Lindokuhle's first toy.

I was recently asked by a colleague of mine, to design a toy for her little girl, Lindokuhle. Lindokuhle will be born really soon and will hopefully love her first (her mother's favourite) toy. It was a great honour for me to do this for them, so I just had to share it with you.

Enjoy.

Illustration Projects.

As most of you already know, apart from creating toys, I also love illustrating. I have updated my Behance profile with some of my latest illustration projects. Please go check it out, leave a comment or just share with a friend.

Long Overdue.

This post is surely long overdue and I can't believe so much time has passed since I last updated.

I recently started a collaboration with Babes in the Wood, called 'What a monstrosity' (or 'Monster Mannewales' in Afrikaans), and even though everything isn't finished yet, I thought it was worth sharing. I designed monster characters for them, to print on all sorts of fun things for a little boy's room - duvets, pillows etc. I was also asked to design Earffchild toys and these were inspired by the original monster drawings.

Nomo, I, Spyke & Grover are happy to finally get their 15 seconds eternity of fame.

Over & Out.

Lauree takes a nap.

I know, I know. You're all probably waiting in anticipation to know how the Exhibition went in December. Well, for a first time attempt, I'm very chuffed to say that some of our little softy friends have indeed found a new home and will help spread the word of my attempt at World Domination.

Other than that, I thought I'd share some of them with you. Lauree is first up on today's post. She is a cute little bird who can fly, just about anywhere. She proved to be quite popular at the exhibition and was definitely one of the best-sellers. If you were wondering why she's upside down. Well, she's just taking a short nap.

Secondly, we have Klowdy, who is indeed a happy little sunflower that will turn any gloomy day into a not-so-gloomy day. She's a must for any home (and an added bonus if you feel you should be part of my master plan).

he(art) in the Garden in the News

As I've mentioned a few weeks ago, some of my work was exhibited at he(ART) in the Garden. They've made a lot of headway during the first weekend of this year's exhibition and even made a few newspapers talk. Another, one-day-only exhibition will be held on the 16th of December, which promises to be something quite surreal. If you feel like taking it easy, while shopping for Christmas (which we all know, rarely happens) then you won't be disappointed.

Date. 16 December 2010
Time. 10:00 - 21:00
Address. 184 Fairways avenue, Tamara park, Centurion

Exhibition at he(ART) in the Garden

Hello.
Good news. Some of my work will be exhibited this coming weekend at he(ART) in the Garden. he(ART) in the garden started in 2006 with a handful of local artists exhibiting together. So, if you enjoy supporting local talent, then this is definitely a must-see. For more information, go to their Facebook page.








Here's some of the pieces I will be exhibiting there.

Itch puts a smile on my face, for the 3rd time :)

Hello. Everyone.

I submitted some of my toys as part of a project for Itch Magazine and got accepted. This is the first project 'formally' submitted under Earffchild's name, so I'm quite proud. Please go have a look, leave a comment or just enjoy.

Ciao for now :)
