About the Artist
Learn more about Vinny Symes and his sweet-themed digital art journey
Hi, I'm Vinny
I'm a digital artist based in Garforth, UK, with a passion for creating vibrant and playful illustrations of sweet treats that bring joy to any space.
My journey as an artist began 10 years ago after studying Illustration at the University of Arts London. I was always drawn to creating art that made people smile, and what better way to do that than with everyone's favourite sweet treats?
My work focuses on three main categories: nostalgic ice creams in all their delicious forms, the iconic Terry's Chocolate Orange (a childhood favourite), and traditional Yorkshire sweets that reflect my heritage and home.
Each piece is created digitally with meticulous attention to detail, vibrant colours, and a touch of whimsy. I aim to capture not just the visual appeal of these treats, but also the feelings of joy and nostalgia they evoke.
"Art should bring joy, just like dessert."
My Creative Process
How each sweet digital artwork comes to life from concept to final piece
Research & Inspiration
I start by gathering references and inspiration, often visiting local sweet shops and ice cream parlours to study textures, colours, and unique details.
Sketching & Composition
Next, I create digital sketches, experimenting with various compositions and perspectives until I find the perfect arrangement.
Digital Illustration
I then bring the sketch to life with vibrant colours, careful shading, and playful elements that give each piece its distinctive character and charm.
