Bueno, hoy quiero recomendarles darse un paseo por el sitio web de Bos Staake, ilustrador, diseñador y autor contempraneo, inspirado en los antiguos diseños de mediados del siglo pasado, apoyandose en nuevas tecnologías y herramientas de diseño grafico, ha adquirido renombre en el mundo del diseño y de la ilustración.

Bob Staake is a children book illustrator who draws pictures in the most amazing manner. He uses just a mouse and the very outdated Photoshop 3.0.

Check out this video demonstration of his drawing process:

All his illustrations are formed via combinations and subtractions of shapes and lines. It looks like a very tedious process to me! Yet at the same time, I marvel at his works because of their beautiful geometries and Staake's solid understanding of shapes.

In the age of digital art, artists are prone to obsessively keep themselves updated on the latest design software development. Yet here's one guy who can show that old technology does not equate to bad art. You just have to get your fundamentals right. Rock on dude!~

Videoen er laget i Adobe Photoshop 3.0. Å få lagt ut slike videoer på sider som Boingboing, har helt klar en svært stor PR-effekt både for produktet og for kunstneren. Kan man gjøre liknende prosjekter med ditt produkt? ;)

Thanks to Boing Boing for posting about a Mr. Bob Staake, a children's book illustrator who proves you don't need Photoshop CS 3 and a super machine to create interesting artwork.
