_All Originals: I-Art-Soweto

It was such a blessing get an email about this project, last month. This is a really dope project curated by A WORD OF ART. It started in Woodstock, Cape Town a few months ago. Now, in the beginning of this month, a group of artists got together for a weekend to paint beautiful murals on the walls of Mofolo Park, Soweto.

It was a weekend to remember… Meeting up with some of the coolest street artists, like HacOne, the man behind Satta Design, Freddy Sam ( A WORD OF ART ), Fuzzy Slippers ( Mafuta Ink ), just to name a few.  It was a really inspirational weekend. The response from the community was really cool. Giving back to the community via Street Art.

_LDBK x Manzi x Soweto

Thank you Veuch at Manzi for giving a second life to the LDBK Soweto logo designed by
Mpumelelo Macu.

In June 2010, I organized a contest on Laid Back’s Facebook page. The best pictures including the Laid Back logo would receive a copy of the Audiocentric album

Mpumi not only included the Laid Back logo in his submission, he totally reworked it with a South African twist. Needless to say that he won the competition… Since then I promised him that we would do something more with his logo.

Fast Forward…

A couple of weeks, Veuch – Brussels based artists and manager of Manzi – told me that he was willing to offer some printed canvases to the Laid Back community. Next week we will invite you to share your art with us to get a chance to win it printed on a canvas.

But first we tested the system with the LDBK Soweto logo… Dope design, great print quality and more important a very Laid Back collaboration!

Check this out.

_Laid Back Radio

So this is how it goes… I am on facebook the other day and I notice that Laid back Radio (One of my favourite radio stations) had a contest. I was longing for some interest stuff to do and I thought, hey why not. So I downloaded their logo and started crafting.

Today, I’ve been having a dope day coz of the cats from Laid Back Radio. Got a DM on twitter and they were letting me know how much my logo was being appreciated in Brussels, Belgium. I got abit overwhelmed coz  I was also reassured that alot of cool things were about happen, all because of this work.

I would like to take a minute and thank all the guys that supported me on this contest (I know I’ve said this a number of time on Facebook and Twitter. ) and damn this was an awesome experience. To my studio83 mag fam, thanks for showing me love, George you are a legend.
