Wired Magazine's Money 2025 money issue, aptly titled "It's a Rich Man's World," as imagined by artist Lisa Sheehan. How did she bring this piece to life? In her own words: "To make the credit card as authentic as possible I redrew the American Express pattern in Illustrator with the WIRED headline included. The card was then created in Cinema 4D and I drew the etching of Trump in photoshop. This all came together and was animated to give the feel of an apple pay screen. This was a multi disciplined approach, 2D textures drawn and then rendered in 3D." You can check out the animated piece and more of Lisa's work here.
Welcome to Sara Gironi Carnevale who recently joined Début Art. Sara lives in Italy and has been illustrating since 2016. Sara works digitally but her process remains traditional in terms of brainstorming and composing. The illustrations are done in a sketchbook before refining them in Procreate and then finalising all artwork in Photoshop. Her work is vibrant, luminescent and dreamlike, with intricate details, strong concepts and compositions. Sara has the ability to present complex topics in a way that is visually easy to understand. Her illustrations can be seen in numerous magazines, newspapers, books and prints. She has also been experimenting with animation. See Sara's full portfolio here
