The excitement for this particular project, more than being able to do more of what he loves, was the exposure, shares André when commenting “letters get posted internationally, that probably meant more than the worth of the stamp [to me] actually. …Your name actually appears on the stamp. Although it’s very small, it’s there!”
We may live in a world where speed is valued, and hand drawn artwork is seldom used, yet André believes there is still a use for the skill. “I feel there is a place for it because there are effects and things that you get manually that you cannot really achieve on a computer.”
André spared a few minutes to unpack what living better, the ethos behind what we at The Insider SA strive to encourage, means to him.
