The Very Talented Anneka Tran

"Single Tree" 3D Illustration by Anneka Tran. Visit her blog at http://annekatran.blogspot.com/

Many of you I am sure have been admiring the illustrations on our site.  We’ve put them there to distract you from the writing.  All of them were done by illustrator Anneka Tran, a young, energetic and very talented lady from Staffordshire, England.  Anneka has her own blog and website which shows her amazing selection of illustrations and work.

The blog also gives an indication of her impressive work ethic, with something new and gorgeous posted almost every week.  When we brief Anneka for an illustration it takes longer for us to pick up her response email and approve the drafts than it does for Anneka to whip the illustration itself.  Sometimes it’s actually scary.

The artist’s latest, self-assigned large scale project was an illustration (well more like a series of illustrations) of The Table Of Elements.  How’s THAT for self-motivation?  I don’t think I have ever given myself an assignment.  If I hadn’t partnered with Kate on this blog and given myself some outside pressure I wouldn’t get anything done.  You can check out Anneka’s Table Of Elements here.   Art meets geek, and the result is amazing.  Be sure to scroll down on the article to see the larger images.

It’s not the first time Anneka has gone a bit mad scientist. She also did a solar series, which you can also see on her site.

While you’re there be sure to go and check out the rest of her work.  Pictured is one of my favourites from her 3D collection, which was one of her first so she’ll probably be all OMG I was so BAD then, but of course it’s awesome.  There is something I really love about it. Maybe because it’s kind of Christmassy.

I also like this other 3D work of hers . There are so many more I love, so I won’t keep going.  Best you go to her blog and decide which ones are your favourites.  Let us know in the comments.  And keep an eye on this very talented young lady.  (Correct, I get to use “young lady” now. You get a certificate giving you the right to use it along with the birth certificate of your first child.  And she actually is. Young that is.  She graduated last July! and talented, obviously).  Anyway, like I said, watch this space, she’s sure to be a star.
