Kam Tang, renowned for his work with brands like Adidas and Nike, is celebrated for his distinctive illustration style featuring Gumigos, digital creations that resemble gummy snakes and other playful entities. His creativity leverages Adobe Illustrator, experimenting with textures and materials that render fantastical visuals. Despite the rise of advanced 3D modeling programs, Kam prioritizes manual craftsmanship using just a laptop trackpad, which allows him to infuse his illustrations with an enchanting human touch and personal flair. His work stands out as a testament to the artistry of digital illustration.
With some happy accidents and exploitation of program quirks I started to push what could be achieved within Illustrator.
But crafting by hand bestows that magical human touch that is found in an oil or airbrush painting.
The flurry of possibilities Kam's unique aesthetic offers is what makes these illustrative works so mesmerising.
I do not use a drawing tablet or mouse, all my work is made using just the laptop trackpad.
