Solange Knowles also known as my fairy-god-mother has recently joined Puma as a creative consultant working on their latest campaign. Needless to say, I love this! I'm not a massive fan of Puma or their sneakers but this will definitely make me consider a pair. I'm stopping buy their online store to give myself a look at what they have in-store.
What I thought most interesting about this piece of work is that it intro'd me to 4 inspiring young ladies I think you should know about too. Lord knows I love an inspiring young woman. There is a little more on WhoWhatWear as well as TeeTeeIsWithMe for your reading pleasure. Enjoy!
Here's our latest commercial. A piece of work that I will always be proud of.
The following ad is the inside story of this summer’s biggest event – Coca-Cola, the world’s biggest brand is putting peoples names on their cans and bottles. The story is a journey of a dog that’s trying to find its name on the new Coke cans. Through the dogs POV we see the exciting lifestyle of Johannesburg whilst meeting different types of teenagers across multiple sub-cultures all of whom are excited to find their names on cans. This journey tells a wonderful story of friendship and the connections that Coke brings whereas the setting and people give the commercial a sophisticated edge and cool that you’d only find in South Africa. Below is the making of which ends off with the ad. - If you don't have 5mins to watch the whole piece the you can watch the adhere.

This book is pure beauty. It's taken me a while to read because it's such an involving book. When my friend @ASearll lent it to me she said it was sad. I had no idea!! I found myself often drenched in tears deeply empathising with the characters - she leaves you no choice. Toni Mirrison is honestly one of the best writters I have been blessed to read. Reading her books is like experiencing colour or sugar or music for the first time. It's a poetically written journey of love/hate/growth/slavery/freedom/blackness/whiteness/master &savant/inhale/exhale/humaneness/animalism and many more journeys all in equal regard. I'm at a loss for words, so don't exept this as a book review, I do the book no justice. It's just me sharing a gem with you.
My friend Justice Mukheli showed me this style of illustration on Friday. I wanted to try it out so I decided to illustrate something my girl Maria said on Saturday. It moved me :)
