BioI am a freelance artist and illustrator. View my online portfolio:
Kathleen Cameron Illustration
I am the one half of the creative team MissYucki. MissYucki is a character and design project that I have collaborated on with my fellow artist and friend, Alba Poretti. This is my Travelogue. Here I try to keep a written record of my ramblings through the world in search of inspiration and curiosities for MissYucki and my own sanity.
"Since her humble beginnings as random doodles, MissYucki has grown into a complex and multifaceted character that embodies Alba and Kat’s desire to create, design and explore their world and their identities in South Africa and beyond.
MissYucki, the character, is a professional pavement princess and apprentice witch doctor. She is a lost child and little homeless street wanderer who, together with her guardians the muti monster tokoloshies parade the urban landscape hawking their trash treasure and magic medicines, adventuring through dreamscapes, city slums and suburbs. Her mythology is filled with characters including muti monsters, pageant princesses and curious dream- scape creatures, inspired by urban African pop culture.
Using a range of mediums, the artists create scenes and themes from the MissYucki character mythology as well as accessories and novelties inspired by the characters’ way of life."
