Order Your Customized Vector Art Portrait!

Hi there!

Many people have asked me if I could create a customized Vector Art portrait for them (or as a surprise for a friend).

Vector Art portraits looks like that (click to enlarge) :




Vector Art is a technique of using geometrical patterns such as lines, polygons, curves etc. In order to create a picture or an image, the artist needs to pay attention and recreate, by hand, every shade, tone and detail of the original image. This process is quite challenging and takes sometimes 6 hours or more. check out this video.


I was looking for some pricing details on the web, and I discovered that the cost of one portrait is between $150-$200 , just for the illustration.

I decided to create those customized vector portraits for $100 (one head shot, for a limited promotional period).

It is a great and original present for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings - you name it!

If you are interested, contact me via IBadishi@hotmail.com or via my Facebook fan page. Send me a good quality photo (of yourself, girlfriend, father, pet etc.) within 3 days I'll send back a draft with a paypal payment request. After the payment, you'll receive the Vector Art file in various popular extensions (psd, jpg, png, ai) and you'll be able to do with it whatever you want! A canvas is a great idea!

Vector Art - The Girl With The Pinkish Hair

Hi there!

I think I'm in love!

Well... at least I was astonished with the beautiful portrait of Charlotte Free made by Terry Richardson.
Richardson is controversial fashion photographer. His work includes aspiring models, adult movie stars, politicians, singers and more. You should take a look at his tumblr blog, it is quite interesting! (Be aware that some of his work contains nudity and sexual innuendos).

Anyway, back to Charlotte Free  - A young model , with a weird appearance and ever pink hair. Take a look at her photo.

Charlotte Free by Terry Richardson

Beautiful isn't it?

Well... I tried to recreate this portrait, using my new Illustrator CS5, I was really trying to give the portrait a full attention and respect, and to preserve her beauty. It was quite enjoyable too.




I hope that Charlotte will like my Vector portrait of her :) It's not like the original photo, but still...


Well, that's it for now,

Have a wonderful day!

Vector Art - Some Famous Faces

Hi there!

This time I decided to dedicate the post to some famous faces. Using Vector Art I recreated their portraits, and made them more colorful and vibrant.

Bar Refaeli - A Model
In my opinion Bar Refaeli is one of the most beautiful models ever. I decided to recreate her portrait, and tweak some elements, for example her hair color. The change has made her more mysterious and enigmatic than the cute blond typecast. Do you think that this new look fits her?



Charlie Sheen - An Actor
2011 was all about Charlie Sheen, he was involved in so many scandals, was kicked from his own show, fought with the producer, and began a weird tour - "Violent Torpedo of Truth". All and all we almost forgot that he is a very talented actor, and the truth must be told, "Two and a Half Men" will never be the same without him. Hopefully his new TV show "Anger Management" will succeed, and will give us the opportunity to see his talent again.





Woody Allen - An Actor and a Film Director
Woody Allen is one of my favorite directors, I can see his films over and over. It makes me very happy, knowing that he is still very active and keeps on making new films, even though that some of the recent movies weren't very good. Luckily he made the excellent "Midnight in Paris" in 2011, and won back the audience's trust and the reviews. 





Alpha - Our Pet Dog
Last but definitely not least, Alpha the friendly pit bull! Alpha is our pet dog, he is very friendly and loves human company, sometimes too much! He was found in a carton box outside the dog shelter, 3 months old puppy with his ears cropped. Since we took him in, he makes us laugh, takes us for long walks, and sometimes just being annoying :) When he wants my attention he likes to stare at me and to push my arm, he is so powerful that you can not ignore him. When I give him a mad look, he always give me an innocent look back. I just had to make a picture of him.



That is it for now!

Hope you enjoyed the portraits :) If you want me to create your own portrait or to surprise your loved one, send me a message via Facebook, Twitter or just leave me a comment, and I will gladly contact you back.

Digital Art - Making of a Vector Art Portrait (Video)

Hi there!

This post will be dedicated to Vector Art.
For those of you who have never heard about it, I can describe it as a technique of creating a picture or an image using different geometrical shapes (lines, polygons and other). The advantage of this method is the ability of enlarging the image, without damaging the image's quality, unlike other methods.
If you want to learn a little bit more you are welcome to visit my Vector Art lens

This method is easy to learn, but it takes time to practice, and... if you want to use it properly, you need to spend a lot of time in front of the computer. As we can see on the video, I've spent more or less 7.5 hours making the image, so... you have to be dedicated to your project!






Thank you for visiting my blog!

Pop Art - Those Red Hot Lips

It was another boring night at the local pub. we drank a lot, had nothing to say, and we had absolutely no desire to listen.

"HEY!", she said with a surprising energy, "You told me that you bought a new camera, let's give it a test drive!"
"Now?" , I asked, "It's almost 3 am"
-"Yes! now, you always wanted to make a photo session with me, or at least you said so..."
-"Oh, ok, but let's do it outdoors, there is a nice playground I know, nobody passes there at this hour"
-"YAY ! let's go!"

10 min. after, we found ourselves in an empty playground, taking pictures and laughing like two idiots. She loved the spotlights, to be the center of attention. She posed and posed and posed, quicker than my camera. I couldn't handle the poor light, and her fuzziness, but kept going anyway. I was thinking, I am going away in a few days, and those photos will probably be my only chance to remember her, so I have to do my best.

In between she asked me to focus on her lips - "I think that they are the most beautiful part of my body", she said. I couldn't disagree - though I thought to myself... there are more parts that could draw attention...

When I got home I found that most of my photos were far too dark, I tried to save them. Lucky me, her natural beauty popped right away even in the worst conditions.


This one was my favorite - a little bit off focus, just enough to create the little circles of light (bokeh) on the nails, lipstick and lips.

3 years after, those lips have inspired me to do a pop art piece, more colorful and vivid.



I'll always remember that night, especially because it felt more powerful and significant than it really was...
