Springleap Goth Style

‘Goth’ has seeped deeply into the fashion industry, and its alluring dark style has evoked a craze in the realm of the arts- its fresh trends spark the imaginations and creativities of many. The gripping art of ‘goth’ blossoms with intense creative power and has contributed majorly to the fashion industry. I am really amazed by the gothic styles’ development over the last decade.  Thumbs up to the goths. And if we consider the Cyberpunk fashion concept which is a modern fashion movement, seen mostly in underground nightclubs it clearly shows how profound the goth trends truly are.

Many of the Springleap semi-goth designs such as ‘cute corpse’ by DustyRich‘cute corpse’ by DustyRich and‘28 smurfs later’ by genocide ‘28 smurfs later’ by genocide and many more is quite evolved and awe inspiring and truly is a great way to express yourself and become goth. However if you are a goth its an awesome way to mix and match these Springleap.com designs with your own freaky and daunting style. You choose the slick design, you choose the style and dress as madly and divinely as you please.

Heres your chance to be extremely creative, dress goth and learn the merged style of Apollo (god of light and beauty, the arts and truth) and Dionysus (god of wine, the inspirer of ritual madness and ecstasy). This is the cult of dress as we move toward the celebration of psychedelic dark arts, with a gothic drive towards the unexplored… Let us imagine ourselves as the mighty goths that we are, and you who aspire to greatness learn how to style yourself as creatively and uniquely as you can, and so we learn the art of Apollo and Dionysus.

Dylan Lewis: Stalking Cheetah


The art of sculpting is a wide and varied art form and in this world it’s very difficult to separate the talented from the downright genius.
It’s sad to say, but for the most part South African sculptors are not renowned worldwide and their artistic influence is felt solely on home shores.
There is one man however, who is also my favourite living sculptor, who has been making serious waves in his bronze medium.
He was born and raised in Stellenbosch and is a sculptor who can be ranked at the top of his field, in South Africa and beyond.
This man is none other than Dylan Lewis.

Dylan Lewis originally started out as a painted and has always had a strong affiliation with natural elements and the forms of African wildlife, especially the big cats.
After the passing of his father, who was also highly regarded as a gifted sculptor, Dylan Lewis decided to take up this timeless art form and proved that it did indeed, run in his veins.

These days you can find Dylan Lewis’ sculptures all over South Africa as well as gracing international galleries in the art capitals of the world.
Lewis’ brilliance in capturing the animal form is the stuff of legend, but it is only when you see these magnificent pieces in real life and feel them with your own hands that you begin to understand just how awesome this guy is.
