Happy Birthday Jen!

Hi All,

We've been so busy lately that we've barely had time to think about what to wear each morning, let alone find something to post about to keep you all entertained!

But, we've found a little something to share with you!

It was Jen's birthday on the 27th of Feb, and because it's so difficult to get international orders delivered on time, I realised I had to make another plan fast. So I did something she always appreciates.

Here's a look at the illustration I did for her as a gift, it's of her little noo, Riley with her silly face on.

Enjoy the weekend everyone!

Little Lamb

Hi All,

Here's a peek at an illustration I did for a close friend, whose best friend has a bambino on the way with a sweetly themed lamb room. 

The illustration is A4 in size, and I worked with water colour pencils and fine liners.

Wishing the soon to be parents a magical and memorable few years of upcoming babyhood!

Love

Croft&Co

Well hello there February! So amped that January has been given the boot, and we only have to force ourselves through it again in another year. Good riddance.

On a lighter note, here is some work that we did at the end of last year for Croft&Co in Parkview. An awesome little coffee shop in the process of a transformation, that Jen and I are going to be involved in over the next few months. We really couldn't be more excited to help build this quirky brand and work with these more than fun people! Below you'll see the start of a great relationship, just four illustrations, that helped open the door to more exciting things to come.

We were recently there for our monthly meeting/ business meeting/ coffee break/ catch up and decided to include you on a part (only the start) of our adventure with Croft&Co.

I probably should have included pictures of what we ate there, but as soon as it hit the table I was on that like white on rice.

Drop by for one of the best cappuccinos you'll ever have and some good eats! You'll be going there every day after that. 66 Tyrone Avenue, Parkview.

AVD - Audio Visual Staging Corporate Brochure

One last post for the year! 

With the help of our talented friend and copywriter - Jenny Coulson - we created this simple corporate brochure design for AVD. A company who specialise in providing hotels, meeting planners, associations and various corporations with the technical requirements necessary for successfully hosting their events and functions. 

Can barely believe that the year is almost over but also glad that it is, and very ready to take on 2013. We hope you all can relax, party and get ready for 2013 before January knocks on your door! 

Love

'Tis The Season!

Yummy Presents!

Yesterday Jen and I traipsed all over Johannesburg, delivering these little goodies to some of our super clients! We can't really believe that it's that time of year already - but we're also kinda glad that it is! It's been a long and sometimes grim year, but I'm glad to say that Jen and I have come out of it all with smiles on our faces (Especially because of a few special people we get to work for and with.)

Our friend Meg, from The Counter, managed to find these great original Cuban Cigar boxes which we just had to get our grubby little paws on. Better than that - she filled them with her most delicious treats (A Brownie to die for, Rocky Road that makes you weak at the knees and a bottle of Salted Caramel which makes you feel as if you've just had the dirtiest, but sexiest, affair.) Even better - the money spent on the boxes goes to charity!

So, we thought we'd put something together for all of those people who have made our jobs that little bit easier and pleasant this year!

Thank You!

Higher Ground Menu

Here is a small peak at the menu designs we did for Higher Ground - for the launch of their new summer menu. You can view more of the menu on eat out.

We were lucky enough to try a few dishes from the menu when we were briefed on doing the designs, and wow-wee were we impressed! It's amazing how a few ingredients put together can make you "feel" summer. This is what I ate -

Salmon and Chickpea Salad - Smoked salmon, chickpeas, red onion, feta cheese, basil pesto and avocado. Makes me hungry again just thinking about it!

The menu has proven to be a hit with their regulars! If you haven't had a chance to try out any of the new dishes yet, be sure to book a table this week: (011) 024 - 3433.
