Im obsessed right? You’re convinced you’re seeing double. (Thats if you saw an earlier illustration of mine ‘Tentakitty‘ ) cats and tentacles AGAIN? Honestly, I stumbled onto this concept by accident, the usual image spamming – an attempt to inspire my lagging creative self. i went old school mythology and built a beastie. Taking creatures and parts, that don’t belong together and creating something new from the merge. In In this case, it was a combination of my love for tigers Tentacle Tiger Logo Design

originally featured in my first logo, and my new found fascination for tentacles. They used to weird me out up until not long ago! So TentaTiger was born and became the brand identity i wanted. I created something that was a-lot more for ME, this time and less like i was trying to fit in with the usual logo ideologies running the digital world these days.

This project entailed multiple areas of design from print media like stickers, business cards, stationary, and product label design. To digital content for social media and web site design. If youre wondering if this was a vector illustration, youd be right! This time however, instead of using Adobe i used a new apple vector app called ‘Vectornator’. (now Linearity) Of the many vector apps i had used ( in an attempt to find a passable replacement for Adobe Ai)

This was a happy little surprise find, and once all the teething issues of a new program were behind me. I was inspired to bring my tentacle tiger to life. The exciting part is that in their menu system, you have the opportunity to upload your completed artwork to the mods. I was featured in a “User Submissions: Our Favorite Art From the Vectornator Community” blog! For all the years Ive been drawing I’ve always struggled to be seen. So it was really nice to be recognized by the people behind the scenes of an industry that has (for better or worse) guided my life.

How do you get yourself seen when you’ve been behind a sets of pencils. Or more recently a drawing tablet your whole life. Yet you struggle to get those who know you best to share your work. I tell you, it’s frustrating and there’s been countless times I’ve lamented the fact i wasn’t born with a more practical skill.

I mean, don’t get me wrong, when someone wants a custom artwork your’e the first one they come to.But they want it ‘for free’ coz, ya know, FAMILY *eye roll*. They’ll be desperate for that design but not desperate enough to appreciate the time that went in to designing it. and also helping you pay your bills… ANYWHO, I could go on, but the demon needs to go back to its quiet place..ntacle Tiger Logo Design
