Dick (aka Disko) is a 3D illustrator and sculptor based in Cape Town. A natural-born experimenter, he tests, stretches and redraws creative boundaries at every stage of a project – from concept to final product. Ferdi brandishes a diverse range of 3D illustration skills, including rich textures, liquid depiction (splashes, droplets and fluid effects on objects), 3D typography, photorealistic packs
hots, character illustration, figurines and sculptural mimicry. Largely self-taught, he has honed his craft through years of experience working on projects for both local and global clients. With a creative process that places emphasis on tactile art and the sculptural form, it’s no surprise that Ferdi recently ventured into sculpture as a sideline endeavour – this creative outlet providing a lively synergy with his original discipline. His sculptures are largely character-driven, with a comical, childlike and edgy quality. They start out as digital models, find material form via 3D printing, and finally are cast in bronze. The result of these creative feats is a body of work that plays superbly in the overlap between digital and tangible.
