Unexpected Surprise

We love surprises, as a child we grow to unexpected them when treats are given by our parents or from the ones that loved us. In a surprising moment one would be showering in happiness. Wide eyes, stretched smiles (beyond its usual limit) maintaining frozen as we analyze the mysterious present.


Today, I got an award from deviantART a "Daily Deviation" on one of my recent collaboration piece with Kamilk Kotarba . It is an award to a selected art piece of the day. To receive one of this is quite rare due to the amount of amazing artists that are in the community. This has been my second. Unexpected surprise...

This award goes to Kamilk and I, not just myself.

Kaboom Collaboration - With Waver-h

Let's dance. The flow of graphic pieces over my previous creation "Bird Queen" whom has been worked on, once again by Waver-h. His stroke of genius took on a more vibrant style to incorporate the model's beautiful facial features.

Taking the original color schemes and dance with it. Splashes of water color, systematic vector waves, rainbow flow, continuous movements from the right side of the picture plane to the left giving the illusion of a fish.

More so experimentation than anything. Waver-h and I took this collaboration into a different turn, and a good one I might add. With this and many more art work yet to come, our expressions are in form of colors, and abstraction of shapes revealing a slight hint of talents from us visual artists...

...simply look at what happen when freedom is given to expression.

Kaboom Collaboration - With Kamil Kotarba

This week I had the privilege working with Kamil Kotarba, whom is a graphic designer and an illustrator from Poland. We worked on this new collaboration piece "Beauty" combining photography with graphic design elements. Giving our own definition of what beauty is, questioning the beholder.

Beauty

The graphic elements as it is beautiful existing with the scene creating a sense of day dream effect. They are in forms, shapes, abstraction in motion about to become something more, something new. Emerging from the depth of one's soul to desire. If one's desire is to have it stay as is then it will remain so, and if one's desire is to have it turned into a majestic scenery then it will. Depending on the complexity of the imagination, and the will to transform it into reality. Easy said than done.

With what we have here are the combinations of the abstract shapes remain in it's first stage, glowing, springing out from the beautiful model's body. Visual that no one else able to see, like a vision to the one whom is infatuated with another person, no one else can sense the feeling that is surging through the mind and heart creating passion, and beautiful thoughts towards the one they love.


Beauty that lies in the appearance of the model (of course), beauty lies in the fashion, in the arts that applied, and in the image. Most importantly, beauty lies in everyone's effort to help others reach their goals in life with the beauty we have, or with the beauty we create...

Kaboom Collaboration - With Waver-h

It is like a relationship. To me this art project "Kaboom Collaboration" is working out nicely. With a good relationship between two people is equal with the common goal in life. Waver-h and I continue to produce great art together, striving for something different that we can call it our own. There are two purpose to this project; To demonstrate our talents, and to inspire others to inspire others.

Bird Queen...

This new image is called "Bird Queen" same title as the previous series. I don't see how a title should be used once. It is part of an interpretation and can be reuse over and over by the same person or anyone. Not to mistaken with domain names, that is a different story.

Simplicity with a mixture of complexity at the same time. Beauty lies in the emotion that is in the gesture of the body, the way she stands, the way she look, hand on her chest speaks a great deal of what she is thinking...yet it is unknown.

The photograph itself is always in a moment, timelessness, yet the graphic add motion, anticipation to the future as it only exist first in the mind. The playful bird accompanying the beautiful queen in her lonesome moment, even the darkness itself cannot wash away the radiant from her. Hopeless romantic.

A small inspiration we have just sent off into the universe...

Enjoy this new piece.
