Hello! I’m Rudi de Wet, a graphic artist, based in Cape Town :)

Rudi de Wet Studio is an independent studio, based in Cape Town (South Africa). The studio produces work for a variety of media and environments, for local and international clients, from concept to craft.

Rudi de Wet is a graphic artist whose work is characterised by bold, colourful and energetic executions. He specialises in illustration, hand drawn type, character illustration, interior artwork and pattern design

Biography:
After studying a BA (Hons) Visual Communication, with majors in graphic design and illustration at the University of Stellenbosch (South Africa), Rudi became one of the founding members of the Am I Collective in 2005, a well-respected and highly sought-after creative studio (now called Bewilder).

Rudi worked at Am I Collective for a few years and then made the move to Brisbane (Australia). After a brief stint in various advertising agencies, he moved to Melbourne and started his own studio, Rudi de Wet Studio, in 2008. 

He feels privileged to have worked with many amazing clients and agencies over the years:
