Welcome to
Tom’s world of art and illustration.
From time to time, Tom has found himself obsessed with a particular
theme, idea or figment of his imagination, so much so that he has
no other choice than to channel it from his mind into a physical
form of some sort (for fear of it staying inside his head and driving
him mad).
This forms the basis of his ‘better out than in’ philosophy
to ideas in general. There is little point in thinking or dreaming
fantastical thoughts if you are never going to share or do anything
about them.
To visualise or represent thoughts in some sort of physical means
is the first step any idea has to take in order to become a reality,
allowing you to evaluate, discuss or reject it. Sometimes a vision
is not so much knowing where you want to go, but to realise where
you don’t want to go, therefore, like the natural journey
of a river flowing towards the ocean, ideas should be nurtured into
following the path of least resistance. Or whatever?
Tom has no formal training in art and therefore, this really is
just a form of expression. However, as a professionally qualified
product designer, he has developed a high level of competency in
3D digital illustration, some examples of which are also showcased
in this section. |
