New Globe illustrations

Globe Illustration

Today, I added five new commercial illustrations of the Globe oriented to commercial web site design for Intuitive Designs. They’re all vector illustrations, except for the Chrome Globe, which was originally created using Inkscape. I think this is a wonderful vector application because of it’s possibilities for using effects such as blur, and of course it has the great incentive of being an open source program. But sadly there is no way to export the final work at the time, so it won’t be recognized by the most usual vectorial programs. I hope this gets fixed sometime soon. So, finally, I decided to turn this vector illustration into a PSD image in order to make it work.

During the following weeks I’m going to work on a series of cartoonish character illustrations, such as customer service, etc… It look more fun than drawing globes, I have the feeling I have travelled five times around the globe without moving from my chair!

Testimonials

Koldo Barroso is a brilliant and very original artist. His uniquely beautiful style of illustration is inspirational. You can feel the joy and fun that runs through all of his work.
We were blessed to have him do the illustration and cover design for our album "Life Stories" and couldn't have been more delighted. I feel his energy and wonderful artwork are as much a part of the album as the music itself, it so captured the mood and meaning of the project.

"It is pure joy to enter the imagination of artist & writer, Koldo Barroso. His is a world of delightfully whimsical and bizarre characters brought to life with sensitivity, skill and humour.

This is creativity at its very best - inventive and poetical, its charm simply magnified upon repeated viewing.
Truly magical."

How delightful. Thank you for the all the care and skill you have put into this illustration. I was touched and intrigued by your particular interpretation of "C'est La Vie" to see how you had taken the piece beyond its original form of a study in melancholy.
