PAF

Last week i had the pleasure to be part of a painting expo - my first :)
PrintArtFest
I never expected to have a showing - ever. When i started drawing/painting i thought i will be able to enjoy this at retirement, out in the garden with a paper hat on my head and the grandchildren too noisy around me. Lucky enough i have been enjoying painting since the first day i started - well.. exclude the frustration that comes along and hits hard.
All thanks to new friends. I was fortunate enough to discover amazing people in the pursuit of fine arts who thought me the joy of... seeing in colors i guess.
It's why, maybe, later on, i picked on photos - again with no expectations.
So PAF was a surprise.
I got lucky again at the PAF since i didn't have to put up on the wall any major statement.
I was given the opportunity to promote the Self Portrait Day (Scroll down for about a month :) ) and so i did.
Next time i will actually have to think of what i want to put up the walls - i'll have to give a heavier meaning to my pixels.
Well... enough ranting - here are some photos from the expo - courtesy of fellow artist at PAF and good friend Dominus.

Detail on one of the self portraits and me facing myself. What a clown.






Thx for looking.
Next time... we'll have a message - ok ? ;)

It's time for me to take another trip - not sure i'll have the time to update - so see you next year.
Here's a look at the last shooting of this year.

Thx for looking and have a great 2011.

Pre-Christmass Christmas at Odeon Theater

As i mentioned a while back, it's been 10 years since i quit the theater/acting activities. I got back this year for a very short shot and i have enjoyed every minute of it. Lovely team and sweet project.
Here are some photos courtesy of the great Adi Bulboaca.















Oh.. and Merry Christmas!

Vice infusion...

I do adore the small and self conducted experiments each goes to. There were so few vegetarians when meat was hard to get ;. I keep hearing: I dropped the bread. I don't eat sweets anymore. We quit drinking sodas - we're on tea now.
And tea was the subject that day... swirling the mind without a teaspoon.



Every little shift comes from a bit of self love, a sense of sacrifice and a hint from... well... each time i made a change in my life was due to a muse.





Madalina owns a small tea shop. I now love tea and small shops :)





I still drink a lot of crap but i hope the vice of better myself will never leave me.

ah.. it's just a scratch...

i mean... a sketch...


on a side note - it's been 10 years since I've been on a theater stage.
Las Thursday i've performed along with a great team in a small project at Odeon Theater.
There might be more to it ;)

Small trip

Few weekends ago we found time to escape - and this round we left the rides at the bottom of the mountain - a tribute to our past youth.

Up... is high

Tribute to "Buza" who didn't made it. I've carried you on my back... like I always will :)

Green Peace is full of... plastic. Peace!!!






Perspective shifts with altitude... and mind goes round around...






Yet if you go high enough.. you get to the moon - right ?





This is a growing series:)


Thx for visiting...
