jing wei

jackbig
in the next month d*s is going to be launching a very, very exciting contest for any artists who specialize in illustration, pattern design and surface design (or anyone who’s ever wanted to try those fields). i can’t give away too much, but it’s going to be all about helping out up-and-coming designers with an opportunity that’s almost too good to be true. so lately i’ve been researching illustrators and surface designers, looking for people who might be great contestants. and today i was thrilled to hear from brooklyn illustrator jing wei. her style is right up my alley and i love the color palette she uses. i’m hoping she might consider joining the competition, but until then, click here to check out more of jing’s beautiful work online.

[ps: if you're a student or designer who is looking to get a leg up in the illustration/pattern/surface design industry, get your profiles ready- we'll be announcing the contest, details and prize(s) soon...]

Hi, I was just wondering about this competition. I know you’re keeping it under wraps but will it be open to illustrators around the world or just in America? It sounds very intriguing :)

hi pavlov

sadly we had to delay the project a few months because we’re working on an exciting new project for d*s, which we’re announcing next week ;)
