The Illustration Work Andre Junget

By Kerisha Collins

The USA based freelancer, Andre Junget has a vibrant and full of life portfolio on our website. With a wide selection of designs displayed, Andre has managed to create the pieces in a collective fashion, where his familiar designs relate to a specific topic.

This self-taught illustrator began his career in 1991 and has won Awards of excellence for his designs in 2005, 2008 and 2009 from ASAI. The illustration he displays range from classic automobiles, architecture and house portraits just to name a few of his precise illustrations.

His work identifies his drawing in detail, those designs without colour show the intensity of the object he has drawn and you can see the effort put into the illustrations with the shading and immense detail.

Andre explains his love for architecture as "the way it used to be". Those architectural designs are based off home-fronts, building exteriors and landscapes. These will contain water colours, pencil and pen and ink designs, drawn by the hand of Andre. Take a look at his piece, Water Villa, which shows his skill with water colours. The piece is set on a blue background and a designed boarder to add more visual effect.

Studying in the architectural field for some of his designs, he believes he has stayed true to himself through his interests, desires and beliefs as an artist and as a human being.

Andre's work is considered to be a very analogue, traditional type of designing and he believes that architecture has somewhat left the building so he is trying to reinvent himself to create a genre that could another career for him.

Andre would like to continue to evolve as an artist and as a business person as he now wants to take on the marketing world with the combined already obtained knowledge of working with clients.

It is very difficult for aspiring artists not to be inspired by the work of Andre Junget. He clearly makes a living from his skills and focuses on enjoying what he does best. If you find your self in a situation where your not enjoying what your doing then think about subjects or things that make you happy and draw them. Some of the most successful artists would probably tell you that they would practise their skill without being paid for it. So focus on doing what you love and the financial rewards are just an added bonus.
