Your Imagination is the Combination
São Paulo, Brazil –
These colourful faces caught our eye. Julio has done a wonderful job creating this series of vibrant vector portraits. Great job with the whips of hair, especially when knocked out in white.

Today, we started to receive notices from Behance about an artist that we all follow here named Adhemas Batista.
When you get one look at his portfolio you can see that he probably doesn’t get a whole lot of time to do much self-promotion. He seems to be just too busy for it.
At the very least – we offer a “little boost”. Not that this cat needs it. Just take a spin through some of these examples along with his story (Further down the post below). There is a “Gift” at work here. The kind of talent that makes you take pause. Perhaps even make you re-approach your own vector creative.
As he published projects to his portfolio Today, we added them to this post in real time. Why? Because his Vector Illustration styles are worth telling a few people about it. There is allot of range and character here.
After all, these images hypnotized you into reading this. If I’m lucky, you’ll take the next step and support this tremendous portfolio as it grows. (Read more by clicking “Continue” below)

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.

In a world where clubs, spades, hearts and diamonds are different kingdoms, one card waits for the visit of the four kings. Her destiny is to be a queen.

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 there is no end in site to this overflow of creative talent.
Edno Pereira Jr is a rare find. His style is nothing short of inspiring. He likes to tell stories with a single image and uses color and shape confidently. please make a point of visiting his site. He also has examples of some fantastic t-shirts created in Adobe Illustrator.
