Watercolour Caricatures for Wedding Place Cards

By

I was com­mis­sioned by Dora and Scott to draw car­i­ca­tures from pho­tos for them to use as place card set­tings at their wed­ding recep­tion.
These car­i­ca­tures were drawn with ink and paint­ed in water­colour on water­colour paper.
I love sketch­ing at wed­dings, but I also enjoy the more pas­toral expe­ri­ence of work­ing from my stu­dio in Stel­len­bosch.

Blackboard Bungle Children’s Poem

By

When­ev­er I’m dri­ving my car to an event, I’m always think­ing up poems. I often send the work in progress to my dad, the author Tinus Horn. We’ll send it back and forth each adding a line or a stan­za or swap­ping a word for a bet­ter one.
Then once we are both hap­py with the poem, I sharp­en my pen­cils, whip out the water­colours, and start draw­ing. I love the col­lab­o­ra­tion process!
I’m hop­ing to pub­lish the poems as a book.

 

Cape Town Wonderful Winter Workshop day 1

By

Tra­cy Pre­to­rius from Bright Blue Trav­el Mar­ket­ing invit­ed me to sketch car­i­ca­tures of all the guests attend­ing her Trav­el Indus­try work­shop.
It was a plea­sure to work with Tra­cy and Gayle! 
Lots of laughs were had and the guests loved their car­i­ca­tures.

Digital Caricatures at The Argyle Woodstock Cape Town

By

I sketched live dig­i­tal car­i­ca­tures for Verb SA at an event at The Argyle in Wood­stock ear­li­er this year. I had just bought a new Wacom Tablet and this was the per­fect oppor­tu­ni­ty to put it to the test.
I sketched 20 guests per hour!

Thanks Zaza and Peter for the book­ing!

Baby Party sketches

By

As a car­i­ca­ture artist I sketch at all kinds of events, and last week­end I was asked by Wilan­di and Mar­co to sketch at the “Koek en Tee” par­ty for their 6 month old baby.

The guests were all up for a laugh, and it was nice to see a pre­vi­ous car­i­ca­ture por­trait I had sketched of Wilan­di and Mar­co framed on their wall.
Con­grats you two, and thanks for the book­ing!

Caricatures at STIAS in Stellenbosch

By

Liv­ing in Stel­len­bosch it is a great plea­sure to be able to sketch at events at The Uni­ver­si­ty and STIAS.
This group was such an inter­est­ing bunch all study­ing in a wide vari­ety of fields. 
It was great chat­ting to them and draw­ing their car­i­ca­ture por­traits.

 

Thanks to Clau­dia for the book­ing!
