Vector Artist & Creative Director

Orlando is a legendary nonconventional vector artist. From traditional to digital, agency to independent—he has collaborated with major international brands, and is one of the most sought-after artists within the movie industry.

High-performance Playtime

Orlando’s process takes him from a lengthy research phase to unleashing a spontaneous barrage of vector freestyle sketches: “I try my best to understand the client’s overall goal and how I play a factor in collaborating with them to achieve it.” He forgoes the traditional back and forth of reviewing pencil sketches with the client, jumping right into color for the first round.

For Orlando, work is play—the challenge is keeping it that way. His advice? "Find confidence in your own creative signature and don’t view other artists as competition."

Z by HP performance is the cornerstone of Orlando’s workflow. A custom, super fast PC helps him keep up with his vector freestyling.

“The days of pin-wheeling are a faded memory for me.”

Vector Artist

The past two years have been insanely busy for Orlando as the entertainment industry ramps up. It’s not uncommon to find him on a call with a director or masterminding a new film case design. Next on his radar is VR—an exciting medium perfectly suited to his immersive work. "Imagine if with VR you could travel the many vector points and paths within my art?"
