Wouldn't you like to go there!

Just trying not to let that creative muscle rust...

EASTER time already?

2008-03-20T00:13:00.000-07:00

It's time for a new post indeed…and a new beginning! It's almost Easter and my last post was in the Christmas time...maaan, how time flies when you're having fun :P Well, yeah I am having fun, but in a new other country than last year - I'm in UAE, Dubai and I'm going to be here for at least one year. For more stuff on Dubai and my life there check my other blog (which is soon going to be updated as well) - here.

Here is an illustration sample for a children's book to kickstart this new begging thing. :) I didn't thought got the job cause apparently I was asking too much money... which i wasn't. :P

Have a Zen Christmas and a Merry New Year everyone!

If I was an American illustrator

2007-12-04T15:34:00.001-08:00

...this or something like this would probably be my Christmas card to send to my clients. :)

Illustration Friday - Scale

Romantic

2007-11-10T06:16:00.000-08:00

Everybody has probably heard by now about this New York guy who saw the girl of his dreams in the subway and used the internet to maybe get a hold of her. He seems to have found the girl, they've already had their first date and "clicked", he says. It's of no importance if they'll last or not - that's a whole other story.

No matter how you look at it he's a romantic little fellow. And inspiring too - made me draw this abstract nonsense. :)

Oh...and for all the guys out there who are still clueless - this is what women want - this sort of sweet craziness and courage. Right girls? : -}

Illustration Friday - Trick or treat

2007-10-31T11:55:00.001-07:00

Uh - haven't contributed to IF in a while. Bad, bad, bad. What's even worse is that I didn't draw anything for the past week either.
But Halloween inspired me, and the 3 hungry monsters were born. They live on candy and Halloween is their favorite day so they've gone trick or treat. And just for the record - nobody tricks the hungry monsters!

Meet Vera! She's my character featuring in "Libertatea pentru femei" magazine. She has appearances in some of the columns and also in the weekly comic together with her friend Liz. Sometimes they are more funny than others. Just like me, eh? :)

Goodies

2007-10-03T02:04:00.001-07:00

Yupee! Got the stuff I've ordered from Amazon - The fundamentals of illustration and a Watson-Guptill sketchbook .
It took them about 15 days to arrive which is sooner than expected. I'm now ready to record my observations and ideas on my new sketchbook I wish to use a lot. Haven't yet read the book, but it looks neat - from what I see it takes you from the brief to the actual illustration describing the process and the different ways of doing it.

Sweet stuff

2007-09-28T00:31:00.001-07:00

These are few of the illustrations I did for Nestle Romania for their product Joe waffles. They were made to show the kids how Joe is made. Loved this project! And the client did too. Yey!:)

Happy b-day for my best friend!

2007-09-27T00:43:00.001-07:00

Today is Adriana's b-day - Happy new year my dear!!! May you have the best so far!

Portrait of a girl

2007-09-19T13:56:00.001-07:00

She looks like me -sorta, kinda, a tiny little bit. Maybe just the hair. In its good days.

More little ones

2007-09-12T07:49:00.000-07:00

Did these and the ones below for my own little moo sticker book . I'm waiting for it to arrive in a few weeks so you'll shortly get to see how it looks on the real thing ;)

2007-08-19T13:32:00.001-07:00

I'll be in Holland for the next week so no action on this blog for a short while. Off to meet some old friends. See you all very soon! "Toedels!" :)

Illustration Friday - Captain

2007-08-19T05:58:00.001-07:00

This is a piece I did for a soon to get married couple, but they chose not to use it anymore. I thought this is appropriate for this week's IF theme word. He looks like he knows where he's going and that's what a captain should know, right? :)

Illustration Friday - Emergency

2007-08-13T09:05:00.000-07:00

So this is my entry for this week's IF theme. It's my first try at non line illustration - looks kinda neat I think. Anyways - here it is - the heart on fire - that is quite an emergency although I don't think there's something anyone can do when that happens :)

Strange...

2007-08-12T15:58:00.001-07:00

Is this creeping you out as well?

Out shopping

2007-08-09T11:23:00.001-07:00

Shopping is fun when you do it randomly. I don't like to say - I'm going shopping, I'd rather go for a walk, to a movie or a lunch and in between I shop... But the thing with me is that I have very bad habits concerning shopping - I buy all the cute, unnecessary, weird, not useful little nothings and then I wonder where did my money go... that's great, eh? :)
Seeking treatment though...

Cookie is my cat. His favorite activity is chasing flies around. He actually catches them and I think eats them - wasn't very detailed in my observation on that one.

Hello Illostation

2007-06-01T05:28:00.001-07:00

Hello people! As if there weren't enough blogs on the planet, here you are, another one - ILLOSTATION!
The good news is that is all about illustration, the bad news is that it is in Romanian and except the pictures you won't get much if you don't speak the language. The reason is that we want to talk specific issues for the Romanian market and we want to be a place for Romanian illustrators and fans of illustration so we thought we'd keep the language local. For now at lest.

Well, since I'm part of the project and invested some time and effort in it, I'm pretty excited about it and scared in the same time! For me there are 3 reasons why I wanted to do this -
The first reason is purely personal - I find it hard to keep focus all by myself, so having a place to share stuff with people maybe going through the same struggles as me, makes it all easier.
The second reason is that I feel illustration is on the verge of becoming really big in the next years and I wanna be part of it now, then and forever. Uh! :)
And third reason is - man, there are so many talented people out there and so many resources and so much space to grow and create that it would be nice to have one place to help us do that!

That's about it. Now we just have to keep it going and hope it will grow and develop to become the most important station to stop when it comes to Romanian illustration.
Keep your fingers crossed people! :)

2007-05-29T11:10:00.001-07:00

I'm not gonna buy a car in the near future. The traffic jam is crazy at any hour almost. Subway works better. I'll buy a car though - the freedom thing rules as a reason, but when I'll afford a nature friendly one at least. :)
