Creative extraordinaire Adrian Franks is at it again! He's taken his wildly popular FEARLESS series of works to a new ... dimension. I've always enjoyed the artist's work but these pieces have sparked a new level of interest. Like ... I want prints of some of these!

Adrian says:

"The Poly FEARLESS came about because of the need to evolve the current FEARLESS silhouette series. I wanted to show that people have multiple sides to them without revealing too much of what the person actually looks like.

Profiles capture a lot without saying too much. When you add a little dimension with basic geometric shapes, the idea evolved from something flat to something multi-dimensional. That is a basic characteristic of humans; Spiritual beings have a multi-faceted and multi-human experience.

I often said that I have many sides - like a pyramid. Just like a pyramid, in order to see all of the different sides at once you'd have to be above me. There's only one that is above me - The Most High. So one could say that the Poly FEARLESS series is a God's Eye view of man."

Well done, Sir! These works are TOO ill. When can we expect prints?

Adrian Franks - "Electric Rox"

I first introduced you to the artwork of Adrian Franks on the last day of July of this year. He's a truly incredible creative mind. You've likely seen his work in passing as he's done commercial graphic design for Verizon, Wal-Mart, HP, Toyota, the U.S. Navy and many more.

At present, his most prominent work is his "Fearless" series of vector silhouette profiles of various leaders, celebrities, etc. I've selected a few of my favorites from the series below. I'm also very excited to announce that while I'm not an official addition to the series, I was fortunate enough to have Adrian put his creative spin on my profile. I'm thrilled with the result! The title is "Electric Rox."

Major thanks to Mr. Franks! This is awesome!

Adrian Franks - Pervasive Arts Profile

I had the pleasure of meeting this incredible creative at a birthday dinner for a mutual friend some months ago. After overhearing him talking about advertising, I joined in the conversation looking for some fresh ideas and advice.  We ended up speaking at length about art, music and technology. His insights into Black technology trends completely blew my mind and I am, to this day, still trying to work it all out in my mind.

He just released this short video interview put together by Pervasive Arts. Check it out to see some of Adrian's work showcased and learn more about the man himself. See more works at:
