About Grafika66
Welcome to Grafika66.com. My name is Baz Pringle, and I am a British artist and designer, currently livinig in Southern California.
The work on this site represents a selection of art from my ever-growing explorations and experiments.
After leaving my home town of London, I studied Illustration and Graphic Design at LCAD in Southern California. This led to a deep love of both disciplines, and ever since my work has been an attempt at merging the two.
After graduating from art college, I started to work in the entertainment industry at Virgin Interactive, as a 2D artist. I worked on video games during this time and was quickly introduced to the world of high-end 3D art production. The almost endless possibilities were fascinating to me, and as someone who’s always loved technology, digital media and coding, it was a natural area for me to explore.
After becoming experienced in both 2D and 3D commercial art production, I would go on to produce both types of work for many fortune 500 companies in fulltime and freelance capacities.
Working as a commercial Designer and Illustrator in a variety of industries allowed me to explore many styles and production techniques. But after some time, I needed an outlet to explore my own personal style outside of external client inflence, hence Grafika66.com was created.
Established in 2005, Grafika66 allowed me to explore the marriage of traditional art production techniques with the latest in technological ones.
My sources of inspiration are really too many to list, and to the outside viewer, may seem almost random. Inspiration can come at any time, but I’ve noticed the most common is when walking city streets, and being overwhelmed by the variety of visual stimuli. At these moments, ideas often come and it’s then a matter of interpreting these fleeting moments of inspiration into a visual representation.
The work on this site continually evolves, but the consistent theme is the continued effort to marry my passion for both art and technology.
Thank you for visiting,
Baz
