There are many internationally renowned photographers, digital artists, and designers. What about vector graphics, one of the simplest and most stylish ways to depict reality? Well, this area has its own favorites, in particular, Autumn Whitehurst, depicting celebrities and beauty queens through dots and lines, with which more than 40 international companies collaborate.

Vector graphics are a way of representing complex objects and images in computer graphics, based on the use of geometric primitives such as points, lines, splines and polygons (definition from Wikipedia). A very interesting and, apparently, a fairly simple form of art, which for some reason is much less popular than raster graphics based not on lines and points, but on pixels. The only thing that comes to mind is the name of Tom Velen, who used vector graphics to create vintage posters of cinema masterpieces.

Autumn Whitehurst is considered one of the favorites in the field of vector graphics, and the number of its clients is the strongest proof of this. Born in New Orleans, she now lives in the Brooklyn area of New York and works as a full-time illustrator. She does advertisements, CD covers, and in her free time studies the history of whaling and plays with her bird Mango. Her clients include Ecko Red, DNA Studios, Wired, Men's Fitness, US Elle, Vibe, London Telegraph, Time Out NY and a dozen other names.

“My illustrations are more streamlined than the aesthetics of my life,” says Autumn Whitehurst. “The fact is that I grew up in a family of hoarders, and, apparently, should have been predisposed to collecting unnecessary trash. I have so many unnecessary things at home that I think I will soon throw everything out of the window. In contrast to Autumn Whitehurst's living quarters, its sparkling illustrations contain no unnecessary details, everything is simple and stylish.

After graduating from the Faculty of Arts, Otumn did not do anything for the first time, she rested, slowly getting used to the life of an adult, weaning, accordingly, from student life. Then, after some time, they were sitting with a young man in a cafe, and Autumn Whitehurst found material about illustrations in the newspaper. She said then: “This is what I want to do!”. And the guy said, “So get busy!” Autumn Whitehurst is always headlong into work, and is very worried about the client's reaction to every initial sketch she sends. Otumn says he gets the best results with his intuition. Apparently, it was intuition that made her one of the favorites in the world of illustration and design.

Autumn Whitehurst's website features two galleries of her work.
