A preparatory sketch of something I'm making for the Haas Collective coffee shop opening, hoping it's going to be done in time (with a few friends for the weasel).

I think the opening is around the 12th/13th/14th of March, I'm not sure, they haven't advertised the event yet. Hopefully they will soon so I can correct this post and avoid looking like too much of a pillock. Anyway, it's in the BoKaap (Cape Town) and it should be cool.

The Ever-flowing Tide

• THE EVER-FLOWING TIDE

• This body of work comprises type and line drawings made digitally

  with vectors, as well as pen drawings made by hand. Some of the handmade

  drawings have been scanned into a computer and printed out, while others

  have been made directly on the paper in accordance with vector grids.

  The prints are produced through a digital lithography process a primarily

  analogue method of printmaking for digital work.

  
  

  In these works I attempt to challenge the values and motivations involved

  in creative and productive process. I have used the language of information

  architecture to express these concerns, highlighting the vanity of this

  excessive production through seemingly nonsensical graphs and diagrams.

  These concerns grew predominantly out of my study and work as a graphic

  designer, where considerable worth is placed on productivity and work rate,

  and quantitative values appear to prevail over the qualitative.
