Go Media has done it again with another amazing addition to their Arsenal in Vector Pack 12. Not only are we treated to seamlessly tiling halftone vector graphics, but we also get Zombies for those horror projects, Linework 2 for more-than-you-can-ask-for retro, and 8 Bit Pixel Art.. in color! This is a new step for them, as every other vector pack to date has been in Black and White, which wasn’t a problem but how can we pass up beautiful ROYGBIV?
Sounds like the folks at Go Media had a blast with this release, illustrating more of these vectors by hand than ever. Here’s what they had to say in their newsletter:
“The 8-bit pack needed to be color in order to get the full effect. So from now on, we’re going to be including color vector packs with every new set!”
Count me in on purchasing that set! Personally, I love the way that Go Media presents their vector sets and I’m a huge fan of them all. No matter what project I’m working on, I can simply look at the designs they present for inspiration even if I don’t use them in the actual design. Go Media’s Arsenal is a must-have for any serious designer’s.. um.. arsenal. Check out what they have to offer and you’ll see why I’m so hyped up about them.
I put two of my favorite vector illustrations, Aston Martin DB5 and Ferrari 250 GTO, on DeviantART. You can view them or check out my Print Shop to purchase prints.
iStockphoto recently published an online article describing the many Dos and Don’ts of Vector Illustration in the modern world. Now, while this mostly pertains to people trying to submit to iStockphoto, I find value in the words as an illustrator. I think that a lot of the things they touch on in the article are things that are true of a lot of artists today, mostly those who are looking to make a quick buck versus publishing some quality work. Quality, not quantity, isn’t it?

Video Games have plagued (plagued, or enlightened?) my life for much of the last 18+ years. Ever since my brothers and I received our first Nintendo Home Entertainment System on Christmas Day way back in the stone age, we have been immersed in a world of gaming. Granted, there are limits. None of us are extremists when it comes to game playing, but we do play frequently.
Having such a thorough background was very inspiring when I came up with this latest piece, aptly entitled “Video Games”. Created entirely in vector, this is one of my favorite pieces in the last year. I think I’m going to keep this style going in my next few pieces to see if it fits other concepts I might try. Enjoy!
View the piece on DeviantART, you can even purchase it in the DeviantART store.
