In 1984, on the day I was born, I drew my conclusion:
I want to draw not only conclusions, but also pictures.
Now, that's what I do. I've drawn my whole life.
For a large amount of my life as a little boy, I drew
soccer-players. When I was in primary school
(and World Cup ‘94 was happening) I even sold portraits
of various players. I also drew cartoons for the
teachers, when they asked me. Thinking about it now,
maybe that's the reason my marks were quite good.
  In highschool I didn't give any cartoons to the
teachers, and would you believe it: my marks dropped
drastically, especially in maths and science.
So I decided to draw the whole day. My maths-book
looked like a sketchbook. After my day drawing at the
school I teached art to primary school kids at my home.
I had forty students at that time.   The obvious choice
was to study some arty-thing. In 2003 I enrolled in
Information Design at the University of Pretoria .
Not so arty! I noticed that my illustration-skills were
much better than my design-skills, so when I graduated
in 2006, I decided to start a freelance illustration career.
  Now I am freelancing. I draw the whole day.
I enjoy working with watercolours, charcoal, pencils,
oil paints, pen and ink, coffee (with hot milk and no
sugar) and acrylics. I think I can work in a large variety
of styles and media.   In my spare time, I write
children's books (not yet published though) and draw.
I don't really know the difference between working and
spare time, because I draw all the time. But sometimes,
when no one is looking, I secretly go down the nostalgia-
road and draw some soccer-players...
