About Me

What's so creative about a rectangle?

You're most certainly right. Rectangles are boring. But that's only because you're not looking at them right...

That pretty much sums up what I do with my animation and illustration. I often make the extraordinary out of the ordinary, but most often out of nothing at all.

My name is Sebastian Certik, and I am that rectangle-bender!

My work, heavily influenced by 80s and 90s music videos, underground comics of the 1960s, vintage fantasy art, plus a hint of ragtime and early 1900s ephemera, aims to be humorous, bizarre, grotesque, and sometimes shocking. Heavy use of color, exaggeration, a wide range of interesting styles and techniques, and sheer intensity, evokes and plays with the emotions.

And you'll also occasionally see a pig lurking where you least expect to see it.

Some random facts…

• Besides my work with Rectangle Creative, I am also a graphic design student at SNHU.

• I collect antiques.

• I own a VCR and still watch VHS tapes. I don’t care if they’re obsolete.

• I play piano, and I occasionally write songs.
