Alex "AJ" Jacobs

Art is my reason for being. I have dedicated more than half of my life to the pursuit of honing my creative skills. I believe that art can be the vehicle for important messages & can serve as an outlet for any emotion - regardless of complexity.

Traditional Art

All traditional art is made with utmost attention to detail. I use watercolour, gouache (water based highly pigmented paint that dries to a matte finish), graphite & markers. The style varies depending on the piece but I mainly work in a loosely impressionistic style. I prefer to use bright colours that compliment eachother yet retain the natural values of the reference I am working with.The starting price for a traditional piece is R600.

Digital Art

I like to experiment with style and colour when doing digital art, but that varies depending on reference or the end-goal of the piece. I like to draw characters from novels or podcasts which allows me to practice imagination and creative thinking. I like to work in limited colour palettes or cohesive colours.The starting price for a digital piece is R200.

Graphic Design

I am trained in Adobe Illustrator and Canva. I have done branding for businesses in the past and love to come up with company names and logo designs. I like to design pieces for t-shirts and I enjoy creating stickers. I design digital cards for birthdays, holidays, etc. and laptop/phone wallpapers.The starting price for a graphic design is R200.
