in durban, interesting and local designers.
Greetings peeps 
Recently I sent out a blog about the Bigwood2 event which took place on the 18th of July in Durban.
We here at eSquared knew it was going to be a big one and that it was going to blow our minds…but to this extent…let me just say that the benchmark of up and coming funky South African art set by Bigwood just got BENCHMARKED by Bigwood2.
The amount of truly original work was just astounding, I don’t think anybody was ready for it…you could have walked around the place a hundred times and still not been able to take it all in and process the visual feast.
There was probably only one man, Trevor Paul, who knew what was going to unfold.
Hats off to Trevor for putting on a show that has rocked the artsy community ,with a mega-ton cannon of design power to the head.

Hi there one and all.
“Stories within stories”, this is the general outline of what Sebell envisaged for this really epic design.
It’s true some designs take elements from a vast array of different themes and ideas.
This design entitled Mix & Match is exactly that, a Mix Match of various things, which have been integrated beautifully to make a truly unique and beautiful design.
I hope the word beautiful doesn’t offset some of our more manly men, but in all honesty the character design is really at a level that is best described as beautiful.
Sebell has a look that is easily recognisable and has a style that we have come to expect from him.
The madness of lines with minimal colours used in conjunction with simple characters really compliments the overall design.
Not to mention we get a bit of Sebell “brain washing”…if you look deeper into the lines Sebells name pops right out at you…perhaps even in a sneaky hypnotic suggestion kinda way hahaha, jokes
What do you see in this image?
I see a half naked rocket man, a king yeti and a boyfriend more interested in floating sheep than his self indulgent girlfriend….am I going nuts? Wouldn’t be the first time LOL.
Mix & Match is one cool design which almost borders on the doodle category, but in actual fact couldn’t be further from it.
Sebell has done a really good job on this one, nice one my man…you can look forward to more of his cool styles like the recently submitted Fighter Pilot design which is already suuuuper popular.
Duncs.
