Guitar Colour Song

2011-07-29T02:22:00.000-07:00

This fragment is from an old project made a few years ago. It was a brochure for a guitar shop. Trying to capture the mood of the instruments led to an experiment and then to this. Here are parts of guitars splashed with tints of different vibrant colours! So abstract but at the same time lyric, very much like music*

A red lifeline introduces the viewer into the writer's journey through this old Transilvanyan town, wondering the streets of the city as it reaches from one end of the book to the other.

A day without a sketch, any kind of sketch, is a day lost, I really, truly believe that. Illustration for me is a kind of therapy against stress and against failure.

Peeping Tom

2010-06-03T11:31:00.000-07:00

What might look like a horror flick, at first glance, turns out to be a quite good movie. The story is original, without the cliche that haunts the average horror. I would even say it's a clean horror with no explicit scenes of blood or gore, but its psychological tension is not to be underestimated.

Mark Lewis had been tormented his whole childhood by a father who's life study surrounded the sentiment of fear. After being used in various experiments, as a child, Mark grows an obsession with women's reaction to fear. But he doesn't stop there, it seems he enjoys not only frightening them, but also killing them and recording every detail of the murder on his trusted camera.

Great plot for a horror, wouldn't you agree? Well it's just half of the story (wink). Better not spoil it for you in case you haven't seen it yet.

One of a Kind

2010-05-10T04:36:00.000-07:00

Don't you just hate it when you see another girl (God forbid boy) wearing the same blouse, T-shirt, or anything that you are wearing? Well I do! So I made this. It's custom, hand-made, one of a kind, no duplicates possible! I'm talking about my Betty Grable Impression. I can now wear it proud and say: -No, you don't have it! If you want anything customised just let me know ;)

The drawing board

2010-05-03T13:36:00.000-07:00

So this is where every artist's work starts out. At the drawing board. For this contest I had to use only pencils, markers or brushes. No Photoshop allowed. I choose a red of marker, a black liner for the very intense shadows and some colouring pencils for the more subtle shadings. In the next post, I will show some of the first sketches.

Here's where it all started...

The previous post was about the T-shirt I made for Musi, entitled "Everything I Do Is Magic!". It was a lot of work, not easy at all. I actively participated to all the phases of the project, beginning with the designing, the choosing of the material, the printing, cutting and applying final touches. It was a lot of fun though and I'd do it again anytime!

Guess It's Fake!

Six Signs Your Guess Is A Fake

2010-04-15T06:42:00.000-07:00

1. Watch out for the pattern! The best way to determine whether you have in your possession a fake is by paying close attention to the G logo pattern. Cheap copies use very poor quality material and make a lot of sloppy mistakes.

2. Look closely for the GUESS by Marciano signature an engravings, if you have a good sense of observation you might notice slight differences in the fonts (the character of the letter is not quite the same as the original).

3. Glued instead of sewed or visible marks of transparent glue are definite signs of counterfeit products.

4. Plastic instead of metal. I doubt GUESS by Marciano would use for buckles a cheap combination of metal and plastic or just plastic polished to look like gold.

5. Low quality material vs good quality material. Shoes, for example are not supposed to be rigid. That is not quality!

6. And of course the price. If it seems too good to be true, well, sorry to disappoint you, but it probably is!

Bernhard Exhibition in Sibiu, Ro

2010-04-11T03:47:00.000-07:00

I've been waiting for a month now to find some courage to write my first post here. I noticed that long posts containing just words don't look very attractive, so I'm gonna keep it simple. You know what they say: "Simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication" (I wish!).

Getting back to my post, I never thought I'd witness such an amazing event in my hometown, and yet here it is! Wonderful exhibition by Lucian Bernhard. If you're in town you can see his works at the Brukenthal Galleries Str. Tribunei, nr. 6. until April the 30th.
