I HEART Jaco Haasbroek

We have featured South African artist Jaco Haasbroek once or twice before, and in his latest project, he takes the popular rebus created by Milton Glaser and has some fun with it. It’s cute, clever, and typically Haasbroek.

Have a look at his “I HEART” series after the jump.

Going Against The Grain: Jaco Haasbroek Does Z to A

We’ve featured the work of South african artist Jaco Haasbroek earlier (in case you missed it, click here), and it seems he has started a new project – to illustrate movie characters whose names start with a letter of the alphabet. This is what he has posted to his Flickr account.


Word has it that Jaco is looking for some suggestions from joe public. If you can think of some memorable movie characters to use, let us know in the comments and we’ll see if we can pass them onto him.

Update (December 9th): Ignore the above, the series is done and dusted. See them all on Jaco’s Facebook page.

And if you happen to like it, you can buy the prints – 250mm x 250mm, blockmounted, R250 excluding P&P. More on that here.

The Art of Jaco Haasbroek

Jaco Haasbroek is a South African artist who loves clean lines, minimalism, and long walks on the beach (I made that last bit up.)

Born in Pretoria, Haasbroek now lives in Cape Town and creates quirky illustrations, often with clever punch lines attached. Have a look at some of them below.

He also makes supremely cute plush toys. Tell him what you’d like and he’ll make one up for you. They’re all hand stitched, and start off at R350 for a standard toy (about 23 cm in height).

More details are available at his Haasbroek Art group on Facebook and check out his work at Flickr.
