35 Year old freelance graphic designer, typographer and motorsport livery nutcase, known pretty much by AB or ABGRAPHICS but in real life its just Alex. I design everything from Typefaces to Apparel designs, Prints and Motorsport Liveries. Hoping one day to get into real life application of a design on racing team and see a digital vision become a reality.
Been part of the forza community and painting in the Forza series since Forza 1 but really got into it in Forza 2 where over the years been involved in some of the biggest garages in the tuning marketplace with ‘S&R Tuning’ and ‘Garage Redux’ putting out some staggering cars. Since the game had changed over the years I’ve just decided to go freelance in Forza so don’t have to paint silly cars with daft wheels! (Tuners, you know who you are!) But am still painting designs that interest me and push my skills further, to the most part spending hours just making logos!
Picked up few nice accolades over the years including having my Kabuki Lexus designed picked in Turn10 end of year awards as best fantasy livery, Interviewed and showcased by Turn10 (News - Forza) and more recently working with the eSports Teams of RedBull eSports, eSPORTS+CARS & TPR Total Performance Racing in the FRC with team liveries which has been interesting and a tough challenge! Gutted couldn’t make it out to California recently but hope to do something soon with the team.
Want to know more or just ask daft questions… go for it! I’m open to help and guide where I can.

Vinyls are shared in sets (Not Available as individual elements) Why you may ask?! Well by doing this it helps anyone at any level learn to paint logos! Trace any of them yourself! Pick one, place a transparent layer over the top and use shapes to trace them. Yes this is not an instant process but will make you all warm and fuzzy knowing you’ve tried it yourself! And you can then share your designs with the rest of community as well!

Some great stuff in here already and I know more is to come. I know you took a bit of a break from painting there for a while … but glad to see you back at it. The Forza paint community is a better place with AB paints in it. Keep up the good work.
You were asking in another thread for thoughts from a painter who had also used the GT Sport livery editor. When AB was away, he was doing some great liveries in GTS. No-one better to ask.
I’m just looking at that BMW base you have going and trying to work out in my head what’s on top of what. One of those at first glance ‘simple’ designs which is rapidly giving me a headache just looking at it. Clever stuff, glad it’s you that had to suss that out not me!
It goes without saying that your stuff is incredible AB! Awesome job all around on all of these, the new G-Mesiter 180 is sweet as hell. Happy to see the classics like the Kabuki Lexus make a return and I can’t wait to see what’s dow the pipeline. Just looking at that Vertex BMW has got my head spinning. I can’t wait to see the final product!
