Golden Pen Award 2008

^Ikue:iconIkue: reports, January 19

The "Golden Pen Award" is the equivalent of the Oscar for the Vector Community. The Golden Pen Award will be presented annually by the Directors of the Vector Gallery to recognize excellence in the vector medium. There will be an award for each Sub Category excluding Miscellaneous.



Abstract: :iconlimkis:


    ~LimKis is a huge staple in the vector community here on deviantART. In only two short years she has become an extremely popular artist. Her abstract style and fluid artistic pieces makes her stand out from the crowd. So much so that even Adobe has had an interview with the lovely ~LimKis. Her works are the definition of abstraction. In her mind shapes and colors all blend to make a beautiful world we've been blessed to see through her works. The Golden Pen Award for the Abstract Vector gallery is gladly given to such a unique artist. We hope she will continue to amaze us with her stunning works. Please visit her gallery if you haven't already done so. Or visit her personal website at: www.limkis.com

    "

    My name is Masha Gubar (aka LimKis) and I was born in 1986, in Udmurtia, Russia.
    My education consists of art school, in the design department. I'm a professional skilled in vector graphic art, traditional graphic art (drawing), illustrating, magazine graphics, design and firm logo/style. The software I use consists of Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, aliassketchbookpro, Flash. My favorite of these softwares being Adobe Illustrator.
    Professionally I’m interested in, vector art, illustrating books, traditional graphic art, character design, landscapes, magazine graphics. But things I would like to do or at least to try in the art world are: computer games, designing fantastic animals and plants, character design. Actually I've always worked alone, but I would like to try working in a group, developing a computer game or a cartoon.

    I love traveling - it gives me energy, learning something new, reading myths. I'm also interested in semantics, numerology and studying the way color can affect a person’s subconsciousness.

Animals: :iconalexandra35:


    ~Alexandra35 has only been on deviantART for a short time, but in that time she has made a great impact on the animals vector gallery. Her unique style and love of animal vectors make her the best candidate for this award. Lately she has branched out artistic wise but her gallery is still primarily vector. Please make sure and check out her dA homepage, you won't be disappointed.

    "

    I create my vectors based on pictures taken by me but mostly my friends. These pictures serve as a general guide for proportions and general details. The whole facial expression, word of eyes, arrangement and the shape of teeth are done by memory. I have problems choosing the best of my works. I do what it pleases me, it is not to appease others tastes. I love the vector gallery and if you need help in the vector category (animals) I'll help with true pleasure.

Objects: :iconvalentinacrespo:


    =ValentinaCrespo If you browse the vector gallery any given week you are sure to come across one of Valentina's Kawaii pop vectors. Her dedication to her art really knows no bounds and it truly shows. Her style is unique and colorful and you can't help but find them adorable in their own right. The Golden Pen Award for the Object Vector gallery is awarded to Valentina Crespo. May she continue to amaze us with her cute kawaii vectors. Please visit her gallery if you haven't already done so. And also check out her personal website: www.bleuhmeuh.com

    "

    About Valentina Crespo:
    Valentina Crespo is a designer/ illustrator with a formal education in visual fine arts, product design, and illustration. She is a self–taught and self-directed vector designer who specializes in colorful, seasonal and whimsical Kawaii Pop Art; “Infinitely curious and equally as inventive…" Bleuh Meuh Design. She brings spirit, yummy and cute to a variety of inanimate objects and takes vector pop art into a clean, bright light and perfection.

    Valentina was born and raised in Coral Gables, Florida. Her art studio/gallery is located in the Miami Design District, FL.

    About Valentina’s Vector Art:
    Valentina works strictly from her prolific imagination. She hand sketches a vector, a single design, that stands alone. Further, she extrapolates from this “;pure” object related designs that are thematically complimentary, hence, creating a series of vector subjects. She continues propagating the images and proceeds to arrange them, step-by-step, into a Vector world ruled by massive proportions, a custom palette, perspective, depth, line, shape and form, and thereby creating a specific "cuteness" that magically comes together with a bang!

    Her Bleuh Meuh Design line offers her Kawaii vector creations in an array of products & apparel.

People: :iconverucasalt82:


    ~verucasalt82 has slightly lapsed in her community involvment here on dA but her talent and love for vector art cannot go unnoticed. She has the uncanny ability to take and ordinary portrait and make it her own. Her artist prowess cannot be denied and that's why she is the winner of The Golden Pen Award for the People Vector gallery. Please make sure and check out her dA homepage, you won't be disappointed.



Scenes: :iconowaikeo:


    *OwaikeO is known throughout the vector community for his clean styalized vectors. He chooses to use clean lines and blocks of color to create intricate and mindblowingly detailed scenes. If you've ever seen one of his pieces you know the insane amount of detail he puts into each and every piece. At first glance his works are pretty straight forward. You can soack in the entire scene fairly quickly but upon further inspection you notice that every nook and cranny is filled with small surprises. Everytime you look at it you find something new and amazing. We proudly award the golden pen award for The Scenes Vector gallery to *OwaikeO. Please make sure and check out his dA homepage or his personal wesite at: www.owaikeo.com

    My name is Ahmed Al-Refaie (22 years old), I'm from and currently live in Kuwait. My artwork is categorized under vector art, but I felt it was necessarily to do something different. In my vectors I focus on outlines and imaginative characters surrounded by very detailed environments. An artwork takes months to create as I'm very focused and don't like to rush. During my vectoring process, The Pen Tool is all I use along with the ordinary basic tools.

Vehicles: :iconflying-polock:


    ~flying-polock is the strong silent type. His works are far and few between but when he does get around to posting you are never left dissapointed. The detail and precision of his works speak of his professionalism and love for his craft. he takes the time to make things right and that is why he is winner of The Golden Pen Award for the Vehicles Vector gallery. Please make sure and check out his dA homepage, his gallery is completely filled with the most amazing vehicle vectors you will ever come across.
