ZIGWA- “Your Brokers in Design”

I would like to highlight ZIGWA. It is a group doing a creative collective of work from photography, paintings drawings design of costumes, jewellery boxes  and more…Their aim is to provide quality service and ensure superior design solutions to their clients.

They have some great albums that cover Carnival and other aspects of everyday life.

I love their work in general but am more pleased with  the potential and direction they are headed. These guys can  make a huge impact on the carnivalscape…well on  the creative landscape in fact they may be the forerunners of  change.

 Stick around to see. I will be  following them for sure.

Check them  out at their website: http://www.zigwasix.com
