Our #TalentTuesday is none other than South African animator and illustrator, Katlego Kgabale. If you have seen any of her works then you already know that she is a bundle of talent and if you have not seen any of her works before we are here to have you convinced!
The 24-year-old creative artist is based in Johannesburg, South Africa and currently working as a junior animator at Animoss Media. We found her works through her Behance page and were immediately wowed. Kady, as she is popularly known, has been making her waves in the art world recently and seeing her works we feel like we are transported into our childhood.
Kady states, “I taught myself the techniques by looking at other artists’ works. I still have a long way to go but I don’t think I’m doing too badly so far!. I thought of the relationships that people/children have with their pets and I guess it all came together from there.”
See some of her past illustration series below!
KIDS - “Children do the silliest, funniest things. I decided to do this series because I thought it would be interesting to get into the mind of a child and see the world through their eyes”

My Hero - A girl saved from firey danger by something unexpected
Would you like a cup of death?
The story behind this is about a young woman who’s about to get married, she’s getting ready in her bridal room and there’s a cup of tea on the table with the note: ‘Cup of tea for you, it’ll help you relax’. Little does our bride know that it’s actually from a mystery woman who’s secretly in love with her husband-to-be and wants her out of the picture – so, her tea has been poisoned.
Beast Friends Forever
This was the first series she worked on. The basic idea behind this was a photoshoot with children showing the relationships they have with their alien pets.
Don’t you just love her illustrations?
