This artwork was commissioned by Friends of Design. A digital design college based in Cape Town, South Africa. This illustration has been used on T-shirts, marketing material and on the web. In the heart of creativity there is always thought, speech, creative fire, light bulbs going off in the form of ideas and crazy things that some-times make no sense, but some-how it all works.

Silver Wishes are filled with love, happiness, peace and good luck. Each little wish sends good energy to the person who wears it. They are made by hand from sterling silver. There are 5 Silver Wishes in this series.

Little Guy Robot
Being courageous is a higher or nobler kind of bravery. In the face of perils or difficulties without fear and even with enthusiasm, you can face up to all sorts of challenges. When you need extra courage to be courageous, Little Guy Robot will be there to remind you that all you need to do is just shed your fear, hold him tight and with all your energy just be courageous.

Biscuit Boy
Biscuit Boy wants us to remember that we can do anything we put our minds to, we just need believe in ourselves. He knows that we all are amazingly unique we just need to believe that we are. No matter what anyone else thinks. We can all achieve great things, it just takes one person to start making a change.

Hearty
Hearty represents dreams of the heart. He reminds us that we shouldn’t be afraid to believe in our dreams and approach them with love especially from the heart. Even if they start to grow a wing or two, at least they are growing and so are you.

Jelly Fish Jane
Jelly Fish Jane represents Joy. She loves smiling and making those around her feel loved and happy. Wear your Jelly Fish Jane and she will make you feel super duper joyous. Of course you do know that she can’t do all the work alone, she does need you to put on a small smile and think some positive cool thoughts, because you’re way to groovy not too.

Mermaid Money
From deep in the oceans all around the world, these shells were collected and made into beautiful charms that can be worn around the neck. They remind us to love not only ourselves but the world around us. May this mermaid money bring you good fortune and love.

Rain makes me melt

2009-10-27T06:34:00.000-07:00

Rain drips down from the cloud above my head.
Pitter, patter on my hoodie.
Pitter, patter on my shoulder.
Pitter, patter on my face.

I have an allergy to rain; I'm allergic to water. There is no doubt that I will melt when I come into contact with large amounts.

I warned my mum whenever she tried to bath me. I explained to her that I would just melt and then disappear, it would be the end of me if water were to seep into my skin.

She took my warning very seriously and never encouraged me to bath ever again. But now I stand here in a bit of a predicament, I have a rain cloud over my head and tiny drops of water seeping into my skin. It's too late to find shelter, I may as well just stand here and subject myself to the pitter patter of wet death.

The taste of love

2009-06-24T07:27:00.000-07:00

I went food shopping in None and found a box of love neatly placed amongst the cereals in aisle 4. It was nicely packaged and smelt tempting, I shook the box and small flakes rattled around. On taking it home I tore open the box of love shaking out the heart shaped flakes into my cereal bowl, I lifted the bowl to my nose and caught a whiff of vanilla and honey. I hastily scooped a spoon full of love into my mouth, crunching down on the little hearts with my teeth. The taste was amazing, so sweet and soft, yet deliciously fulfilling. The taste brought on the sensation of walking on air, I had my head in the clouds and my feet off the ground. Suddenly the flakes transformed into butterflies in my mouth, swooping down into my tummy and tickling me; making me feel silly. I grasped for air and exhaled slowly, the experience had been so overwhelming, my cheeks had even turned a rosy red making me glow ever so slightly. The world felt as if it held endless possibilities and hope. I felt as if I were standing on top of it and smiling down at all creation. Just one mouthful of love had such a strong effect, I couldn't take another mouthful, no just yet ... I leaned back in my chair and touched my heart; I had almost forgotten what love tastes like.

