I usually get my inspiration almost from everything, but people are my main inspiration, their appearance, relationships, conversations, feelings. Almost all my works represent my own emotions and desires and means a lot for me.
I use PS most of the time for collages and SAI for illustrations. I also like traditional media and use it a lot, but it’s more like practice.
I usually do abstractions, play with colors, textures and materials.
I’m not afraid of weird things or “wrong” people, of thinking out of the box and breaking the rules.
We’re only here briefly and while I’m here I wan’t to enjoy things that are beautiful for me. I don’t care if it’s for me only and other people find it disgusting, i just follow my heart and living my own life.

Dracula’s bedchamber, from Dracula by Bram Stoker

Romeo reaches Juliet’s tomb, from Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare
Romeo’s face is what sells the moment here – you can almost hear him saying “Whoops! I shouldn’t have taken the scenic route to get here…”

Oona the Witchmasker
I will tell you one tidbit about this guy: what you think is just a mask, is his ACTUAL HEAD!!!!! WHAT?!? His original head, which was removed ritualistically in order to become a more powerful Witchmasker, is hanging from his belt. Deal with it.
Ambassador Grexander Quann
Quann was a regular visitor to Gateway, and a welcome friend to many, but his visits required a good deal of preparation, planned routes, and a constant escort, to ensure his safety, and the safety of others.
Kento Vess: Birdmancer
This piece will be featured in the upcoming “Gateway: The Book of Wizards”, an illustrated book that I am self-publishing.
It details the lives and exploits of some of the most famous and infamous wizards of The Great City of Gateway, and their connection to the underground movement to over-throw Chancellor Gideon and his Inquisitors, who have outlawed magic within the city.

Yolandi Visser (stylized as Vi$$er), is best known as a rapper in the South African rap-rave group Die Antwoord.
The band self-identifies as a melange of several diverse cultures all mixed into one.
Die Antwoord identifies their style as “Zef” music, Zef being an Afrikaans term which loosely translates to the culture of working class white South Africans, especially those residing in Cape Town.
