Title: SDL InnerSpace Origins Vector Vintage

Author: Sam Diellor Luani

SDL InnerSpace Origins Vector Vintage contains vector graphics created in old graphic editors like Macromedia Flash and Micrografx Designer, in the early 1990s. Some of these works have bee hand-drawn on paper or overhead sheets, in the 1980s, then scanned and vectorized in 1992 or 1993, when I bought my first scanner. The themes are early explorations of form, symmetry, surrealism, and kitsch. These images document the transition from analog to digital, preserving the tactile essence of my hand-drawing through mouse gestures and vector paths, through various studies with this purpose.
