Some details for another piece I made for my ‘Counterfactuals’ exhibition with @maaike00 opening at @davidkrut.nyc on 12 September.

Last year around this time @maaike00 and I found out we had been awarded the Ampersand Fellowship where we'll have the opportunity to live in New York for a month. It felt like receiving a letter from Hogwarts.
That month is now just a few weeks away and I'm starting to share some of the works I've been producing for our duo show called 'Counterfactuals' opening at @davidkrut.nyc on 12 September.
NYC folks - who's still in town?

“It is clear, from both the experiences unpacked

“It is clear, from both the experiences unpacked in these texts as well as the roundtable proceedings, that nothing meaningful can be achieved without collaboration and community.” - David Paton

@maaike00 and I (as @soft_serve_projects ) had the honour of doing the creative direction for the publication Artists’ lo-fi, DIY and Alternative Publications in South Africa. It began as a roundtable discussion at Jack Ginsberg Centre for the Book Arts last year, chaired by Prof. David Paton. David approached us to put together a printed publication and we decided to print each essay as its own Risograph zine, put together as a lucky packet.

A massive thank you to @dani.ella.creates and @bibiscreativeclub for the design, @callums.artsymess , @pagesandleaves and @doodle_noodles00 for printing and @wetink_fine_art_printing for cropping and binding. All of you went beyond what was expected.

The exhibition opening and publication launch (limited copies available) is happening this Saturday (2 Aug) from 11:00 at @now_gallery_openwindow . Link in bio for more info.

One of the things you’ll find on my new site is that I now sell tattoo tickets for R350 (link in my linktree).

What’s a tattoo ticket? It’s a small donation that gives you my permission to use or adapt one of my existing illustrations for a tattoo. You’ll get a downloadable certificate to show your tattoo artist, and you’re welcome to request a high-res file from me so your tattoo doesn’t look like beast Jesus. (There’s nothing stopping you from just getting the tattoo without my permission, but a tattoo ticket is just better manners:)
