Cristiano Siqueira A.K.A – “Cris Vector” scores big for Brasil

The Brazilian ESPN Magazine invited me to create a series of 18 portraits of historical brazilian sports personalities for their 1st anniversary edition, released in November. This special issue features a ranking of the 50 most important brazilian athletes in history.
I had the pleasure to draw portraits of some great Brazilian idols such Ayrton Senna (F-1 driver), Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Romario (football players) Cesar Cielo (olympic champion and recordist of swimming), Maurren Maggi (olympic champion of Long Jump) among others.

All these portraits were done in vector, in Adobe Illustrator, using various photography sources as references. I worked a techinque of vector where I draw a very detailed linework, trying to capture all the facial features and making the basic shading using lines, then I apply bright colors, with a simple shading and reflections. The result is an organic look, different from the usual vector art style.

Vector Illustrator Cristiano Siqueira – Cris Vector

Sao Paulo, Brazil –
We have written about Cristiano before (aka: Cris Vector). It is no secret that we are big fans of his work.
This is hands down one of our personal favs. We’re not certain what the name of this piece is, but we just can’t stop looking at it.

If you are looking for more inspiration like this,look no further than his portfolio. This cat is a magician.
Several Anchorpoint member continue to send in examples of his work. If you like this one, you will probably enjoy this piece entitled “the four elements“, and some examples from his calendar.
Are there any more examples of this guy’s work floating around out there that we don’t know about? Tell us about it.

Nelson Balaban – XTRAPOP wallpapers

Brazil –

Nelson Balaban is an experimental artist with an imagination that is ferocious. His portfolio is a mixture of high powered brands and artistic explorations. Each piece is different from the other but equally beautiful. We cannot say enough about the craftsmanship that goes into each. He makes typography fun and alive much like a graffiti artist – only digital.

Here is a piece called XTRAPOP. Nelson has been kind enough to provide it in wallpapers that you can use to dress up your screen. Take a close look at the detail.
