What a year! This has been an incredible 365 days for vector art and looking back, it was very hard to select the “cream of the crop”. So selections were made based on the articles that stimulated the most excitement and were worth a second glance. Here they are in no particular order: Enjoy:
California – Imitation is one of the best forms of flattery (as long as it does not cross the line between homage and copyright infringement). 24 year old Esteban Dido has created this incredible portrait based on the photography of Lithium Picnic‘s shot of this sexy tattooed model. Both are great. Esteban has concentrated his efforts on [...]
Here’s a no-brainer: Time magazine named US President-elect Barack Obama the Person of the Year after he became the first African-American to win the White House.

Switzerland / Russia - I don’t like to throw the word “love” around. But I LOVE this artist’s work. LimKis has a unique style that feels more like painting than vector illustration.

Brazil - There is something going on in Brazil. I’m not sure why, but some of the most imaginative vector artists and illustrators seem to be popping up all over this part of the world. Is it the climate? Perhaps the abundance of beautiful women? Who knows? But what ever it is, I hope that [...]

Fact: Tequila and I do not get along. A long time ago, I foolishly challenged my friend’s manhood with a bottle of “Mexican Fire Water” and successfully drank him under the table. I won. Or at least I thought that I won until I crawled out of a cab (literally) in front of my building. [...]
