In this vector portrait of David Bohm I used various drawing techniques to achieve the proper appearence - 'painting' with custom vector brushes, drawing shapes and strokes and the Huion graphic tablet to draw the hairs. This is a work in progress (as of July 17 2020). Click here to see the update sequence in my portfolio blog, read more information on how the drawing was made and information about the life and work of the hyper intelligent and emphatic David Bohm, as he layed down in his 'Implicate Order' treatise.
Many artists in the history of human art have created self portraits, so I figured I could not not draw one. Click this link to see the sequence of progress in my portfolio blog. I used an X-mas 2014 photo as a reference image, because since those days I have grown far too old and ugly to clutter up this website. This image shows me in my strange persona, which, to be honest, is normal for me.
An other T-shirt design concept, featuring Mr. Bean, with a text based on one of his quotes.
Technical presentation created in Rhinoceros 3D / Cinema 4D of a horticultural growing lamp and ballast (power regulator). A small company I used to work for once sold 300,000 of these in one sale to a Russian agricultural company, which was quite a hassle to actually produce within the limit of time agreed upon.
This is a 3D rendering of a hotbonder - a crucial piece of equipment in advanced composites manufacturing. It was created in Cinema 4D and edited in Affinity Designer. Unfortunately commercial 3D applications are hugely expensive, which drove me to switch to open source alternatives, most of which have a rather steep learning curve, so that probably will require a proper amount of time.
Fabricating advanced composite parts also requires the use of vacuum valves of which the partial ghost view of three types are shown here. They have fittings for vacuum gauges and are used for flat, concave and convex surfaces and unlike traditional valves they do not fall over due to the weight of the vacuum hoses and thereby shear the vacuum bags. This image was created in Rhinoceros 3D version 5.
Occasionally I create 3D files for my portfolio like this watch. I also use 3D programs to get parts of 2D drawings in the proper perspective, which can be quite a demanding chore in 2D. An example of this is drawing car wheels and rims, that are then put in the proper 3D view, which allows to make realistic drawings in 2D.
Creating organic shapes in 3D can be a challenge. This one was made in Rhinoceros 3D, version 5. In the Chinese Zodiac, I was born under the sign of the snake - the water type, which is where my fascination for the Chinese take on this astrological sign comes from.
The tree of life symbol is often used and rarely understood. Click on the image to visit my VectorWhiz blog to read about it. It is part of my quest to live life in a different way, one that aims to offer ways to escape from the cyclical prison that this illusory reality actually is.
T-shirt design for the Almere Airbrush Services company in The Netherlands. When I still was doing a lot of airbrush art, I used to buy all my gear in this shop, that literally is world famous for its most excellent service. The two airbrushes were created in Rhinoceros 3D and incorporated in the logo in Affinity Designer.
Of course AA people and DUI victims wouldn't find this funny, this goes without saying, but those not endlessly drunk as a fish probably would. Without intending to offend anyone I created this graphic in Affinity Designer.
My Chinese Zodiac sign is a Water Snake, which is the main feature of this personal crest. The meaning of the arched Latin text is Serpent Power or Kingdom. The X is a symbol of the Sun God who sustains life. The circle represents magical protection and sacred space. The mistletoes refer to protection against poisons and to mystical powers. 11 and 22 are master numbers reflecting my essence according to the art of numerology. The infinity symbol at the bottom hints at my spiritual origin.
This 100% vector image was drawn in affinity Designer. The text obviously applies to me.
This 100% vector image was drawn in affinity Designer. The unfinished concept (as of Sept 2022) site of the company can be found here.
To the mentally challenged that feel addressed. Getting the facial expression correct within the restrictions of emoji design, was what I tried to achieve. Especially the asymmetric aspect of the expression in the face is what I focussed on. Take a peek at a few other emojis I drew, here. To all emojis alternative versions are added.... There is a version for evil people as well, here.
This is is a 100% vector drawing of a wolf that my old computer was barely able to render, since basically each hair was drawn separately with a Huion 610 PRO drawing tablet. The many thousands of strokes probably were a bit too much to process for my crappy old machine.
