Keith and The Girl

| Danielle Geva

When I first heard about Keith and The Girl (KATG) I wasn’t really open to the concept. I’m a very visual person and find it hard to pay attention to audio. But 4 years later, I find it hard to go through a week without a dose of this awesome podcast.

During my first year of University I decided to give the podcast a try, and was instantly hooked. I should mention that some of the content is intense, and KATG is definitely not for those who get easily offended. However, their candidness is very appealing. The podcast is vastly different than the familiar radio show format. Keith, an award winning comedian, and his partner Chemda, a world-renowned singer, speak honestly about almost everything and do not hide behind fake exteriors.

Spreadshirt

Creating art, writing a blog, or recording music usually works best when you have an audience. The support from your audience, in addition to the sheer motivation to continue to create, is enough to inspire anybody.

At first it was hard to translate my sketches to Illustrator, but I learned how to use the program to create a new kind of art. I still find it hard to explain how to use Illustrator and Photoshop but once I start my creativity flows and amazing images are created.

DGC is my creative outlet and therefore I regard my designs as more than just a skill learnt.

Visual Pollution

| Danielle Geva

Ever look into the dark and see things that aren’t really there or make out faces in random objects. I’m not talking about the beginning of a horror film, I’m talking about slightly overactive imagination that allows us to see innocent objects as something extraordinary until our brain recognizes the truth. The new line ‘Visual Pollution’ will consist of designs that are just that. The designs are inspired from random shapes in the dark as well as images seen in smoke. I always see the weirdest things in smoke, and will try my best to communicate those onto DGC t-shirts. Hopefully one day the unnatural smoke will be eliminated and the visions will roam free.
