About Bitterkomix Online
We are thrilled to present the first digital project by Bitterkomix artists Anton Kannemeyer and Conrad Botes.
Known for their subversive approach to mainstream culture and satirical art works, their iconic work now enters the metasphere by ways of a sketchbook - enticing collectors one page at a time to collect - and eventually fill - their Bitterkomix digital-sketchbook. Most of these pages feature never-before-seen imagery, writing, and in many cases they are unique digital works.
The Sketchbook project is designed in such a way that you get rewarded the more pages you collect. Imagine enjoying a drink with Botes, or having your portrait sketched by Kannemeyer.
Expect to see some serious bidding wars due to the fact that these sketches will only ever be available in digital form, and there are only three editions of the sketchbook available to the market.
Through visual storytelling, collectors will accompany Kannemeyer & Botes on an illustrative and satirically inspired journey. One where they can end up owning their own digital sketchbook.

The Artists
Anton Kannemeyer (Joe Dog)
Anton has exhibited his work extensively in South Africa, Europe and the USA. He is currently represented by galleries in New York, Paris, and Vienna. To date he has had 16 solo exhibitions and participated in 47 international group exhibitions.
His work has been published in numerous publications around the world, and is held in many permanent art collections, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York. His book, Pappa in Afrika, won the best international graphic novel award at the Amadora BD Festival in Portugal in 2015.
Conrad Botes (Konradski)
Fine artist Conrad Botes enjoys the contradictions of South African society and takes on an iconoclastic approach to - especially Afrikaner - culture. His political satire and absurdism can be seen in expert execution of paintings, sculpture, comics and printmaking.
​
Botes has participated in major international exhibitions, including the Havana Biennial (2006), Guangzhou Triennial (2008), and the Biennale of Sydney (2010). His work has been featured in group shows at the Studio Museum in Harlem (2007), the Museum of Modern Art (2011), and the Museu Calouste Gulbenkian (2014).
