Thandolwethu Mashicila x Creative Nestlings "A Real Creative in Transit" Tshirt

"A Real Creative in Transit" T-shirt
Part of the Creative Nestlings Artist Series, celebrating young African creatives

About the Design
Created in collaboration with Johannesburg-based visual designer Thandolwethu Mashicila, this t-shirt captures the essence of creative evolution. The design reflects Thandolwethu's belief that "true creatives are never stagnant" – creativity isn't just a moment, but a constant state of being.

Design Story
"My design thinking process begins with looking at a moodboard then thinking about the composition. The composition is vital in making the design palatable and congruent to the message. The message being 'A real creative in transit' means that true creatives are never stagnant. Creativity is not a moment but rather a constant state of being." - Thandolwethu Mashicila
