I am an artist and I have spent the last 5 years creating beautiful works of art.

As a designer for the last 5 years, my work is a testament to my creative vision and dedication to my craft.

My portfolio showcases a range of stunning designs that possess both functionality and beauty. From sleek and modern web layouts to eye-catching branding packages, my work is a true aesthetic pleasure to behold.

Each project demonstrates my unique ability to balance form and function, resulting in designs that are not only visually stunning but also highly effective.

My passion for design is evident in every project.

VEKTORIKA | INTERVIEW

How would you describe your style?

I’ve done a variety of styles and liked working with the gradient mesh tool but I like having a mix of flat color with some subtle shading. I would call it a semi realistic style I guess. Of course if you go by my subject matter it would be primarily a skin style!

How do you work from concept to the final artwerk?

Could you tell us the creative process?

I’ve got a ton of ideas always swimming around it my head but I’m never able to execute them as well as I would like. I don’t have a strong imagination anymore so I do use reference to a certain extent. The more realistic the piece the more reference material is required for me.

I generally start out with a sketch on paper till I get a layout I like, then I scan that sketch in and trace over it with a black line varying the thickness to give the line some variety. I use a lot of layers in illustrator to make it easier to go back and edit areas. I primarily use a mouse to do my illustrator work but when I need some quick repetitive stuff I break out my Wacom tablet. Lately I’ve been trying to work the tablet in more and more as it does allow for a bit more spontaneity.

If I’m working on a tight portrait I may trace directly over a photo to get the likeness as accurate as possible.

What are the projekts you are currently working on? Any future projekts you can share with us?

I just finished up some concept illustrations for a company that builds snowboarding ramps world wide. They were illustrations to help show how the structures would work and how advertising could be placed with them.

I was hoping to have a story book project going but that appears to have stalled a bit.

WHO ARE YOUR FAVOURITE ARTISTS OR DESIGNERS? I have always been a big fan of surrealism and artists such as Salvador Dali, Max Ernst and MC Escher. Tim Burton’s dark and unique characters as well as his narrative style are always inspiring. I have always been fascinated by Dr Suess’ quirky illustrations and story telling. I’m also a massive fan of Asian art and culture.

WHAT INSPIRES YOU? The idea of creating something from nothing to a finished piece of work, inspires me. My bizarre creations are the result of the quirky little things that happen throughout my life.

ANY TIPS/TRICKS FOR VEKTORLOVER OUT THERE TO CREATE SUCH A GREAT VEKTOR ARTWERKS LIKE YOURS? My advice to aspiring illustrators would be to establish a style, practice, and stick with it.

Get involved in the local community and start exhibiting.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF WWW.VEKTORJUNKIE.COM? Vektorjunkie is a cutting edge design site that brings the latest trends to everyone.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS INTERVIEW. ANY LAST WORDS...

Thanks guys!
