KHAYA AND THE BENCH BUDDIES

Khaya was born in Tshwane, South Africa, where he still lives and works. His passion for cartoons was first sparked by the foreign translated cartoons featured on South African TV during his childhood.

At the age of nine, Khaya first tried his hand at drawing his cartoons and gradually got more and more involved in the genre. However, it was not until watching the movie ‘Spirited Away’ in 2004 that he realised he wanted to turn his passion into a career.

During 2006 and 2007 Khaya devoted himself wholeheartedly to mastering the art of drawing cartoons, experimenting with many different illustrative styles and techniques on the way. Khaya is now well on his way to making his cartoonist dream a reality.

PAWEŁ KOZŁOWSKI AND THE COMPETITION

He was born in Warsaw, in 1980, and belongs to the transformation generation. This has allowed him to experience two realities: a grey and a colourful one, as he calls them.

His early childhood was spent in what was still Communist Poland. All the political and social changes that took place in the country after 1990 had a strong influence on him and formed his way of looking at the world. His work spreads in many different ways, from painting and drawing to clothing and motion design.
