Follow your dreams!

Some of my resolutions for 2014 was to concentrate more on my own art, to be more creative, and to draw and paint a lot more. And now towards the end of this year, I can say that I did it!

I followed my dreams and changed some things in my life, that were keeping me away from what I really wished for. I can't say it was very easy, but it was definitely worth it!

 

 

This is an experimental, mixed media painting/collage I did last year.

"The Perfect Bait" by Bobby Chiu

Just bought for myself a new and amazing book by Bobby Chiu "The Perfect Bait" (my Christmas present for myself ). I'm sooo happy because of it! Bobby Chiu have always been a great motivator and inspiration for me and his advices helped me a lot, especially at the beggining of my artistic way.

If you are an artist and you're interested in this book, now is the right time to get it ;) For a limited time there is free shipping world wide and you get access to the audiobook version as well.

More about the book: http://theperfectbait.com/about.php

P.S. I'm already started to listening an audiobook and already feel myself very inspired! :)

Inspiration

What can inspire me? Hmm... everything? Even dirty corner can give me new ideas, like it was recently... I know it's crazy o_O

What can you see here? Are you inspired? Probably not...

But I can see a little dog there :) And this made me to draw an army of different dogs. Here is only few of them... just sketches :) 

Pin-up girl

Recently I found an old playing card with an amazing pin-up girl, unfortunately, I don't know who's the artist of this painting.

I always liked pin-up art, but never painted it before, and I decided to try something new for me and made my own interpretation of this girl.

Motivation and Inspiration

I want to share with you two motivational and inspirational videos. They inspired me much!





Don't give up and follow your dreams!
