Illustration
Art: typical or a medley?
Following his liking for illustration and type-design, artist John Paul Xavier has come a long way in exploring different means, modes and mediums in the field of art.
Typically liked to be called as a Lettering Artist, John is working as a visual designer illustrating art works and creating user interface designs. His keen interest in typography helped him gain limelight in the design community.
Always on a spree to explore different mediums whether traditional or digital, John draws most of his inspiration from pop culture.
01 Logan. Struck by boredom, John was exploring a scribbly style of illustration, a first-time for him, using Wacom and Photoshop. The outcome was this masterpiece!
02 Origami Dance. Created in ink and water colour, this piece was inspired by ‘origami’. John mixed the theme of Holi and Dance to achieve this colour scheme for the backdrop and the dancer.
03 Rainwater Harvesting Poster. A final year project responding to the theme of ‘Rainwater Harvesting’ John chose lettering and typography as the main tools for the creation of this hand-drawn poster, executed using poster colours on paper
