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!

Digital Art - Black Dog (my first illustrator creation)

Hi !

As a photoshop user, I am used to do some retouching to my photos, as well as creating digital art. Just learned by myself how to use it, and improved over time. Lately I've been creating more and more digital art, and I wanted to try a more flexible tool, that would help me to improve my art. I checked out Adobe Illustrator, and to my surprise, you can download the official version and use the full and latest release for 30 days. Now, I was so excited and wanted to work with it right away, but... I realized that I have to learn a lot of new features and elements. Luckily my photoshop experience helped a little bit, but yet... there was a lot to learn, I felt like a beginner, it was like learning a new language, oh well...

Been searching youtube and found this series of tutorials for beginners that are helpful and funny, if you are doing your first steps on illustrator, you should check it out... Jream Tutorials

My first attempt to create something in illustrator, was rather good for a first try. Take a look at my previous post and find the black dog. I decided to vectorize it! just for fun.

Take a look :

I was happy with the result so I decided to print it on a shirt :)

Take a look :

I like this shirt! it looks like a dog with a lion complex :)

That's it for today, I'll keep you posted with my new creations very soon.
As always you are welcome to visit my online store or my portfolio on "The Untapped Source".

Have a wonderful day !

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!
