Newest Deviations

Traditionally I began with pen and paper but none of that is here on da. The majority of my work was submitted years ago and I haven't bothered to remove it even though I have moved on and grown as an artist since then.

The majority of my new work is graphic design (corporate, website, pr), photography (model, landscape, macro, commercial) and vector (which I create as a form of meditation).

If you favorite my work please leave a small comment so I know it is real as too many people just fav and move on (myself included... sometimes... i know hypocritical or what!)

Favourites

Hmm... this appears to show collections as well as true favorites. I collect fonts, textures, brush's and stock for use later on so they will appear here as well as works I find awesome which I see as true favorites...

Interests
In the words of Leonardo Da Vinci - "Art is never finished, it is only abandoned."

I have come to the same conclusion recently during work on one of my vector illustations. Vector art isn't something I do commercially it is instead to me at least, a form of meditation, I tend to grab a stock photo with interesting elements and begin tracing the shapes adding level after level of detail before allowing it to come to its conclusion. I guess as it is mostly tracing with the odd bit of ad-lib here and there means it is quite easy for my brain to switch off and empty of all the nagging thoughts that worry me throughout the day. However with vector illustation you can continue adding layer after layer of detail ad infinitum so in reality is vector art never finished simple abandoned for the begining of another piece?
