I'm In A New Book!

After a lot of waiting, the Vormator book is now available for purchase!! I entered the contest about two years ago, and my piece was chosen to be included in the collection. I'm very proud and excited that it's out in the world at last - here's the basic premise behind the book:

"Artists are provided with eight vector shapes, called the Elements, which they are allowed to use within a given set of rules. The goal of the project is to show the importance of limitations on creativity. The results of the contest prove that even with a large number of limitations, a surprising variation of outstanding graphics is possible."

If you're interested in buying the book, you can do so at the Vormator website, or from the publisher, BIS (which ultimately is the same link) for € 32, or $40.84 + shipping USD. I love my job and the work I do, but it's awesome to be featured with an entirely different group of artists. Hooray!!

The Vormator Project, Continued

Happily, I got another email from Vormator about five days ago asking for my profile information. I say happily because I thought I'd missed the deadline months ago, and was pretty much resigned to not being in the book of their project, even though my artwork had been selected.

This was a pretty quiet weekend, so I finally got around to writing a bio and a summary of the process I went through to create my piece for the competition, complete with a eight-image breakdown of how it was assembled in Illustrator. Hopefully, this means I'll be in the book after all. I'll let you know when it comes out! Keep checking here and at the Vormator website for updates...
