I have drawn and illustrated cartoons for all types of media, from comic strips, corporate and commercial cartoons to children's books.
I am also the co-creator of the comic strips Treknet, Koos, Mama Taxi, Ripples and Brak, which have been published in various newspapers and magazines throughout South Africa, Namibia and the USA.

A sketch I did for the St. Mary's library project at the Open Book Comics Fest last weekend.

What a journey! 10 years sped by like a.....well, like a taxi : ) 
Special thanks to Deni, for keeping the humour tank topped up, the newspapers and editors who have supported us over the years, and last but not least, all our friends and fans who have supported us with encouragement. Thank you : )

A timeline picture for the Treknet Facebook page and website. Brak has been contemplating space recently in the strip, dog being pioneers of space travel after all. You didn't ever hear of them sending cats to space, did you? Dogs rule! (space too). #brak #spacedog
