Graphics & design

I also consider focused graphic-design projects such as brand identity work, illustration, and layout for digital or print.

I work through a small, deliberate process — discovery, concepts, refinement, delivery — so the final piece fits the brief and is ready to use.

Email a short project outline to hello@justindeed.ca and I’ll reply with next steps.

Art commissions

I consider custom artwork for personal, professional, and interior settings. A helpful first message includes the intended size, subject, timing, and approximate budget.

Send the details to hello@justindeed.ca and I’ll reply with next steps.

A brief history

Pushing pixels since 1993

Founded in 2017, Justindeed Design Co. has consistently been at the forefront of things I should be taking more seriously. This business is not my full time gig; it's a creative outlet and an extremely inefficient and expensive way of making new friends (worth it).

I’ve been making digital art since 1993, when I was given Mario Paint for the Super Nintendo as a gift. Mario Paint was an early paint program on a game cartridge that used a mouse as its controller.

Time playing brain-rotting video games was strictly monitored, but Mario Paint, a creative pursuit, had fewer restrictions. So, when I wasn’t playing Sonic the Hedgehog, I spent hours painstakingly recreating scenes from my favourite games in Mario Paint, pixel by pixel, looking up at the flickering TV tube from the shag-carpeted floor.

The shag is gone, but the curiosity about technology as an artistic medium never left.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Where is Justindeed Design Co. based?

Justindeed is the art and design practice of Justin Holmes, based in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.

What do you make and sell?

Original digital art that I print locally as large format art pieces, small prints, greeting cards, coasters, and other small goods. I try to make things that I would want to own at a high level of quality. If you want something specific please get in touch.

What do you mean by "original digital art?"

The artwork is created using digital art tools and issued as a physical object. I use my hands to move my mouse and push the keys until art comes out of the computer. I don't use a stylus and tablet because I never learned how.

Each listing will state whether that object is unique, part of a numbered limited edition, or an open-edition print, along with its materials, dimensions, signature, and reproduction policy.

Do you use AI in your artwork?

No. I create art as equal parts self expression and flagellation. The process, time, and personal decisions that go into making each piece are just as important as the final product's visual appearance. Handing off creative decision making would deprive myself of that anxious journey, so what would be the point?

I do not use generative AI to create or alter artwork. I use a computer as a creative medium, but the concepts, composition, and final decisions are entirely my fault.

What happens after an original artwork sells?

The work remains on the site as part of the archive and is clearly marked Sold. Keeping sold work visible documents the body of work and gives a more complete view of the practice and evolution.

Do you accept commissions?

Yes, I consider selected art and design commissions. Email a description of the project, intended use, approximate dimensions, timing, and budget range so I can determine whether it is a fit.

Do you provide graphic-design or licensing services?

Yes. I consider focused graphic-design projects and licensing enquiries for selected existing artwork.

How are shipping and Victoria pickup handled?

Available shipping options for prints, cards, and coasters are shown in the shop during checkout. Shipping, delivery, or pickup is available. For larger original work, appropriate arrangments will be confirmed before purchase is finalized.

Is Justindeed available wholesale?

Wholesale enquiries are welcome for suitable repeatable products such as greeting cards, small prints, and coasters. Email for current terms and availability. Generally, whatever is visible in the store on this page is available wholesale.

What rights come with an artwork purchase?

A purchase transfers ownership of the physical object only. Justin Holmes retains copyright and reproduction rights unless a separate written licensing agreement says otherwise.

What is your art process?

Every piece starts with a mood, a reference, or a persistent idea. I work digitally with a mouse and keyboard — no stylus, no generative AI — and make decisions about colour, composition, and detail over several sessions. I keep going until the work feels resolved rather than merely finished, then prepare it for print or publishing at the highest quality I can manage.

What is your design process?

I start with a short discovery phase: what the project needs to say, who it needs to reach, and where it will live. Then I explore directions quickly, present a focused set of concepts, and refine the chosen direction through feedback rounds. The goal is a clear, usable result that the client actually wants to use, not just a pretty deliverable.
