Description My 'fine art' work has been put on hold for some time, mind you not by choice but there you have it..life throws it's curveballs. So to keep my creative side from going insane, I have been trying to learn illustrator. This is one product, a personal logo for myself inspired by the spiral found inside of a nautilus shell. I affectionally call the end result 'citrus sea'.

Ooh this is a nice logo design. The colors are really pleasing to the eye, not too much contrast, but the shapes are interesting enough to draw you in/make you curious. Definitely very nice

thats a really beautiful design. It really stays true to the natural and organic feel of your work. It's sleek and elegant, but not sharp and corporate looking. It looks very friendly actually

I second what katarthis said & have to share the optical illusions in your design, as well. I can definitely see the nautilus shell influence in it. (And don't you just envy mother nature's ability to skillfully come up with these designs on her own? It is only something we can mimic & marvel at, I think.) But I can also see what appears to be the stripes on a tiger's tail as it swishes around. Taking another close look, I can see an eye looking back at me, too, feline or otherwise--It could be anyone's guess, really.

I love the colors you chose, as well. Very natural & an earthy feeling. It works exceptionally well with your business card design & the sillouette (of Balaa, I'm guessing...?) puffing out a breath of air. Or in your case, your e-mail & URL. Everything's wonderfully well done!

I know you said that you're just starting to learn Illustrator, but you could've had me fooled. You appear to be a natural at it already!

Because the logo is curvy I think it still suits your very detailed art style. Interesting color choise with the brown background, I'm pretty sure it will work fine on white too. (in case you want to print it on things)
You can see a lot of things in it, like tiger stripes, or whatsoever. It has a natural feel to it

Looks like you've been busy carving a name for yourself in the real world. Gotta make money somehow. I applaud you on using business type material for your logo and adding your own creative twist to it. Not an easy happy-medium to pull off.

This is lovely! I like it a lot C: At first I thought it was a wave in a circle, which I thought was really cool. Waaaaave of imagination 8D But then I read the description and now I like it even more! You always apply the most interesting things to your artwork. Sometimes it's really unique stuff and sometimes it's pretty simple...but the end result is always lovely <3

I really like how simple this is. It's very creative and colorful; your color choices were a really good choice...I think it suits you. It looks really tropical. It kinda inspires me to make a logo too. Awesome work!

This fantastical and practical design suits you well I hope. And we're sorry that you have to put your deeper more complicated workings on hold, but yes, life does have a way of doing that.

You mention a nautilus shell and I can see that, but there is more to the design than that. As such an artist delving into the forms of nature and imagination, you'll undoubtedly know different people see different things, but when I look at the whole I see a nice dandelion puff, the stem the L of your name. Whatever, it's rather cool. And your other buisness card designs are well worthy of printable efforts. I realize it may not be an actual attempt to do such, but hey, way to sell yourself.

Oh how wonderful, I love it when people share what they see with me. Now that you mention it, I see it too ...and that idea certainly appeals to me. I have been trying to use more rich/punchy/summery colors in hopes that it will jog up my will to start creating again. It's not lack of ideas, but I'm afraid my hand will not cooperate with my mind...but I stay positive. I am sure I will be back to creating more art soon...nothing will be gained by being negative.

As ever, thank you for your insightful thought out comment. You always manage to string a smile across my lips.
