Some more new abstract work. Check out my portfolio for more

Some new vector artwork from me. It’s one of a series of abstract pieces revolving around the use of letter-like symbols and very vibrant colours. Some more portraits coming soon. Check my portfolio for more. Ya heard!
D’log’s blog pulled this quote from an interview with Rare developer Nick Burton.
… graduates are not cheap labor and should never be treated as such or we risk hemorrhaging talent while it is still embryonic. Consider this, you employ Mr. X. He’s the greatest graphics programmer you’ve ever seen, but he’s a bit green and so you get to pay him peanuts and work him to the bone. Eventually he will wise up and leave, and when he does he’ll probably move out of the industry that burned him. The industry has then lost him forever — not just your studio.
I have similar issues with ‘free work’ in the illustration and graphic design field. A lot of the jobs advertised on the newly redeveloped Arts Jobs website look for ‘recent graduates looking to gain experience’ or something similar in exchange for working for nothing or paying very little. What experience do you gain? Experience of being messed around! Luckily my own experiences haven’t deterred me.
I must say I’m very surprised that there isn’t (to my knowledge) some organisation that ensures people are being employed or volunteering under fair conditions
Completed this a few days ago
It was originally going to include text, but I couldn’t get them to work in harmony. Oh well, another challenge for me!
Completed this one recently
I’m liking the way this style is going, but I want to incorporate people and other objects into it, rather than just abstract objects and text. It’s proving challenging to make the two work together, but it’ll happen with more practice
Completed this today.
