Gabriel and I collaborated on a project for a client of mine, Living Way Church.  I had already designed Living Way’s corporate identity, and collaborated with Cotten:Tech to do a website for them as well.  Gabriel and I worked together to develop a logo for Living Way’s new youth ministry, which would be called 2Twenty2, based on a scripture from II Timothy 2:22.

2twenty2We were successful, as Living Way is using the logo, and has gotten a great response from it.  Gabriel has a fascinating digital design style that I call Neue Graffiti.  If the art of graffiti were to be reinvented, Gabriel’s work would be at the forefront of the movement.  It’s painterly, raw, textured and original.

He’s got a new blog site up showcasing some of his work in traditional mediums: graphite pencil portraits, pen and ink drawings, oil painting, and so forth.  Check it out! Gabriel Leake Portfolio
