We had a really great sit down with aspiring concept artist Natasha Rossouw. She specialises in portrait painting, character illustration and environments. What we really loved about her work is that it leaned into darker topics and themes. "I particularly love this, for me, it creates so much intrigue and suspense. It really adds to your viewing pleasure but hey that's me." - Kate Hilson

How do you design for yourself? I still ask myself that everyday. I think most designers, creatives, artists do. If the possibilities are endless. If you're your biggest critique. You are both client and designer . This can be one of the hardest parts of designing for yourself. There is that lack of a second pair of eyes and a reassurance that someone else sees the design as it is. There is no exchange of money. The transaction does not seem concrete. No critiquing eyes.