Beyond sunrise

2009-06-23T13:37:00.000-07:00

I once went swimming with a jelly fish, he sparkled in the sunlight and looked so beautiful in the clear salty ocean. He told me to follow him beyond the sunrise to where he lives in the depths of nothing, a place of dreams, an ocean of crystal thoughts. I was taken by the offer, I had never been asked to go beyond the sunrise with a jelly fish before. I bobbed up and down in the water and imagined this land of jelly fish and dreams. As my imagination drifted off with the breeze, I caught a glimpse of the jelly fish gesturing me to follow him. His long legs swaying and flowing, calling me to come. I swam closer and he moved backwards, always just out of reach. The sunrise seemed like a far away place and I began to doubt my ability to make it there. I stopped and looked back, the beach was becoming smaller and the ocean larger. I told the jelly fish that I won't make it to his land. I had thought it was possible but the reality was we were different, I needed earth. His promise of taking me to this land started to loose it's appeal, I was choking on the salt water ... I was drowning. I couldn't die alone with my jelly fish friend out in this cold ocean. Had things been different, had I been a mermaid possibly that would have allowed me the chance to go see his world. The jelly fish smiled and told me to just be patient; the poison of his sting was taking longer than expected. I had left my body and I was swimming in the ocean of his thoughts. The sun was setting, the water was crystal and darkness was settling in, he turned to me and smiled; we had reached our destination.

At the end of the rainbow

2009-06-23T12:45:00.000-07:00

Once upon a time in the sky of None lived a tiny little dust squirt. This little dust squirt was curious and wondered what he could find at the end of the rainbow. He decided to follow the rainbow all the way through the clouds and across the heavens. Dust squirt had to flap his wings and speed up before the rainbow disappeared and he lost his chance to reach the end. Luckily for him the heavens were full of clouds and it started to gently rain making the rainbow brighter and brighter and the end seeming almost a spec on his horizon. Dust squirt wasn’t getting any closer, for all his attempts had seemly failed and he doubted whether the rainbow truly had an end. The flying had made him tired and he decided to take a little rest on a cloud nearby. Lying on his back he looked up at the sky and the translucent rainbow above him. To his surprise he saw that the skies were filled with angels, their tears where his raindrops. The rainbow he had been chasing was in fact just the tears of angels made visible. Little dust squirt realized that his attempts had been in vain, there was no end to a rainbow of angel tears ...

I dream of scary monsters

2009-06-22T10:27:00.001-07:00

I used to think there were monsters under my bed. I would dream about them and when I woke I could hear them scratching under my bed. They followed me to school and watched me do my homework, I often caught a glimpse of them peering at me through the cracks in my floor board. But when I got a little older I realized that the monsters weren’t under my bed, they were in my my head. This posed a more worrying concern, if they were in my head that meant they were with me all the time and not just under my bed... I ran out of ideas and so I had to face them and befriend them or they would lurk there behind the scenes and in the darkness of my mind.

The Mum-Chuck of certain crime

2009-06-22T10:00:00.002-07:00

Once upon a time there was a small creature called a Mum-Chuck. The creature was cute and unassuming, an unlikely subject for awful crimes. But don’t let appearances fool you, this Mum-Chuck is deadly he’ll snap you in just one fast blow. His tongue may stick out in a cute fashion but beware he is in fact mocking you, taunting you, asking for trouble. So what does this Mum-Chuck have do with you? Absolutely nothing what-so-ever. But if you see this cute fellow know that the best way to steer clear of him and his awful crimes is to just throw money at him, preferably 5 cent coins. Pretend that his cuteness holds no power over you, remember his cuteness is mocking you. No matter what a Mum-Chuck tells you, don’t feed it after 12pm, don’t shower it with cream pies and donuts, Bar-ones and short bread biscuits and under no circumstances allow them watch Sponge Bob or really good TV shows. These Mum-Chucks are wild animals of the imagination that cannot be tamed with human enjoyments. Instead leave them grasping on their 5 cent coin in desperate humiliation of their worthlessness. But then again who could be so cruel to such a sweet little Mum-Chuck? Only a silly person who becomes an unlikely victim of their most certain criminal acts of cuteness.
