Most High end (not Nouveau rich) opt for the expensive look of traditional conceptual art.
Whenever I have worked with high-end clients I aimed to make their brands timeless, and iconic and priceless. Something you would remember seeing in a magazine or in a classy and upscale retail store. The detail is meant to reflect perfection and depth.
The design is hand-sketched and focuses on the light and dark aspects of sculpting. Capturing contrasts between light and shadow to create depth in the design. There are elements of watercolor just to offset the crisp lines that permeate the lion.
The Typeface is a classical take on a modern style and not meant to clash with the era of the icon but rather compliment the overall look by keeping it in the neoclassical era of Art.")

They have award winning projects under their belt and were looking for a more dignified representation of the industry as they see it.
The overall concept, is intended to represent classical British and Celtic royalty. They did not want to use the lion as their emblem. After researching the industry and looking for a concept that was both noble and regal I offered the solution of the Red Stag or the Royal white stag, in a watercolor and ink medium. The clients were enthralled with the concept. They recognized the dignity in the overall concept, recognizing the antlers represented the crown. The grayscale tones captured the contrast between light and dark in order to add dimension. Overall this was perhaps one of the most beautiful concepts I was able to paint and sketch.")

The pointillism is distinct as it evokes modernity and yet remains classic in its approach. Although this logo was not chosen as winner it is still available for purchase.")

After a few iterations we discovered they loved the watercolo style and proceeded to create this very organic design and keep it in vector format.")

My once smooth, polished surfaces are now marred by countless fissures, spidering outwards from a wound at my core. Light catches on the jagged edges, a distorted mosaic of the vibrant spectrum I used to proudly refract.
Despite the damage, a whisper of my old magic lingers. Within each shard, a faint echo of the rainbow still dances, a testament to the beauty I once held. This shattered state is not just weakness, it is also a strange, new kind of strength. I have become a prism of brokenness, reflecting the world in a million shattered fragments, offering a unique perspective, a glimpse of reality through a prism of chaos and fragmentation.")

To compliment their latest fragrance they commissioned me to play with the concept of an ever-looping pink glass torus for their promotions.
Further animations were created, this however was created to simply showcase how light and glass/crystal could create a dispersion of a multitude of colors on the spectrum by simply having a the interweaving of the object and 2 light sources evoke a sense of beauty and elegance.")

Glassmakers throughout the ages have long since been able to see this first-hand. This is Crystaline morphology.")

Like life, it is always built in threads and circular motions. What may appear as a random formation is beauty formed in the directionless paths of life. This is Raw Art.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/116/116095/attachment_116095515 "This revolutionary way of constructing 3D beverages through the technology of printing is an incredible concept. The company itself is already very well established with multiple high name brands under their belt.
They were looking to develop a retail brand that centered around water and Greek Mythology as a concept. The waves were meant to evoke a sense of simplicity and softness, while the emanations of the Trident from the ocean was meant to center the concept.
The typography was also something I wanted to leverage. I felt an opportunity presented itself in the word Poseidon. When flipping the E and using the D in the name an interesting concept emerged with the use of an appropriate Typeface. The word 3D emerges. To my surprise, I found out that the team had already considered using Poseidn. Great synchronicity occurred and this design was the result.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/90/90793/attachment_90793945 "Client required a double entendre with this designed, opted to design something in the minimalist style with geometric shapes to designate a butterfly and faces. Although this logo was not chosen as winner it is still available for purchase.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/111/111442/attachment_111442659 "This design had fantastic evolution. At first it was fleshed out in a very cartoony style until I had discovered the client was aiming for something with a bit more depth and meaning. Special emphasis was added in the area of negative space to simulate the Chimp coming out of the darkness. This was appropriate since the client was wanting something with depth to the design. The final product was designed by hand and was ultimately chosen as the winning entry.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/153/153820/attachment_153820251 "For this particular illustration, I opted for traditional digital painting techniques rather than 3D modeling, utilizing cross-hatching and vintage effects that have been foundational to my career.
This design embodies a regal and noble aesthetic, setting it apart from more commercial approaches. It commands respect and conveys a sense of distinction. I incorporated various elements that evoke maturity and an emblematic pedigree, resulting in a piece rich in detail due to its complete digital painting.")
