Latest Work Update

......................................................................................................
I wish that I had more to show for my absence than this, but hey, whatever. I've got some other stuff in the works, we'll see how it goes. But for now, here are 2 new pieces. Ever since I made those last 2 city landscape vector pieces, I have been thinking about new ways to work it. J put the bug in my ear about making a 'New Jerusalem' vector-scape. (referencing Revelation chapters 21-22) The idea intrigued me. So here is the outcome. I hope you enjoy it.

I'm workin' on some other stuff, possibly reiterations of already posted work. But I am hoping to rework them with muted colors & post process them in PS. We'll see, I'll probably come up with something new anyway.

Tunes: Temper by Dabrye GhostlySwim compilation record [Free Download] There is the latest Tycho single on this album, a track off his up and coming new album, slotted for release in mid 2008. Enjoy.

New & Revisited Work

......................................................................................................
Here are two more pieces similar to the previous post. I am continuing to explore this 'new to me' idea of vector landscape. I am continually influenced by Scott Hansen's work. Check out this poster, you'll get the idea. His talent is remarkable.

Hansen (Aka 'Tycho') also uses Photoshop brushes & accents after he has finished the vector work in Illustrator, which gives the piece its distinct distressed look. Bringing the vectors into PS allows for a myriad of unique options typically unavailable in IL. This is still an unexplored avenue for me to this point; but I hope to experiment sometime in the relatively near future.

I just need a sweet idea. Lemme know whatcha think.

Tunes: I Am in Love With You by Imogen Heap from 'Speak for Yourself' (Check out Hide & Seek also, an amazing song.)

More New Work

......................................................................................................
I'm pretty stoked about this new stuff. I'm continuing to build my vector library & learn new techniques. I'm liking the layers & textures that I've come up with on these two. It's always nice to start with a graphic/vector to build the piece around. That seems to work better. A piece seems to come together to completion much easier if I begin with a focal or reference point.

So here they are. Click to enlarge.

New Work

......................................................................................................
Here are 2 more samples I designed recently. 'You Are Mine' I did a few weeks ago when I got the idea to work up some mug/cup stain vectors. Obviously influenced by Tycho's album cover for his most recent release 'The Daydream/The Disconnect' single.

I would have to say that I am overall & most recently influenced by his design/style. By 'him' I mean Scott Hansen. He is the man behind Tycho music, as well as some excellent design & photography, known as ISO50. I have posted several of his website links to the right in the 'Of Interest' section, check it out. He does photography, design, and music just like I would, if I was that sweet.

Anyway, the 'ABC' piece is what came out of my day off yesterday. Fantastic it was. I plan to be working more in IL with layering, textures, like colors/tones, patterns/geometric, etc; Hoping to come across some more work soon. I would like to continue to create a few pieces a week.

There it is.
