas it never happened, I still like it though. And it did get me a discount at the super lovely Villa Rivercat in Goa, India. Its a hotel/artist retreat where a picture gets you a discount on a room. If you ever go to Goa do go stay at the Rivercat, its beautiful and let me know if my picture really did make it up on the wall.

This is a wedding invite I did for my friend Claude’s brother and his fiance, there’s a message hidden in it.
