Discover me...

on Discovery channel...
you know? like the song :)
I've been asked to give a hand to a small program aimed at kids (or more so at their parents) all about... finding a passion and turn it into a job... or such.
It runs on Discovery channel and many other sites and i hope i didn't made too much of a fool out of myself.

 

dance dans le dans.

I've been following the rehearsals of a new show based on the notes of Nijinsky.
Here's Monica Petrica - prima ballerina of National Opera and Filip Ristovsky choreographed by Malina Andrei.
I'll come back with more material as the show will pick up.
 


and fooling around a bit

Broken Lunch Break

Incredible how human hands get rusty so fast.
I try to remind myself how hard it is to get back to drawing after a break - and nothing better than the lunch break to break the broken habit. Yet things get smoother and tend to perform better when more people get the same mindset - so i have filed a complaint to my friend Dan who's currently in Germany for a ping-pong match.
I started by sending him the very first doodle.. the warm up. I was just loosely splashing colors interested to nail some details in the shadows while a strong light source is around. A things for subtle values. What a mess:


Well, my friend Dan being amazing with his environment started to bark on my about perspective and construction and such - and he was right. This is what he sent me back (the happy guy took what he please from my sketch and had his way with it) Yet, i'm a guy who likes to build and follow along... yet.. i had to fix his colors :) and went on adding some details, changing the proportions and having a good time. This is what i sent back:

Currently he mumbles about how he doesn't like unfinished work - so.. i'm standing by for the update from his side. In the meantime... i fool around and doodle. I should go out there and get myself a model (we all need models in our lives no ? ) and take my hands (my eyes and my brain) on a study or two. In the meantime... fooling around should do (it's crazy how stuck the mind gets when you try to break away from the comfort zone)

Past projects

So back in October i think... i decided to give acting another try - after 10 years of pause.
For about 4 months i've been involved in this project as a dancer/actor.
It was during this project that i got another audition to the Odeon theater - and i've managed to be part of the "Film of Stage" debut show - already covered here a while ago.
Anyway - i had to drop out of this since things at work were heating up - when it premiered i was out of the country so i never had the chance to see the final version.
I recognize some moves though... and i had fun dancing.

I Got Shot (again)

I am considering to take a break from photography and focus on other things but i ended up close to a camera again. I had the pleasure to be shot by the young photographer - Martha Sarah - from Butterfly Caught
I will post my shots as soon as i find some time to sort them out.
Thx for looking.

Mobile Round 3

My appologies for the drag. I'm swamped with work and most of it... i can't show yet.
Here is the round 3 of mobile snaps. (you gotta scroll a while for the previous rounds i guess)
I'm not going to tell the stories here...but i hope you can make your own.
Enjoy.
























All pics taken with a Samsung Galaxy S and the RetroCamera Free app. Damn technology :)

Previews...

oh dear...
I haven't been lazy at all but i wasn't just as lucky.
Here are 2 previews of two shootings that are almost ready for display. Almost...
And i've added another picture of the days i was a half-red-head just to motivate myself to paint some more (i've been doodling lately in lunch breaks but the results are always dull.)


I'll explain it all once i'll post the real photos - As usual there are Models, Makeup, Hair, Set Design, Location, Hand Painted stuff and the rest of the story... i'll say it all with the rest of the pictures.

And this one is part of a mono-light double shooting experiment (yeah.. shut up already)


oh - and the red alert:

That's it for now. Have a great weekend. I'll go busy.
