Pumped Up Kicks

So here's the result of the Toitoy X PUMA collaborative collection. Just to refreshhhh your memory, the theme was 'The streets you live on.' And I basically wanted to create awareness through this project. The name of my collection is Pumped Up Kicks which is the title of a song by Foster the People. The song deals with angry teens who have criminal intentions. Pumped up kicks were the shoes rich kids wore in the 90s and the States had a lot of cases where these kids would be targeted because they wore them. I directed my theme to the street violence in Johannesburg.   

1000 Drawings

1000 drawings is an annual event in Joburg where people give in their illustrations on an A5 paperat selected stores up until the 1000 drawings event. On the night, all the illustrations go up where people can purchase them for R100 each. The money goes to charity. I think it's such an amazing initiative. Here are some pics...

Here's what we came away with .........

I got the whole world...



I love maps! Particulary the maps you find in the National Geographic magazines. They are so colourful and lovely but they are hard to come by so I was really glad when I came accross a second hand bookstore where they sold NG magazines and there it was ... a magazine with a 'Map included' sticker on it. :) I had to get it framed.
