in other news _ i'm starting over

haha. i guess i've said that or

something similar numerous times before.

but then again, so what. it happens every
now and again. starting over, i mean.

so after two years as an art director/layouter
at a small trade magazine for "all things baby and
kids", i am now free to embark upon my journey
as an artist slash illustrator slash craftsman
slash ... (i might fill this in later).

i know i shouldn't share this lest it
wouldn't turn out the way i had planned it,
but i do. i need to share most everything
anyway just to put myself out there and
to maybe gauge the worth of my little
"darlings", so you would've
noticed anyway.

what's more, today marked my 44th
birthday, so here's to a (hopefully) wonderful
new section in the life of me.

one thing _ bent

i like the surreality and the simplicity

of this artwork ("gebogen foto") 

by nico kok.

i like these distorted photos that ernesto artillo made for delpozo ss16

nice, aren't they?

ernesto artillo.

he also seems to be quite a busy man,

it's something that i really look up to

in a person because i still seem

to struggle with some laziness...

funny thing is, i'm still optimistic about

being able to change.

:)

three colors _ photography by carissa gallo

i love this series titled "color studies" by carissa gallo.

interestingly, she says that her

"color studies are a look into how things of the same color,

both natural and unnatural, interact with one another", but

as you can see, this series is as much an exploration

into color contrasts as it is into color harmonies.

it's an ongoing series, so head to her page

to check out the rest of the colors and pics.
