Two portraits of friends created for 'MUGSHOT', an exhibition of portraiture stickers curated by Paper Snap Studio.
Each artist was asked to illustrate two special people in their lives to be immortalised as a sticker.
Peter Claassens
Peter is one of my best friends. He enjoys smoking, listening to Classic fm, drinking Mojito's, watching Bones, feeding his geese and making interesting art pieces. In conversation, he loves sharing random quotes from Death Becomes Her and The Golden Girls (even though I don't think he's ever actually watched the show).
Maggie de Vos
Maggie is one of my dearest friends. She enjoys a having glass of red wine, swearing, taking pictures of her schnauzer and creating colourful designs and illustrations. She's always watching either Disney animated films or Game of Thrones, and wears a colourful shade of lipstick when she wants to feel like a fancy pants.

A digital piece created for a group exhibition curated by Piet Grobler, titled KISS-ME-QUICK-AND-GO-MY-HONEY. For this piece, each illustrator was tasked with interpreting the exhibition title in any way they wanted.
‘Scarred’ is a series created by Angie Batis, Adi Koen & Nicola Cooper to empower women with scars from either illness, birth defects or accidents. The amazing women in the photographs wear their scars as badges of honour. I had the honour to illustrate on top of this beautiful photograph of Tarryn, portraying her as a beautiful and powerful warrior princess. See the full series:
