Issue no: 02<br />
ReddiQal, the Polokwane based graphic designer and<br />
cartoonist possesses a radical skill in paying attention<br />
to fine detail.<br />
He's work is inspired by cartoons, most significantly<br />
“Zorro and Sehanyata(Hulk)” , Marvel and Dc Comics<br />
became his source of inspiration . “From grade 8 – 12,<br />
Graffiti was our main source of art form. It provided<br />
room for plenty of canvas, Building Walls, Bridges,<br />
Trains and there are no restrictions on how to express<br />
one-self. We had no art classes at our school, so we<br />
became underground artists as a way to avoid<br />
authorities. I think that is where the radical attitude was<br />
born.”<br />
“Most of my high school peers had no idea that I was an artist, only people who did it with me<br />
knew what I did. Due to the older stereotypical adult view of Graffiti as chaos, we later moved<br />
on to comic strips, mostly dissing the teachers or any form of authority, most of which were<br />
drawn during Maths or Physics class. Publicly I was well reserved and silent, but on the<br />
skills, I was a lunatic, and at times denying my own creations just so I could get the attention<br />
off my back.”<br />
Further education in general just opens one's mind to the limitless possibilities of growth,<br />
deeper understanding and more control over their skills across a variety of platforms.<br />
ReddiQal studied Art and Design at CJC (Central Johannesburg Collage) to enhance his<br />
already discovered potential. “I began learning the theory of what I can already practically<br />
do, and that is where my career in design began. I was introduced to the Adobe Creative<br />
Suite Package and I found a new love in 3Dimentional Art.”<br />
