Living is Love - Advanced Photoshop Magazine
Typographic illustration & 12 step tutorial commissioned by Imagine Publishing for Advanced Photoshop Magazine Masterclass, featured in issue #66. The illustration is centered around the concept & phrase Living Is Loving.
A Moment Of Serenity - Your-Majesty Advertising Agency
Wallpaper Illustration commissioned by Your-Majesty advertising agency for their mid-evil themed wallpaper/screensaver project, Art Direction was provided by Jens Karlsson.
Rich Soil Lion - Rich Soil Clothing
The first of 2 tee shirt illustrations I was asked to create for Los Angeles Lakers player Lamar Odom's clothing line, Rich Soil. Art Direction was provided by Jonathan Garcia.
I use roughly 3 programs; Photoshop, Cinema 4D and Poser occasionally. I didn't know any decent tutorial sites when I started so as far as learning the technical aspects of the programs I would just keep trying artistically. I also learned a lot by looking at surrealist & futuristic painters work like H.R Giger & Salvador Dali.
Trinity - Advanced Photoshop Magazine
Artwork created for the Advanced Photoshop Magazine cover contest, the brief was only to use one of the provided stocks. The image was not a selected winner, but did lead to the commission of the illustration 'Living Is Loving'.
Twenty Ten - Self Initiated
Self initiated Collaboration with Russian artist Magomed Dovjenko of iammago.com, created as a tribute to the year.
Machina - The KDU
The second promotional illustration I created upon joining the Keystone Design Union, a international collective that houses some of worlds finest artists.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Bottle - Tiger Beer
Artwork I created for Tiger Beers global exhibition Tiger Translate. The exhibition was focused around the concept of balance, and was curated by Kult.Sg.
I am still pretty influenced by surrealists like Dali and Magritte but less than I was before. These days I get more inspired by my surroundings, especially tagging & graffiti and artists like Banksy.
