Introduction

If you're still not sure what a vexel is just follow this link and find out what is and what isn't allowed in vexels.

The challenge

Each month I want to have a lil' vexel challenge. There are no prizes, just the fun of making new works (all arts will be featured in my journal).

The theme for April is...

Spring!

That's right- flowers, birds, sun, everything that reminds you of this beautiful season.
Remember that all works MUST be vexels.

The contest

Here's a chance to win a 3mth sub! Create a vexel 50's pinup and enjoy awesome DA subscribers' features for 3 months! Follow this link for all the info.

Artist feature

Ikue- former Vector GM.

1. Who is Ikue?

I'm a 25 year old Wannabe graphic designer by night and deviantART Help Desk employee by day. My job is to help people and I couldn't be happier! I'm an Island boy from Nassau, Bahamas though you probably wouldn't be able to tell from my skin tone XD It's been winter far to long! And if you couldn't tell I have a thing for Pikachu's!

2. How/when did you find out about vexels?

I got in to vexels around the same time I joined the deviantART almost 7 years ago. I was mesmerized by a rix one of my very first friends here on dA. His style really inspired me to try it for myself.

3. What are your vexel/vector goals for the future?

To get better! I've only been using my vector skills recently for logo work and small jobs here and there. I'd love to actually create artistic pieces soon.

4. What other mediums you feel good with/would like to try?

I've not met a medium I don't like. Whether or not I'm "good" doesn't stop the creative process.

5. Are there any artists you admire?

I really like Andy Warhol and pop artists in general.

6. And last but not least- do you have any tips for vexel art beginners?

Collaborate! Nothing gets the creative juices flowing like mixing mind and talent with a fellow artist.
