My dude!

La Petite mag's new issue came out a the beginning of the month, and so was this beautiful series of images taken of my little dude Noah. The photographer is the very talented Justin Badenhorst. I love these pictures. I know it is my son, and the photographer is my husband, so yes I am completely and utterly bias but still, this is one of my favourite shoot taken by Justin.

a beautiful editorial shot for Papier Mache.

I woke up this morning and downloaded the 2012 digital Year Book from Papier Mache which is such a treat! It is a lovely way to share with us again some of the magazine's best images of the year. Here is one story I really love shot by Delphine Jouandeau. These images are the perfect example of less is more, I love the simplicity of it.

A preview of Mini-Rodini's SS13 collection!

Here is a sneak peak at Mini-Rodini's summer collection for next year, named " Bon Voyage". This collection is inspired by the Love Boat and Captain Cousteau. My dude would be in love with this collection as he is fascinated by the maritime world.  As per usual, Mini-Rodini's quirky artwork is unbelievable! I especially love the puffer fish! This collection includes clothes for any occasion: light woven shirts, shorts and blouses, super cute sneakers and white denim.
You can certainly get excited for the summer to come with collections like these!!!

Loving this local artist, Simon Lee.

Cape Town is a village, it's true. We all seem to know one another, all related somehow. So when I was looking for a new illustrator to do some artwork for my kids range, it didn't take me long to find Simon, who was a friend of a friend of a friend.... My friend had described his work as a little dark and quirky, those words clearly resonated with me! I couldn't wait to meet him and see some of his work. I wish I could show you his sketch book, his drawings are amazing, yes a little dark and quirky which I love! He emailed me some his work which he was exhibiting in Jo'burg ( images above). Here is getting to know a little more about Simon:

1. WWKA: Simon, where do you get your inspiration from?
 I'm not really sure, but I get inspired when I notice something in life that has the potential to generate an interesting and original idea. Again, I can't really pinpoint these situations, they just happen. In short, I guess I just draw.
2.WWKA: Do you have a favourite subject to draw?
I most enjoy abstract images with interesting perspectives and fine detail, often combined with more recognizable images, such as animals.
3. WWKA: what do you want to do when you grow up?
Ha, absolutely no clue. An acrobat. No, I don't know.
4.WWKA: What band are you listening to at the moment?
Maps and Atlases. And Knxwledge. And Foals.
5. WWKA: what did you have for breakfast?
 Futurelife and boiled eggs
