imagination's swirling exuberance

 HELLO!

So, here comes the new work from the series Wild Fantasy which was developing for a quite long amount of time. I'm not even sure how long this post will be, it definitely will be pretty long (I hope you won't feel bored during reading this).

Before I get stuck in showing the creative process of today's work let me remind You what is Wild Fantasy. This series consists of the black-and-white pictures with colourful accent which were made with pens. All of them happened because of ideas recorded on paper as doodles - ideas showing ladies in outfits with colourful accent with animals, and sometimes with flowers (it depends from the background I chose for the picture - sometimes it's the environment, sometimes it's architecture). So far I've created images with colours like green, blue, red, and violet. Actually, back in 2023 I intended to make a picture with the yellow accent. Due to the certain circumstances, I've reached a conclusion that it would be better to realise a picture with violet accent first, and save the yellow one for later.

So now, let's start the long story about the Wild Fantasy with yellow accent.

Enjoy!

This doodle was the starting point. Here you see long-haired lady with white top, and a full-length skirt with spiral ornament. This skirt was supposed to be yellow. As for spiral ornament - it's supposed to be Klimt's reference. I imagined this particular figure surrounded by an environment in the style of Art Nouveau.

the Poetic Graphics: the Treasure Seeker

 HELLO!

Back in 2014 I travelled to Tatra mountains in order to see Morskie Oko. The beauty of the lake was mesmerising, and this journey inspired me to wrote a poem Poszukiwacz skarbu. Here you can read an original poem if you are interested. 

It's really old poem. Recently I thought it would be a good idea to translate poem, prepare a special background for it, and made it a part of the series the Poetic Graphics.

Hope You will find it enjoyable.

4 in 4: Maple-leaf

 HELLO!

So, it's time for the 20th comic strip from the series "the Four Seasons in Four Frames", which is also known as 4 in 4. There are 2 protagonists of this short story - Summer and Autumn.

PLOT:

Under the maple tree Summer and Autumn met in order to perform a certain ritual.

As always the translation of bubbles is below the comic strip.

ENJOY!

FIRST FRAME

Autumn: ... So, there is just us - Spring is sleeping, Winter's exhausted because of the heat.

Summer: In sum, I'm not surprised about it.

dreaming in the meadow

 HELLO!

Lately I was working on a drawing showing two sitting ladies leaning against their backs. I felt an urge to draw them because of a certain photo which I found in thin book with aphorisms (there are quotes like "Natural abilities are like natural plants that need pruning by study." by sir Francis Bacon).

In the upper part of this photo you can notice a photo in the mentioned book. When I looked at this photo I thought it would be fun to create a picture with two figures sitting like that. But show them in a different way, in a dreamy setting.

blue sorcery

 HELLO!

Occasionally, I find a strange pleasure in taking photos of trees. There's something fascinating in staring at complex trees' branches as they try to reach the sky. It's a usual thing for me to experiment a little with these photos in graphic software.

This is why this post came into being - I've created another surreal graphic based on a photo which you can see below.

I took this photo during the stroll in January 2024.
