Complex Cutaway Technical Illustrations

Posted on June 2, 2007 by Kevin Flahaut

I’ve always been fascinated with cutaway views and technical illustrations. It’s that point where architecture and engineering meet artistry. I can remember having a large cutaway illustration of Star Trek’s Enterprise hanging on my wall many years ago. Anyhow, I was intrigued to find this tutorial on how the artist illustrates cutaway versions of cruise ships. He chooses to use Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop over traditional CAD rendering techniques as he feels he has more creative control in the illustration packages. The level of detail and precision is truly amazing.

Amazing Pixel Art Piece

Posted on May 28, 2007 by Kevin Flahaut

Wow. Somebody really had a lot of free time on their hands for this one. The is hands down the largest pixel art piece I’ve ever come across. It’s incredibly complex and it just goes on and on. It’s truly massive. The whole piece comes out to 10,000 pixels wide and little more than that tall. Thats almost 140″ tall at just 72dpi. You really have to see it to belive it.

Garamond Meets Bob Dylan

Posted on May 28, 2007 by Kevin Flahaut

I found another fantastic use of type in an animation. It’s strangely hypnotic and backed with Bob Dylan’s “Don’t think twice, it’s all right”. I’m still having a love affair with typography in general. This just feeds the fire.
