Geometrical and really often based on circles illustrations and designs by Michael Paukner. Although it looks really clean and simple Michael’s work is none the less pleasing especially in terms of background textures. Keeping things simple but attractive is something that is always harder than it may seem and Michael Paukner really is a pro in my view for that. Simple. Efficient.
Graphic design and illustrations by German designer Kai Esselhorst. Kai’s portfolio is full of intricate, nicely laid out and well balanced designs and illustrations. His photography section is however a bit of a let down compared to his design skills and the rest of his work.
Very geometrical graphic design pieces by Empk which consists of Barbara Allain and Diego Bellorin. Their atelier is based in Sau Paulo and they are respectively photographer (Barbara Allain) and graphic designer (Diego Bellorin). They’ve been working for Computer Arts, Nike, Schweppes, Zoo York and many more companies I one day dream to work for!
Amazingly detailed illustrations and digital art pieces by Washington DC based freelance illustrator Zach Bush. Zach is also talented in photography and impressive in photo and image retouching as you can see on this Image Manipulation section on his DeviantArt page.
Very colourful illustrations and mixed media artworks by Indian visual artist Archan Nair. Archan’s been working for big names like Canon, Tiger Beer, Microsoft, GQ, Hugo Boss… This selection is not quite as representative as expected colourwise but if you visit Archan’s website your eyes will be filled with vivid and bright colours that he uses with talent.
Colourful and quite geometrical designs by Netherlands graphic designer Rik Oostenbroek aka NKeo.
Another very talented digital artist but this time from Lublin in Poland: Marek Okon aka Omen2501. The videogame universe is really present in OmeN2501’s style but I was really astonished by the quality of his work. The first digital piece in this selection with the girl in the rain is simply fantastic…
Excellent digital art pieces by Marc Simonetti who has been working for giant in computer games like activision, sony, EA, ubisoft, and many others. I particularly like the last 4 in this sample with the Asian style theme…
Absolutely superb illustrations by Jeff Simpson from Vancouver (Canada). Jeff’s illustrations are often quite dark with a sexy edge. He seems to be really in his element with volumes, depth, contrast (either shapes, sizes or colours) and lighting. A tad too dark for me but I’m still amazed by the quality of his illustrations. Big up!
About a year ago I showcased the sublime work of UK based designer Sean Freeman. Randomly this week I found some of Sean’s recent designs and was amazed by his improvment! I didn’t think it would be possible to improve because he had such incredible skills already; but he managed it! The selection above is just a sample of his work showing how much details and efforts he can put in his creations. Sean Freeman really has an eye for typography, movement, and his constant search for perfection makes him a target of choice for big companies like Nike, The Guardian, The New York Times and many more to hire his services… For more examples of Sean’s work please visit his website thereis.co.uk.
