Silent But Deadly Series. Post 1 of 2.


I have decided to channel my urban angst into an art series called SILENT BUT DEADLY. The complete series of 4 will feature urban abstractions and obstacles that hinder healthy urban living.

Angel Dust. SBD01.

Loaded Gun. SBD02.

SK+27. A personal icon for Svetlana

I created these icons for professional tennis player, Svetlana Kuznetsova. The vector icons were designed for cross-media use – from apparel to web, these graphics are adaptable. The images first began as sketches and were scanned. They were then digitized and colored in Adobe Illustrator. Once finished, Adobe Illustrator allows you to export the art in many file formats as well as save in the native vector .ai format.I met Svetlana during a Fila tennis photo-shoot. We got to talking and I found out she was very interested in design and down with hip-hop, graffiti and tattoo art. She also had a fondness for her birthdate - June 27th and wondered if it could be incorporated into a design. I thought, "what a great challenge!"

Here is a page from my sketchbook. For me all designs start with a pencil and sketchbook.
