Gerhard van Wyk
Gerhard Van Wyk is an illustrator who is based in Cape Town, South Africa. He uses a mixture of techniques to create bright textural illustrations with vivid characters, strong concepts and storytelling elements. Gerhard draws inspiration from all over, with nature and the outdoors being one of his main passions outside of illustration, many of Gerhard’s illustrations are influenced by nature themes and exciting mythical and magical stories. Gerhard uses a restrictive colour palette to ensure that his detailed illustrations remain informative and clear, making him a popular choice for editorial features and publishing projects.
As a conceptual thinker, he believes that the best ideas come about through of the trinity of happiness. The trinity being riding a bicycle, sleeping in a tent and eating a chocolate sundae!
