Drawing Giant Rabbit Robots and Google Maps Visualizations

For Moscow-based digital artist Andrey Shkurenko, graphics are key. Across his websites and social media pages, the illustrator features intricately detailed projects—including a surrealistic advertisement illustration for New Balance and an ergonomically designed graphic visualization of Google Maps—that capture his love of brightly colored computer-esque images.

Much of his understanding of graphic illustration stems from his formal education in industrial design: "During my studies, I paid much attention to the construction of car bodies," Shkurenko explains to The Creators Project. "[It] most[ly] gave understanding of the spatial structure and the person in it." Outside of advertising, his interests stretch to the polar opposite end of the creative spectrum, 2D graphic fantasy art and illustration. "I think in the year 2004 I saw Andrei Ivanchenko. At that time, I did not have a graphics tablet. I was amazed, and… could not understand how this is possible on the computer."
