Beauty in everything

I believe that beauty can be found in everything, even in ordinary, mundane, seemingly dull places and objects, even in places we conventionally consider ugly, dirty, uninteresting, even in places we seldom bother to notice such as: old doors and windows, peeling paint, rotten wood, decaying walls, moldy nooks etc. If we choose to pay attention we can discover incredible beauty in every little thing that surrounds us, no matter how unappealing it may seem at first. That’s probably the main reason why I like photographing filthy walls, old, trashy doors and windows and other elements of urban architecture. It reminds me that beauty, harmony and order can be discovered in most unexpected places if only we choose to open our eyes and see it.

fruit salad

Today I prepared some fruit salad for you, to refresh your hot Summer day or to sweeten up a cold Winter weather for you (if you happen to live in a place where it’s Winter now). Scroll down to see the ingredients.

Some friendly cherries.

Chubby kiwi mouse.

fruit buddies
Some fruit gentlemen, orange and kiwi seem in a good mood but lemon is a bit sour.

orange parrot
Orange parrot. Or maybe an owl.

kiwi fish
And the last treat… a kiwi fish!
Hope you enjoy the salad!

Summer (is almost here)

summer (is almost here)
Today I realized two things: a) 2012. is half-way gone and  b)wow! Summer is almost here!

If I had to describe 2012. so far in one word, that word would be: intense. I had really good times, really bad times (but luckily good ones prevail), I did  a ton of work, stayed true to all of my New Year’s resolutions and learned a lot of new things. And for Summertime that is just around the corner? Well, I’m going to spend it mostly working and doing personal projects which make very inspired and happy (speaking of which it might get a little quiet over here).

Do you have any plans for Summer?

tentacles of luv

Another one in my jellyfish series! Honestly, I can’t remember the last time I had so much fun working on a series as on this one. There is something about these silly underwater creatures that makes me feel very happy and inspired.
I do promise to take a little break in posting jellies, and my next post won’t be sea life related, I don’t want to bore you too much with medusas, hehe.

Today I’m also posting a work in progress picture, as you can see, when working on an illustration, I usually start with background and add the character last. I don’t use a tablet so all the elements are hand drawn and then scanned into computer and composed as separate layers into the piece. It may sound a little too complicated to some but it’s the process that works best for me.
