Vectorwhiz portfolio booklet


I have created a new portfolio in pdf the you find here, that you can download to view offline. The file size is 28 MB, so slow connections may need some time to download the document. I have resampled the images to 144 DPI (original resolution is 300 DPI) so that download time is limited while the appearance of the images remains acceptable.



Front cover page



This 88 page booklet was created in Affinity Publisher and contains:

  • vector portraits
  • vector paintings
  • vector illustrations
  • vector logos
  • vector T-shirt designs
  • pixel portraits
  • pixel paintings
  • 3D illustrations
  • 3D vector technical drawings
  • creative text - poetry


In the footer of each page in the document you find links to the TOC (table of contents) for easy navigation and a link to my website. The vector images were created in Affinity Designer, the pixel images in Affinity Photo and the 3D images in a 3D program named Rhinoceros v5. The poetry texts I usually create in Libre Office.

Affinity Publisher had trouble with the file for reasons so far unknown, but fortunately I was able to churn out a pdf file before it did. Publisher officially still is in Beta stage at this point, so it makes sense that things are not stable yet. I have good hope though that the developers of Serif (the owner of the Affinity programs) will be able to correct the bugs in a time not too far from now (July 2020).

My website - should you want to pay a visit  [wink wink, nudge nudge] - was made in Mobirise, the latest version of which seems to be much more stable than previous ones. Out of frustration about older Mobirise versions I wrote some unkind words about it (with good cause at the time) a few years back, but the latest version has not given any trouble so far.

Re-created my VectorWhiz website

I re-crated my website - https://vectorwhiz.com - because the previous one, built with Pinegrow all of a sudden mysteriously became corrupt. It was beyond my skill to fix it. I rebuilt it with Mobirise, since Pinegrow would not allow me to re-install the version that I bought a few years back (in which I had lost trust anyway) and Bootstrap Studio still requires too much coding. This may be a good thing for hardcore coders, but not for me. So Mobirise was probably the only option left to get back on-line within a reasonable amount of time. The site needed some changes, so this was as good an opportunity as any to do it.


VectorWhiz logo



The site logo, by the way, is based on Marko Rodin's vortex math, that I believe to be related to (beneficial) ancient occult knowledge that has a more intimate bond to the real reality than what it is commonly believed to have. In a kind of cynical way this personal perception is circumstantially substantiated by the fact that Rodin's site has disappeared from the web. Making true information go away is one of the specialties of the powers that be that are interested in carrying out their concealed agenda, not in the truth. Obviously I do not share that point of view, since it is based on values without value, i.e. on a system that demands submission and obedience to a totally corrupt entity.

I've always clung to the principle that disobeying the insane is never illegal, which I also try to reflect in (most of) my art, even if not in an obvious way. This is for instance done by assigning values to drawing functions that either comply with vortex math principles or the numbers preferred (for good reason) by Nikola Tesla. So, the magic goes into the invisible meta data of the images I create and not observable doesn't mean absent. If you're really interested in what this implies, I'm sure that you'll find more information on this subject somewhere on the Internet. To the aware it will be worth their time and effort. Visit my site and have a nice day.
