Cand o sa vad si eu ca romania va avea iarasi valori, ceva cu care sa ne mandrim ca popor? Spargem bani in marketuri, facem credite si ne rupem in figuri cu plasme, masini si kile de aur.
Asta ne reprezinta. Nu degeaba 1 Decembrie.. Ziua Nationala se rezuma la fasole cu… diverse carnuri la alegere. Si recentul “traditional” paharel de tuica. Ne vedem la stirile de la ora 5…

Si ca tot vorbeam de reclame… e reclama aia noua la apa [plata in reclama] care sanchi… e cea mai pura din lume. Cica 0% nitrati. Ei bine, e manevra de PR sa ii tina lumea minte. Pe langa faptul ca o sticla de 0,5 litri e cat una de 1,5 deci de 3 ori mai scumpa [si nu se merita chiar daca ambalajul e simpatic] aceasta minunata minciuna romaneasca are 0,8ml/g nitrati. Asta pe ambalaj, ca in apa… cine stie de la ce robinet bem.

Despre desene animate si pauzele de publicitate care imbie [cretinizeaza] copiii stiu. Dar de cateva zile… dupa ce ca ma uit rar, vad mereu o reclama absolut tampita. Ca parinte as fi revoltat de faptul ca multi copii si parinti totodata sunt dresati.
Mancare la plic. Cea mai buna. Hai sa ne indopam cu E-uri. Studiu de caz: 2 copii stau undeva sus langa balustrada si fac urat ca mama lor pregateste ceva cu legume. Dar staaai… mai e ceva… un PLIC. Si uite-asa stau prostii aia mici cateva ore pe vine pana cand sunt sarmalele gata….

This is for a dear friend from Pittsburgh, leader of the U.S. [selfproclaimed] fans of my work 😀
I started working on a canvas using an old photo. Being personal for the comissioner i can’t post the original for comparison but i can show the steps. I usually show work in progress but on this one i need to add some info with each step. So… first thing to do is drawing the characters and separate the background…
After a while, when my back doesn’t hurt that much i put a few brush layers around the characters and create the space using basic shadows and highlights…
After doing that i use the airbrush for some vignetting. Here’s the extra info. In the original photo there is a staircase in the left but somehow projected… something like a cinema movie. So i used the airbrush for that… blurred a little… i also used the vignette [extended for older looks] but most importantly to create a space like a soft landscape instead of a blank wall.
Now i’ll wait for it to dry and start working on all the details…

This one started as an idea a few months ago while i had to to a homework for school. Book illustrations, an experiment with the graphic tablet that i won in a contest last year. The canvas is 200×100 cm and as usual is made in a simple surreal ambient. I don’t know why, but i don’t like crowded paintings. After 1 week or so [over 20 hours a day] it is finally done.
Soon wil be varnished too but i might change my mind over some details.
