Gifts for our families

This year we've decided to make unusual Christmas gifts for our both families, so I had A LOT of drawing sessions in a very short period of time.
Here they are; I'm more happy with some of them than with the others, but all folks seemed to be positively surprised.
It's mostly pencil on hand-made cotton rag paper, but also ink and pastel pencils.

So I encourage you to grab some nice hot coffee in this art-friendly cafe; they have a variety of prints, drawings and paintings on display - everyone will find something interesting there for sure!
I will post some photos soon.

Lux Vitae Meae - Light Of My Life


Lux Vitae Meae - Light Of My Life
This piece has been done the 'dot' way using 0.10 Rotring Rapidograph. I wanted to achieve here the mood of medieval occult drawings, but also sneak in some Moebius and Stasys Eidrigevicius influence.
21x29cm; ink on paper.

Below: detail

The winner will be announced next week (I'm biting my fingernails right now...); there will be only two guitars like that produced - one for Steve and one for the winner, so the stakes are high!

'Exposition' - T-shirt design


Quite hard day today, but I managed to convince myself to do something creative. Here's my t-shirt design (you can buy it from my Zazzle store - link in the panel on the right); I think it should look alright on white.
Created with 0.10 rapidograph - cool stuff, very precise.
The idea behind it was to get the feeling of old medical books, but add something unusual - hence the musical notation.
