portfolio & design blog of logo & identity designer, Graham Smith
Had to share this. Commissioned this cartoon illustration of moi for my freelance business, prior to ImJustCreative. At this time, I was going by the name of DigitalSlave and was a multi-disciplined freelance designer.
When I hired the illustrator, my only requirements were that it had a retro Flash Gordon feel in terms of the computer equipment. Now bear in mind, this was over ten years ago now, so flat screen LCD’s were not exactly common place, certainly pre flat screen iMac. So it held more visual appeal to the retro future so to speak.
Even with flat screen monitors common place, this illustration still captures the very essence of what I wanted. And the expression on my face has not changed, frequently work with this ‘death stare’.
Tempted to find a new use for this, as I still have mad hair.

I think you should- maybe create a whole cartoon around it with weekly episodes- or an avatar!

I think it’s very cool. The first thing that springs to mind is actually Futurama! I’m half expecting to see Leela coming running over behind you! :-)
It was before Futurama as well, but yes, it’s very Futurama in style.
I do like it and seems a shame to hide it. :)

A weekly cartoon as @DAMIEN wrote would be good idea. I saw you already adapted as your avatar.
