Dead Beat

by HEKStyle

Some of you may know that 1xRUN (one-time run) is one of the world’s leading publishers of fine art, and a top online destination for original art and print editions, shipping to collectors in over 100 countries around the world. So it was a privilege to be asked to debut my illustration, “Dead Beat: at times down, never out”.

The piece, featuring the Nike Air Safari silhouette in a precarious situation, explores self-exploration. Obviously, having gone through some turmoil and suffering from burnout and/or defeat, the cold blue colour scheme yields a reluctance to continue.
Laces out and flat on its side but with a breath of smoke softly flowing suggesting there’s fight left yet.

Utilising clean lines and a refined colour palette, but a solid composition makes this illustration pop.
