Wonderful works.. I was captivated by the Emperor's New Clothes artwork.
Though I am not quite fond of “dark” themed art, it's still refreshing to see artworks like these.
Well, Petar, you know I like the dark stuff. I really enjoy these glimpses into the art and illustration of another culture. I feel very much connected to European illustration and specifically to those with that twisted eastern flair. But I guess you already know that.
Another nice take on Smaug on the cover to The Hobbit.
Best,
Aaron
Not really my style but I guess if people like it more power to him.
Thank you for your comments, guys! I am sure Ivica will be pleased.
Hi Bill, I really enjoy when artists are willing and able to stretch their minds beyond the boundaries of their own world, and reach for the inspiration that is to be found in the way other people (cultures) reflect and talk about recognizable, common things. I think this is one of the imperatives for being, or becoming, an outstanding artist.
I know you have the urge to transcend the ways of the ordinary world, I see it in your art, and I am grateful to you for that, and for mentioning it on this blog as well.
First, I would like to thank Petar for posting my artwork on this blog. He made me a great honor because he included me in The Masters of Contemporary Illustration. Thank you all for your comments! Appreciate it!
Cheers!
Ivica
