4 Artists You Should Know: Diversity in Design

Celebrate
the work of these extraordinary artists. Each with their own unique
background, they draw inspiration from their culture and surroundings to
create phenomenal designs.

Renz Hendrix

Our first feature is for Renz Hendrix, a talented graphic artist and designer from Las Piñas, Philippines. His unique digital portraits are stunning and clever, featuring concepts that will draw you in. Check out the beautiful color palettes and more.

Postcards

I'm a self taught artist from the Philippines, currently working full time as a graphic artist in billboard design.

What inspires me to make such art is the local artists here in
the Philippines. If you check out my Instagram account you'll see the
progress I've made over the past two years. From traditional drawing to
digital art.

Three local artists who I'm inspired by are Edz Gatdula,
Rombutan and Biko
Tecson. These three have had the most impact on my art journey.

Gia Graham

The Voices

I am a graphic designer and lettering artist born in Barbados and based
in Atlanta. I started my career in corporate graphic design then I owned
a stationery design business for over 10 years. I now focus on
licensing my artwork to other product based companies.

#HOMwork Lettering Challenge

As an island girl living in an urban world, my work has evolved over the
years to merge these opposing cultural aesthetics which results in
modern design enlivened with lush florals, foliage and a keen eye for
color.

Women's Day 2019

There are several artists I admire (too many to mention) but in general,
bold, colorful art always catches my eye, no matter what medium.

Dion MBD

Our next feature shows the compelling work of illustrator and designer Dion MBD. An Indonesian-born talent, his art pieces include fantastic illustrations of thoughtful and emotional scenes.

See more in his portfolio and follow him on Instagram.

Self-Portrait

I was born in Indonesia and I am finishing
up my studies at the Ringling College in Florida. I enjoy cloud watching and the
mundane of daily activities. I think the small things in life are
beautiful but easily overlooked.

Shiver

My works are usually highlighting current issues, especially those that
are tightly knitted with our routines. I want to create a comfortable
space in my pieces for viewers to discuss with one another or with me.

T-Shirt Design: Before Nightfall

Beyond

I really enjoy line work in art. I do not have a single person
that I look up to but I really enjoy the compositions done by Bernie Fuchs,
the bold brush strokes of Dean Cornwell, and the delicate colors of Oga
Kazu.

Ruby Loudin

Our final feature belongs to NYC native Ruby Loudin. Carrying a variety of creative specialties, Ruby is a production animator who shows us what's possible when keeping up with our art forms. Enjoy her fantastic animations and fan art below.

See more in her portfolio and follow her on Instagram.

PIXELS Animation

I'm just a kid who grew up in Queens, NYC. My name is Ruby, and I love all forms of art.

There's
an energy that fills me and motivates me when I see, hear and
experience it. I grew up in a city full of inspiration and rich history;
a melting pot of cultures.

How to Rule

Pop culture, gaming
and niche interests inspired me to pursue the art of world building,
character creation, and visual story-telling. Like many artists, I
wanted to find my thing. Part of the journey was teaching myself how to
do new things, utilizing all tools that were available to me.

Hunter Portrait

At this point in my
life, I feel that I have come much closer to it. I've
learned that I love all things cute, and I love portraying humor.
Sometimes a bit of both. In turn, my most recent creations have taken
the form of animated loops, or simple stories told in a single or a few
images.
