Shady lately

1 min read
As the summer comes closer to its end, I have nothing to contribute due to obligations and duties. Yet MUSIC is still the main inspiration and I have been getting these crazy ideas, yet I don't find them original or challenging enough. However, the melancholia and flow of Evanescence's music truly serves as a realm of beautiful visuals just waiting to be put on a certain medium.

Interestingly,
pop-music is also a never-ending inspiration and that is, I believe, the biggest quality of contemporary lead pop-singers who heavily rely on their visual representation as means of connection and branching out to the fans. In fact, it is their constant visual reinterpretation that enables them to incorporate a variety of different artistic solutions which are often brilliant and perverse, so perverse visuals is truly what I am aiming at.

We'll see... Also, moving to a completely different country and culture will undoubtedly open my eyes in a fresh and different manner, which I am thrilled about!

I do not know if 2012 is in fact the year the world will end and I don't really seem to care since I do not believe in that, but if it does come to an end, I will make sure to dance and create till the world ends!

For some reason, I was always lousy with doing caricatures, but for the last couple of months I've been drawing like crazy... Really feel the need to put all the great stuff that I've drawn and get some feedback. FEEDBACK is the crucial word and concept because I really feel that people in this community are somewhat too benevolent. in other words, they will hardly ever say that something is bad, wrong or just not good. In that respect, my friends, I honestly welcome you to see my stuff, comment on that and give your straightforward and honest opinion because I believe that is the only way one can improve oneself.

I've encountered and came across many talented artist which make me very humbled about my stuff, but I do want to learn (by no means copy) from them and explore my own possibilities. Illustration and dreamy/eerie artwork is what inspires me and holds my attention at the moment.

That said, I welcome you ALL to check out my stuff and suggest your own and other people's art.
All best,
Chaotiv!

I've been doin' some reading for my first Masters degree, actually for the paper and I have to say that it is really astounding probing with your canonical knowledge some other, unfortunately, marginalized aspects of literature. That process can be eye-opening, though it may sound like a cliche, but it definitely is.

Anyway, I am finally inspired to do some drawing, so I hope to scan it soon and put it here. It reflects my sympathies for the popular-culture demons :-p

Well, while talking to a friend of mine, I was encouraged to make a little, tiny, slightest chistka, or purge of my gallery.

I decided I did not really like half of those stuff put there, so this is kinda like a fresh start. Besides, I'm getting back to my first love - drawing, so this thing is gonna be packed up with bunch of new illustrations and photos.

Think that some new people inspired me, like Adam Lambert and Lady Gaga. Respect! Their appearances just amaze me. Think I'm about to explore that artistic direction.

+ I am preparing an amazing exhibition this March, inspired by Alice in Wonderland. What a cliche...

The end of the year and it seems like we're just halfway through it... Gosh.
The commotion about New Years Eve just pisses me off and I am staying home just to be by myself and on my own. It is sad how people just adhere to the absurd shallow norms of our screwed society.

I just hope the next year will bring more and better changes than the previous one.
Hope for health for my friends, my family and myself...

Oh, and I hope that next year will be THE year for Downcast Art! Cross my fingers!
