The Cape Town-based illustrator, Russell Abrahams, recreated the letter G for the online and social media campaign, #GraphicArtMonth.
Describe the room you are sitting in
My car! I had to quickly stop off at a friend’s house because I forgot to send this mail. #typicalcapetonian
What is your ID name?
I used to work under the name Fatlip. It was a nickname during high school, which I used as an alias. I have dropped it this year and I work under my real name, Russell Abrahams. I think I just grew out of that name/alias.
When was your last birthday and how old did you turn?
I turned 23 on the 12th of January. So, I’m still a baby, right?
What’s it like to live and work in Cape Town now?
The best part about working in Cape Town is that I have become friends with a lot of illustrators and designers that I always looked up to since I was in college. Just from being in the CBD, I have been able to make connections with a lot of like-minded people. Which is great.
