Vector artist post: RasixDesigns

Raul Seng Iglesias is an artist and musician from Mexico. In addition to his vector work, he also does photography, traditional animation and illustration, and editorial design. There is unfortunately little on his background and how he got started, but his work can be seen in a variety of places and websites. He's done some really neat album art for different bands, some of which he's played guitar or bass for.

His illustrations all have a very whimsical feel to them, which he accomplishes with various styles. Much of his work involves stark use of color, and intricate detail through the shapes making up the final image.

A few of his works also seem to have a more painterly quality. In all of his work, the composition and use of space seem to be very well thought out in order to balance out the impressive amount of detail he puts into his work.

Both of Raul's styles show the wide range of experience he has as a digital and traditional artist. It's a shame that there is so little on his process and how he works- having studied some of the tools of vector artwork in class, I have to wonder if he spends hours and hours just making small shapes with the pen tool, or tiny brush strokes with the blob brush.  The idea of that is a little mind-numbing, but at least his work is pretty.
