Keanu Reeves
Keanu is probably the most loved and nice actor out there. Despite his great success and extensive filmography, everyone that meets him talks about how kind human being he is.
So, I decided to pick a ‘very human’ portrait of Keanu, instead of any of his fictional characters. Original photo from Governo do Estado de São Paulo, taken in a meeting with the actor in 2019.
I took all more relevant words from his movie’s titles. A total of 144 words.
White background is a challenge when talking about text illustrations. I tried my best combining multiple text layers to keep everything in vector. It’s a complicate task and a huge native file but I think it worth the effort.
I guess Keanu deserves it.
Nikola Tesla
Nikola Tesla in one of these people that combine science with a mystery halo. He was an absolute genius, ahead of his time, with countless inventions and patents. Thanks to him we have the AC electric system, but the number of ideas he put on the table makes him one of the greatest inventor in history, even above of his rival Thomas Edison.
This vector illustration is based in a great restored image of Tesla from Ivan Krsev who also choose related words.
James Randi
My little tribute in memorian of James Randi.
In the age of information is hard to believe that people prefer to believe blindly in so many stupid things. We need more people that think by itself and use logic and commons sense instead of believing anything that arrives to their screens. People present in media, pointing to liars, teaching us to use critical thinking… more people like Randi or Sagan. I miss you guys.
This illustration is my way to pointing out those who are taking advantage of people. My way to say we can see them, and we are not going to take their bullshit.
Snow Balls
I’m working in a illustration series, based in sports, generated using my genetic geometry technique, something highly inspired in Percolator and Tsevis style. My main goal was to have something useful for tshirts, but as usually I ended with something that needs a big size if you want to see all the details it has.
Here you have some of then, focused in winter sports. I think I will publish soon more about different sports.
Click to enlarge, but remember that all these are vector based. If you want to see all the details of first sample take a look at it in zoom.it.
The Rolling Stones
Time to talk about The Rolling Stones. They provocative song lyrics mix perfectly with the life of his iconic band leader, Mick Jagger. I took 294 songs lyrics from the band and counted all the words.
