Thoughts about art...

Mon Apr 13, 2009, 2:30 PM
Lately, I have way too much fun with Photoshop. I have been working on a couple of projects and am really proud of the outcome of some of my artwork. The new interest in buildings I found a couple days ago is extremely fascinating and satisfying. Especially, the poster that has been uploaded today gave me a great sense of accomplishments. I can feel how creativity finally comes to life.
Some words about some projects that I have submitted in the last couple months:

My personal favorite, "Trapped in a Tree", took me an afternoon to create. The idea came from a bad dream I had the night before and couldn't stop thinking about it. Lord of the Rings came to my mind very quickly, and I hope you can see the inspiration there too. Just mentioning "Bombart". There is a big possibility that I am going to do something similar again.

The brand new piece of art named "Glass Cube in the Fields" is set as my current wallpaper. I have been working on this project all weekend until I got a satisfying finish. Believe me, there are five more versions of this picture saved on my computer. The lights in the cube are fascinating and warm and bring a comfortable and soothing feeling to the night sky. I am very proud of this submission and hope that I will have more of these buildings in my "Out of Place/Out of Time" series, but it is just a beginning.

The poster "Jessie" is one of the great shots I took from a roof top in the Lower East Side in Manhattan. The Chrysler building is somewhere in the skyline I believe. It was just a perfect afternoon in New York City. Every time, when I look at this picture, I feel the relieve of a vacation but still the busyness of such a big city.

"Grunge" was the result of an experiment with a scanned wrinkled piece of paper and some doodling and experiment with curves, filters, vectors, and brushes. Someone said in the comments that it looks like a CD cover which I have to agree with. I never intended it to be since my musical skills are still very unprofessional.

There is a relatively old project in my gallery that shows an X-Men poster with a not so common Wolverine. I believe that this was one of the first projects I have ever finished in Photoshop. My buddy Dustin agreed to grow the beard and work out in order to make this piece happen. His favorite happened to be Wolverine. I also have a Nightcrawler version which came from one of my best Halloween costumes.

All right, this is it so far. I am eager to work on more projects so I hope I will have more very soon. Please send me some suggestions, especially buildings who you would find interesting to see in my "Out of Place/Out of Time" series (there can't be a series if there is only one, right?)

Thank you so much for this nice comment. I highly appreciate it since I am pretty much a non-professional and your work is just amazing. Let me know when you have the final finish of that picture.

In reality I am a mere mortal trudging through time and space only to leave these digital marks for future trudger's that follow.

I need to focus more on art... I haven't been here in a while and now, since I have Illustrator, I need to let my creative urge free flow
