@GavinWassung: an inspiration

I've had the pleasure of working with Gavin Wassung (whose portfolio is available here) and been amazed by how his designs capture the essence of commercial messages. I recommended the portfolio for anyone looking for commercial design, or inspiration for commercial design.

Not so long ago, when I was looking at Gavin's artwork via his blog I was inspired to make something similar. Gavin makes me want to be a better artist. Since these types of works have no name, I shall henceforth refer to them as "Gavins." Making a Gavin involves using a circular rotation in the center of an image. I've added reflection (as opposed to rotation) to this technique, but rest assured that all of these images are Gavins.

Gavin the first: Stack
Gavin the second: Rocker

Gavin the third: Cycle

Gavin the fourth: Tree

  1. You know those mirrors and the wheels in there do add some thematic coherence that the others lack.
