I just did these two recession themed illustrations for two different magazines. Both stories are about avoiding personal recession. I decided to use similar colors and technique to make a little series on the theme. I used a little blurring to create feeling of movement.
First one is for ladies’ magazine Anna and second is for Asukas, magazine for customers of a housing company.
In the summer food gets bad quite fast. Be careful! Illustration for health magazine Terveydeksi.
Illustration for a story about how woman realizes that she sometimes drinks too much. Alcohol makes her aggressive.
Here’s a Photoshop painting I started last year as a little experiment (non-commissioned & unpublished). For some reason I left the hand unfinished and forgot about the whole thing. Yesterday I found it again, painted a hand, made some color changes and wanted to post it here right away.
I did it like I normally do my illustrations: first a vector image in Illustrator and then painted in Photoshop. But I tried to make it more 3 dimensional, more painting-like and more better than my normal works. Searching for new ways to do my things.
I was searching for a file in my digital archives of non published works (and loads of other things). I did not find that file but spent almost whole day browsing through my old projects, tests etc. I found some very nice stuff that I had already forgot. Here’s some of them. “Gymstar” is from 2001 and others from 2004. I think I did not have lots of jobs and were trying to create something new. I think I should have gone further with them.
Some of the pictures I found need some editing (they are mostly fh:s or psd:s) before I can post them.
