Pictographs

With my own personal challenge of creating weekly sketch journals, I have become interested in the simplicity and humor of pictographs.

Nathan Manire

Amazing portraiture composed of unique illustrative shapes and patterns. From a far it the small detail isn't so obvious, but as you look closer you begin to notice the decorative illustration.

The Wizard's Hat

The Wizard's Hat is a collaboration between two artists Jeffrey Bowman and Andrew J. Miller. It is basically a platform for producing collaborative projects under one name.

The illustrations contain endless amounts of detail even though they are constructed through simple shapes, figures, patterns and lines.

Adam Hayes

Hayes uses intricate lines and a large amount of detail to complete his illustrations. The controlled and simple colour palette enhances the extreme detail of fine lines within the image.

Jeffery Bowman aka Mr. Bowlegs

Mr. Bowlegs creates an interesting montage with illustration and patterns. The contrast between the realistic imagery and the hand illustrations develops an obvious narrative between the two styles.

Andy Macgregor

Organization of random objects.

Things I Have Learned

Inspired by Sagmeister's visual interpretations of "things I have learned", I will be producing a visual interpretation of a life lesson selected from a list of things I have learned in my life or have yet to learn.

1. Never leave room for regret.

2. Never take anything for granted. 

3. Nothing is original.

4. Nothing lasts forever.

5. Things aren't always as they seem.

6. Perfection can lead to both success or failure.

7. Appreciate what you have.

8. Keep friends close and your enemies closer

9. Don't let fear take over.

10. Stay true to yourself.
