King Lear

... I'll never be sure what this story is about - that sneaky Shakespeare! Is it about power? Is it about madness? Or maybe Alzheimer's disease? Or maybe the stupidity of being honest? None of them? All of them? Who can tell...

Travel by night

...may not turn out to be a terribly bright idea...

Meet the Main Character

More about him later...

The Sketchbook Project

It's been a loooong time...

Some illustrations from the Sketchbook Project.

Thousands of sketchbooks are being exhibited at galleries and museums as they make their way on tour across the USA. After the tour, all sketchbooks will enter into the permanent collection of The Brooklyn Art Library, where they will be cataloged and available for the public to view.

Little Light

Pirate on the docks

So... learning goes on! Today, about textures! From bittbox.
Also, did I mention how much I like the work of this guy?

Guess what...?

...character design!
And some great resources: Character Design and The Art Center.

Even more character design...

Hm... can it be that I have to much free time?

Status: Available

Score this design: "Status: Available," to help it get printed on Threadless!

More character design...

...I'm kinda starting to like this...

Character Design... sort of

...from a never-ending story, one that I've been turning around in my head since forever. Will it ever see the light of day?

Doodles...

...I love Shorpy.

Yes, that was a long silence...

...and in that silence I kept learning things - like the use of blue pencils so you can scan easier. Oh, and I discovered the graphic palette. And Rice Boy.

All these images are memories, some real, one fake.

Appointment in Samarra

...also known as Appointment in Samarkand, Tonight in Samarkand, When Death came to Bagdad and so on... Collage on cardboard, ink on top.

Memories of glass

A reminiscence of my time in Dublin.

Walls and memories

This summer, we decided to change the wallpapers. I took advantage of the one day when the walls stood bare, and fulfiled a childhood dream - drew on them! The hall was turned into a museum of personal memories. And just like real memories, the drawings are now unseen, hidden by wallpaper, but still there, still existing. Just like the place depicted in the engraving (aqua forte, aqua tinta) - a half-real place, the inside of the mind.

The Unreal Manuscripts -part 1

This is a postmodern interpretation of the sacred texts of humanity. A fake manuscript. A collection of stories I can just barely remember. And maybe, a fragment of what Jung called the collective memory...

Portrait of the illustrator as a young artist...

The title really says it all... I was always fascinated by the power of the illustration to "helps make something clear or attractive " as Google search so nicely puts it. Seriously speaking, a word is in fact an abstract idea - translating it into image is a strange and illusory process, but with breathtaking results.
Watch the young artist seting up to uncover the mysteries of the process, with one objective in mind - getting lost in translation.
