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.

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.

A large part of the joy of sketching caricatures at weddings around the Cape Winelands is getting to work in beautiful surroundings.
Jacqui and Ryan’s big day took place at Rupert And Rothschild Vinyards in the Franschhoek Wine Valley.
What a beautiful setting!

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!

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!

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!
