It was just another ordinary day at Prodigal Concepts but with an itsy, bitsy, teeny weeny little update. One of my articles just got published in www.photoshopmag.net Woohooo! Thanks guys.

photoshopmag.net is web magazine from Poland that focuses on design and all things Photoshop.

The article of note was the one I wrote last March 20, I called “How to Make Party Balloons in Photoshop Tutorial”, well the title says it all so if you ever wondered how to spice up an invite or a poster or a website with a nice looking balloon then check out this tutorial. You now have 2 places you can go to so enjoy. And as Bert Monroy always says, “it’s not work, it’s play”. Come back often to view the latest articles on Prodigal Concepts Dot Com.

Today we have someone who’s work would make any graphic loving Filipino proud to be Pinoy! A very talented Illustrator who goes by the name “Elpinoy” roughly translates as “The Pinoy” or “The Filipino” at deviantart.com Chester Ocampo in-real life (IRL) is a digital illustrator based in Manila. His projects include but are not limited to promotional pieces and advertising, comic books, comic book covers, character design and concept art.

I get a lot of emails (junk) from all platforms, mostly marketing stuff. There’s the group of emails selling money making schemes and then there are e-mail scammers who offer you discounts to non existing products or telling you that you have millions of dollars but you need to give them some money first (ROWL), the list goes on but you know what I mean. And even though I’m sure it’s just a waste of my time I still browse through emails from people I don’t personally know out of curiosity of what they want to talk to me about (I will not advise this but if you have to just don’t click anything you think may harm your machine, hehehehe).

This is how I got introduced to drfranken graphic designer and illustrator of nastplas.com from Madrid, Spain I received an email from him a few days ago with image attachments and links to his other portfolio sites, I was a little skeptic at first, wondering why I’m receiving this email, but curiosity got the best of me for all the good reasons because when I viewed his work I was totally blown away by the experience so I decided to look deeper into who drfranken is.

Drfranken is the other half of nastplas.com they work as freelance illustrators and designers in Madrid, Spain. His style is mostly influenced by grunge and Gothic art. His technique uses airbrush, vectors, photo manipulation and digital painting or a combination which results in a fusion of strange and bizarre but kick-ass awesome work of art, so it’s a great pleasure to share this collection to all of you and I hope you find it interesting as well as inspiring.
