I get rather sentimental some days when I look at old work I've done and think about the potential our country has in so many ways. What obviously influences me most is the African aesthetic - design-wise, there's loads of potential. We are blessed with much that is indigenous to us and it's a great joy for me to cartoon such things. The bonus is to watch kids' faces light up when they look at my work. This little medley of animals was a book cover for an educational story about an elephant that ran away and got lost and then found his way home again. Hence his happy face. I guess the monkeys got it down for being my favourite characters in this pic.
