Art Friday : Vektorika Magazine

Can’t remember how I found Vektorika Magazine, a vector art e-mag produced by Godot Guntoro of VektorJunkie.com but I thought it might be interesting to others since I discovered some really good stuff in several issues. Plus every issue’s free so there’s really no excuse not to check it out.

While my main interest is in digital illustration, I do favour the more abstract and stylized forms of vector graphics once in a while. Variety is the spice of life, isn’t it? :)

Vektorika Magazine is essentially a themed collection of works contributed by vector artists around the world with a sprinkling of interviews (starting from issue #7). There’s currently 10 issues available for download, each < 5 MB with the newer issues averaging 10 MB each.

As usual, some sample pages are shown below. All graphics are copyright of their respective creators, of course.

Bigbros Workshop as featured in Issue #3 Superstar Issue

Aram from Issue #4 Erotika Issue. Some of the submitted works for this issue (and some others, notably #5, #6 and #8) are definitely NSFW as the title implies :)

Verie from Issue #7 Rock & Roll Issue . Easily my favourite issue.

Colin Lee from Issue #7 Rock & Roll Issue

Rosso from Issue #8 Love Issue

Samuel Juving from Issue #9 Asiana Issue. Second favourite issue :)

Wisnu Suhandoko from Issue #10 Character Design Issue.

I recommend viewing these e-mags at 75% actual size in your favourite PDF reader – the pages look much cleaner and clearer this way without the annoying pixellation which really detracts from the enjoyment of some really awesome graphics in there.
