Creative Interview with Lou Patrick Mackay
After receiving 30 votes on our voting platform, Lou has created a design which is packed full of detail, colour and is ultra eye catching.
We love ‘Vitality’, as it really captures what Graphic Tide is all about – showcasing fantastic art and design on t-shirts!
We’ve asked Lou a few questions about him as an artist, so you can get an inside look at how Lou creates his artwork, and what makes him tick as a creative.
Here’s our conversation with Lou below;
Tell us a bit about yourself. What’s your main discipline?
I’m a graphic specialist and a freelancer based in the Philippines but I do specialise on logos in my line of work. I’m into details but patience is one of my main discipline when it comes to art.
What are your biggest influences or inspirations as a creative?
The people who around me are my biggest influences especially those who believe in my work.
Tell us about your t-shirt design.
Most of my works have a lot of details and are grunge-inspired style which makes my work unique and edgy.
Can you tell us about your creative process? How does your day shape up?
I spend a lot of time on concepts and do a lot of sketching. Transferring it to Photoshop / Illustrator would be the final process.
Tell us something which we might not know about you
Well, I am a motorcycle enthusiast and a musician. I play guitar in a band, its my other way of expressing my artistic side other than graphics.
Where can we get in contact with you?
You can shoot me an email at [email protected] for special projects such as storybook illustrations, graphic designs to creative logos.
