This commercial designer and illustrator from Dallas, finds his true creativity in his recent series of collage and abstract paintings, giving him infinitely more fulfillment. The featured works are bold, simple and thoughtfully energizing.
Randy Padorr-Black has received more than 400 awards for design and illustration over the years and have decided to pursue a less ephemeral expression of his creativity through traditional art making.
