Art provided by Gabe Marshall

Long before he became a visual storyteller, Augusta artist/designer Gabe Marshall was the kid who carried a sketchpad everywhere.

“We went to the park, I had it. On the school bus, I had it,” Marshall says. “By the time I got to junior high and high school, everybody was like, ‘We already know exactly what you’re going to do.’”

The answer was obvious. He was going to make art.

What was less obvious was how that artistic instinct would evolve into a career that seamlessly blends fine art, graphic design and illustration. Today, as both an independent designer and someone working with Windsor Fine Jewelers, Marshall has become one of Augusta’s most versatile visual communicators, creating everything from branding and advertising campaigns to award-winning posters and intricate illustrations. 

All Marshall’s illustrations areVector Files done in Adobe Illustrator.The Old Bugatti (above) is aPhotoshop illustration with 513 layers. It was Completed from scratch as a blank canvas and built up through all of the layers combined.

And yet, despite the technology, software and commercial demands that define modern design production, Marshall’s aesthetic and approach remain true to what appealed to him as a child. He is an artist fascinated by details.

“I’ve always had an affinity for how things work,” he says. “As a child, I would take things apart just to figure them out and put them back together. I think that [allure] naturally flows into my art and design.”

That fascination is immediately visible in his work. Marshall’s pieces often possess an almost architectural precision. There is a draftsman’s discipline beneath the creativity — a sense that every line has purpose and every detail earns its place.

It is a sensibility that developed alongside the rapid evolution of digital technology.
