Just juice

Never underestimate the potential and ability of the ballpoint pen. iJusi have dedicated an entire magazine to singing its praises.


The much-anticipated Ballpoint Pen Edition of iJusi Magazine is here. Issue 25 signals the relaunch of the magazine, after a financially-constrained hiatus of about three years.

To sustain the ongoing production of the magazine, Rooke Gallery and Garth Walker co-published the successful iJusi portfolio in April 2010, which has since formed part of museum collections around the globe.

Featuring ballpoint pen artworks by 34 artists including Michael MacGarry, Richard Hart, Anton Kannemeyer, Lorcan White and Roger Ballen, this is a not-to-be-missed edition but it’s not for sale. Unfortunately. Try asking them nicely.

Garth Walker

Garth Walker trained as a graphic designer and photographer at Technikon Natal in Durban in the mid 1970s.

He later founded Orange Juice Design in Durban in 1995, one of South Africa’s best-known graphic design studios and one of the very few with an international reputation. In 2008 Walker again went solo with his new studio, Mister Walker.

Richard Hart

Richard Hart is a designer, illustrator, type nut and – most recently – a weekend artist. He is happiest when he’s making. His output includes posters, publications, flyers, packaging, furniture, interiors, exhibition design, painting, sculpture and a few objects that are less easily described.
