"Hi, I just wanted to have some fun and participate in the Snow Globe Showdown

William Von Bank
"This project just gave me motivation to vectorize this mermaid I had drawn a while back. I can’t imagine a better atmosphere for her to be in. It may not be a self portrait but I believe the style and subject matter tells a lot about a person."
Dave Spensley
"Yes, this is a self portrait. I did for my profile pic and I just "globe-isized" it. Been doing graphic for 36 years now! Since the old days of photo type, amberlith, PMT’s & rapidograph pens."
Pascal Wagler
"I’m a hobby designer and started doing vectors with Inkscape approximate 3 years ago. I still love to use it and do vector illustrations in my free time when I need a little break. I often do silhouette artwork because you can express so much without making the image so fussy."
Zac Timbers
"I love cartoons and hockey! Recent Graphic Design Graduate Portfolio at zwadet.com"
Andy Eveland
"With a reference photo in hand, I started creating my Snow Globe literally from the ground up. Because of the angles of the Globe, I decided to do a cross section of the earth’s crust to make it look like I’d scooped this view right out of my front yard. Check out andyeveland.com for the full story."
Pawel Pachorek
"Im working in a adversitment company I love graphics and my portfolio is ppachorek.cba.pl"
Rigo Ortiz
"I’m a Graphic design student, and love graphic design and illustration. I based my design off what I love to create, fuzzy creatures, weird terrains, and putting myself in an odd place. When I design, I let my imagine literally run across my paper, and don’t think about anything specifically, whatever the outcome is, I ‘m usually happy with."
