Epitaph of a poison surfer

Posted March 26th, 2011 in Artă, Mai trist ca ficţiunea by andrei

I am become a carnival of starving lions. They’re not sure what color my eyes are, but they paint me blind. Then they say I’m no good anymore, like a broken toy that doesn’t bring in any joy to anyone else.

They look at me like I just rest on the shelf, coils springing out the sides, stitches open, shoes lost in the sandbox.

They would look the other way if I confronted them about it. So I don’t, and I tell myself “remember you don’t really care”. People are poison.

And well, the other poison is poison too. Give everything up. The only way to win is not to play the game.

The junkie tilts his head back and dies.

Rest.

And from the ashes come s a clean paradigm: to live as if it never happened. They won’t notice.

But she will. In the land of dope fiends, the clean behemoth is king. They won’t crown him. But she will.

The world may never be mine, but if the poison washes out, she will.

Red Nose Day piece done!

I bet Cthulhu never saw this one coming....

(Special thanks to the MRK brothers for helping and tweaking this piece into something more than decent. Lighting and cropping turned it around. You guise are awesome!)

Stop 1: 8/24. Pulling over for a shower and food.

My best friend in the whole world, Dominus, says this is retarded :(

Marathon – drawing monsters for 24 hours straight

… or until death do us Art.

I’m like Jack Bauer with a pencil. Livestreamed so you can laugh at my lack of skill while emptying your wallets for worthy causes.

Also, if you like people Who Fight Robots, you’re in for a surprise.

Let’s do this!

In other news, I found a muse.

She scoffs “just fucking do it, stop rationalizing.”

She’s right. I get distracted by the need to argument. Like now “some people just want to know there’s a person behind that wall of text.”

I deflect “Some don’t.”

Arching the edges of her mouth like a wild cat prowling, my friend retorts “Why do you care? You’re not forcing them to read and we both know you’re not an egomaniac.”

I’d say Maybe I am, but in the end, she’s right. If it saves a pedantic, conceited speech every time someone ponders why I am who I am, let’s sum it up on a page and skip the explanations.

So I made a Me? page for the benefit of absolutely no one.

Oh and these are my latest doodles worth posting, studies of various intent, and I feel like I’m taking a small step forward with every sketch. But I’ve been wrong before.

Faithless, Fratele Nord @ Base Club and 24 Hour Monsters

Posted March 17th, 2011 in Causes and missions, Events worth mentioning, Livestream by andrei

God is a BJ,

Let’s assume you’re in Bucharest on Friday, the 18th of March, 2011.
Let’s assume you have no plans. Let’s assume you need some.

You can attend a Faithless concert projection, at 8 PM. The Alexandra Palace gig will be played in Base. *This is a projection, not a live performance*

Then you can check out Cleg and Zoné, collectively referred to as Fratele Nord. A duo of similar pulsing energies, electronic molecules with a dab of retro icing.

Long story short, if you meet the prerequisites above, check out their live AV session, from 10 PM to early the next day.

FrateleNORD – De dragoste [MIX] (16.01.11) by frateleNORD

Event here. Their homepage is here, where you’ll find three studio albums and two sets.

I’m gonna be busy drawing Monsters all day for the event described in the previous post. I’ll take a two-hour break in the evening to drop by and see what they cooked. Which I’ll make up for afterwards. You can see the livestream here and any attendance, contribution and feedback is absolutely appreciated and encouraged.

Red Nose Day

Posted March 10th, 2011 in Artă, Causes and missions, Livestream, Truismuie by andrei

Drawing the ugly for a beautiful cause. It's like swimming in a river of shit for a kiss.

Drawing ugly things for a beautiful cause. It’s like swimming in a river of shit for a kiss.

I’m tired of petitions, debates, endless, pointless and unsubstantiated talk shows revolving around poverty and contemporary issues that can be fixed. Everyone has a say and a strategy in it.

But I’m not tired of the issues themselves. Just people yapping about them to no end.

So let’s fix them. I came across Red Nose Day, a fundraiser encouraging people to put ideas into practice that would encourage people to donate to a worthy cause. And some dude had the idea of running a digital painting marathon and streaming it live.

What’s that?

Next Friday, on the 18th, we’ll start drawing monsters and streaming it live on the Internet for 24 hours. This means we can’t stop for anything other than bathroom and smoking breaks and we have to keep drawing monsters until the deadline expires.

Here’s the Team Page. Here’s my Live Stream Channel. Oh and this is Jamie, he came up with the idea on his blog.

I’ll let you know the exact time well in advance, and thanks for reading.

DA Competition Doodle

Posted March 8th, 2011 in Artă by andrei

Working on my entry for a competition that has us use a fruit, a cat and a clock in one composition.

Thanks to Vlad for showing me some shading techniques, and I know it’s rough and I know the anatomy is messed up and I know the perspective is also messy.

But I’m working on that. Crits and stuff welcome, my DA Profile is here.

Let’s play lazy – Talent is bullshit audio mix (feat. Zoné of Fratele Nord fame)

Posted March 4th, 2011 in Truismuie by andrei

Zoné and I got a bit shitfaced and figured we could have some live fun. So we hit Skype and I read the “Talent is Bullshit” post out loud while he did some live mixing. End result was pretty fun, though it’ll get some tweaking whenever.

Talent is bullshit by Neon Machina

Fun was had. At the end there will be cake.
