Digitization in the past few years has allowed more and more virtual artists to publish their art on multiple platforms. It has become easier to showcase your art to a larger audience. Instagram is one of such easy-to-use platforms with a widely accessible audience, acting as a powerful tool for aspiring visual artists.
Advertising requires artistic and creative capabilities, in fact, our chief at AGENCY09 likes to regard us, advertisers, as artists, refining and curating art every day. And it is true, although our brushes and canvases are unusual, we sure do feel like artists dedicated to our art. And that is why we understand how important it is to find creative inspiration.
We’ve put together a few Instagram handles of visual artists, who have and continue to inspire our creative 09ers. Let me walk you through the list!
Design Lad
Creating a really good 3D character is not a cakewalk. Usually, it ends up using most of your resources. Clients want sharp and life-like 3D characters, that too fun and unseen ones. Design Lad will inspire you to do just that!
Stefan Sagmeister
Stefan is a graphic designer to always keep an eye after, he truly knows his stuff. His designs are creative, colorful and most importantly it has a message to send across. He has his own collection of unique fonts.
Timothy Goodman
New York streets are filled with murals, painted by various New Yorkers. Timothy is amongst those various visual artists that make New York more colorful. He creates lettered murals, his theme is usually black and white, and moreover, he knows how to make a mural meaningful. A lettered mural could be a great source of inspiration to create hip-looking backgrounds for your ad creatives
Tad Carpenter
Tad’s work is often modern and vibrant, made from ancient Egyptian elements. His ability to make traditional elements look modern is fascinating. His artwork inspires us to create balanced creatives for clients with a mixed brief.
Zachary Smith
Good illustrations on brand packaging by a creative mural artist is a difficult combination to find, his experience in various styles makes his designs special. You can easily spot a beautiful mixture of various styles in his designs, and that is what we admire the most about his artwork.
Nicholas Moegley
Night shots are electric and that is exactly how Nicholas’s graphical representation of generic night shots feel like. A calming vibe to a graphical representation is rare to find. And Nicholas does exactly that while bringing a sense of reality to it.
Steven Harrington
Contemporary art has dominated the industry for years now, Steven’s contemporary is vibrant. His art mainly includes contemporary cartoon characters. What’s more impressive is his branding packaging designs starring his cartoon characters. We love a good, vibrant-looking beer can that stars a cartoon at the center of its design!
