Graphics by Jordak

Welcome to Graphics by Jordak. A few years ago my family and I went on our first Disney cruise and during our preparation for the cruise, we discovered door decorating. I was reluctant to the idea at first of decorating but quickly found out how addicting it can be. For me the addiction is designing the magnets rather than the actually act of placing them on the door. I get way more enjoyment knowing somebody appreciates my work and willingness to display them than for me to hang them on the door. Although having a design of any kind sure makes finding your room a lot easier.


  There is a very popular Disney forum where I discovered the addiction of magnets the first time. There was a thread that you could post your magnets to share and this is how I really got started with this type of graphics.  I tend to lean more for surreal and dark art but doing Disney/Cruise themes is a nice balance and challenging at the same time. At the time I discovered the magnet thread, it was primarily just two women sharing their work but  it was Milliepie who was the person who everybody wanted to get designs from and rightfully so. She has a incredible library of designs she has put together and truly a great designer/artist. She definitely set the bar high for me to want to keep coming up with different designs.

So my style is probably somewhat based on trying to be different from her. So at first I set out to make something simple that I thought would be a good magnet design and surprisingly it became popular as well. It was a basic license plate design like this one that resulted into many requests and my beginning as a Disney magnet designer.




From here I started adding to my own library of designs and started to advance my designs to designs like this with many different characters:                                

After awhile I was inspired to make a journal which I was very reluctant to post because up until this point, most just wanted the Cute Disney designs. Right away when I posted this design, the requests started rolling in so that pretty much opened the door for me to try all kinds of designs from shadow boxes to working in 3d as of late. Anything that creatively challenges me and my constant yearning to learn 
as well.

So my style goes all over the place. Some designs I really loved making and put a lot of time into, but for one reason or another they never took off like I would have thought so I have to be aware how far to push some of my designs. Which is still okay. Ultimately I do this because I just love to make anything and try different styles of art. I go through stages with what interests me. For awhile I made a whole series of minimalists posters with different Disney themes. Those didn't take off but still loved that period of making them.

Then once in awhile I make something that really surprises me how popular it can be. Here is a T-Shirt design where somebody was asking for something where

they can have 15+ names to be part of the design. This idea came to me really quick and how the challenge to figure out how to make it came pretty fast as well. It is probably the simplest to make, but I really am happy to see it requested so much. My goal is to see somebody wearing it in the parks the next time I go.  












So here is just a taste of what you can find here. My style goes all over the place but hopefully
you will find something that is reflective in your tastes. As I come up with new magnet designs, I will post them here and will revisit old designs as well. Remember that all my work is free. A thank you is all I ask and show them off proudly!!
