A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MYSELF. . . Firstly thank you for stopping by! My name is Mr. English, although my muggle name is Emile Engels. I'm an Illustrator and Graphic Designer, living and working in the city of Cape Town, South Africa. I grew up with a wild imagination, I could never sit still and coincidentally I got, “Is easily distracted and distracts others” on every report card of mine since I was 6 years old. I mean, that’s got to count for something, right? Oddly enough, my passion for drawing only started when I moved to Cape Town in 2015. Moving here was a weird adjustment and making art and drawing became a coping mechanism that I fell in love with. Soon I went from being a self-taught artist, to studying Graphic Design at Ruth Prowse School of Art in Woodstock, Cape Town. I focus mainly on digital illustrations and graphic design. A lot of my work is influenced by pop culture and childhood nostalgia. I believe that a person’s core creativity is linked to their childhood and that it is important to tap into that raw fun creative side of a person’s childhood. I’m always up for a challenge, and I love learning new things that help me grow as a person. If you'd like to have me on board for one of your projects, or just want to say hello, feel free to send me an email at _Email not available.
