Wooosh! T-shirt @ CSS

So stoked to collaborate with the legendary The Corner Surf Shop with this awesome print. This shop has been a part of my life as for many others growing up in Cape Town I’m sure. So to have a print of mine on one of their tees is just amazing. Thanks TCSS for the opportunity. Get down to the corner quick while stocks last. 😎👍🌊🏄🏽‍♂️

Wave Art Exhibition

An invitation to come and meet me and see where I do my thing. This coming weekend I will be taking part in the Noordhoek Open Studios. I will be one of the 23 artists opening up their work spaces for all of you to come and have a nose around. Maps and tickets are available at the new Noordhoek Art Point art gallery behind ‘The Smartie wall’ at the Sun Valley end of Noordhoek main road. Tickets are R20 per studio or R100 for a day pass, which goes directly to MasiSports. Please support us and MasiSports by inviting your friends and making a day of it. It will be amazing. Hope to see you over the weekend, Gavin

Oh, oh, oh It's magic! A little retro vibe for this weeks #doodletuesdaychallenge with @andy_stonehouse_illustrator The Doodle Tuesday is an Instagram challenge initiated by Andy Stonehouse, just for fun, but, like the Inktober challenge, are a great way of stretching your creative muscle. Each week you are given a new word to doodle and post on your Instagram page. Magic has always been part of our family, with one of my uncles being a member of the prestigious Magic Circle in London. It was always cool when he came to visit. Image having an uncle who could make money come out from behind your ear. I never understand why he wasn’t fabulously wealthy. In a way, drawing ✍🏻 cartoons is a little like magic too. Making any object appear out of thin air with just a few waves of a magic 🪄 pencil.

Come down to the @hangtencafe_muizenberg and check out my Surf Art Exhibition. A collection of my pop art inspired cartoon paintings. On thoughout March and April. Grab a coffee or croissant 🥐, rent a surfboard or buy some art, it’s all happening at Muizenberg.

Lockdown 2020, remember that? No slip-slops (flip-flops to the rest of you) no cigarettes or alcohol! 🍷🙀 We ran rings around our flats and gardens, we brewed our own beer and grew our own ‘smokes’ 🚬 💨 We took up painting and music and various other creative endeavors, we zoomed, we groomed, we clapped our hands and sang from our balconies, but most of all, we overcame. This limited edition archival print is the perfect memento, lest we forget what we all went through in the 2020 Lockdown. Available as an A3 (R900) A2 (R1200) and A1 (R1500) Giclée print.
