Billiards
Cycling kit for Pactimo Artist Series
"Billiards" is my design made for Pactimo Artist Series. The pattern is printed on a stretchy lightweight and breathable fabric. You can choose between aero and traditional fit for road cycling or relaxed style for MTB. Pactimo collaborates with artists and designers around the globe to create one-of-a-kind, artist autographed jerseys and full kits. Pactimo Artist Series offers bold, bright and unique designs for cyclists who want to proclaim their confident individuality.
Because of my long experience in painting furniture and being crazy about layered, chippy, flaky and weathered paint textures I intended to translate that distressed feel into a digital pattern. Paint exposed to extreme weather conditions flakes, cracks, discolors and creates abstract piece of art. Art made by coincidence of sun, rain, frost, mechanical distortion and time. How to convey that technique into a virtual "plain" world? During painting I am experimenting with all sorts of paints, techniques and various tools to achieve this amazing distressed look. I digitized my approach, changed physical tools for software and played around with brushes, masks, filters and shapes to create a rusty distressed surfaces with a hint of color.
