Well, he is known for several things, not just illustrations, but for animated films, engravings and collages. He became quite better known after appearing in the 1997 Johannesburg and Havana Biennale… He was born 69 years ago in Johannesburg, South Africa… He started creating animated films during the 1980’s… But, from 1975 to 1991 his love of theatre led him to become a member of «The junction avenue theatre company» in Johannesburg and Soweto. Then, in 1992 he began to act, direct and design sets for «The Handspring Puppet Company«. They did pieces by Woyzek, Fausto and Ubu Rey, where the pieces are done using marionettes, actors and animation… In 2004 his films were shown at the Cannes Film Festival…
