Vector Artist: Cristiano Siqueria, aka CRISVECTOR

Cristiano Siqueria is an accomplished Brazilian vector artist who works under the name Crisvector. He began his career as a professional illustrator back in 2005. He has worked with many famous clients ranging from Nike, Gillete, ESPN, Master Card, The Wall Street Journal, all the way to Playboy. He began his career as a graphic designer for posters, magazines, CD covers, and even books. His work has been featured in some big-time publications like Advanced Photoshop, Adobe Master Class Illustrator, Digital Arts, Arts, and Vektorika. Cristiano started his work in the art word with traditional media cub as painting, drawing, etc. He started working in a graphic design studio but was unable to produce graphics by hand, so one of his coworkers suggested he try a digital approach and he soon became the "Adobe Illustrator guy" to his boss back in 1998. He worked 5 years in a row in illustrator before beginning his foray into photoshop in 2005 after purchasing a Wacom tablet. He has become known for his recent style which takes advantage of pressure sensitive line strokes. In addition to all this, Cristiano also does work as a packaging designer for food and toy companies. He's also taken time off of his work to go to university in Brazil and study editorial publishing and production, a lifelong goal for Cristiano. One of Cristiano's favorite projects was the comic page done for AIDES along with Goodby, Silverstein & Partners in 2011. He received the Clio Award, an international award, under the category of "Print: Public Services" for this project. One of my favorite works of his is the promotional piece he did depicting Lionel Messi back in 2010 for the world cup: 
I am a big fan of his work because not only is he able to create bright, flashy logo and label designs (such as the works he's done for Nike, below), but he is also incredibly talented in the field of portraits which we can see through his portraits of Steve Jobs and Edgar Allen Poe. in his free time, Cristiano enjoys spending time with his girlfriend Mari and traveling around South America.
