dusk city rendition



the unintended holiday break finally allowed me to make something of my own.
due to my increasing interest in digital matte paintings, decided to put a little scenery together.
the most challenging part of this was to let my hand lose and allow myself to make mistakes.
for a while i struggled to draw straight lines in photoshop but eventually i forced myself to just enjoy making the picture. that's when i felt things come together.
a little step but it's okay for fact i rarely do this kind of things and am rather submerged in the 3d world most of the time.
i meant to depict something post apocalyptic. and of course with a subtle guilty conscious since hurricane sandy left significant damage to our friends and co-workers homes.
now it looks rather like shanty town.
i hope to continue the momentum and produce more digital paintings like this down the line.
hopefully without being tied down by hurricane next time.

bad girls



just as much as super bowl to me is synonym for fanatic, passion, craze, patriotism, and over hype,
ironically it turned out that it best describes, represents america as a nation. 
again with the media driven craze, we are faced with controversy- m.i.a. flips bird during halftime show.
while super bowl controversy is becoming a bit of cliche, i thank the 'incident' as it brought my attention to the talented director name romain gavras- son of the oscar winning greek director constantin costa gavras.
romain is responsible for vision behind another m.i.a.'s controversial music video 'born free' which i cannot say is my cup of tea but couldn't help but to recognize the genius behind.

m.i.a.'s latest music video 'bad girls'- also directed by romain caught my attention with its eclectic flavor.
okay. forget controversy, propaganda, hidden messages, political side of things as i don't understand a thing about those matters.
i find this video fresh and gorgeous. it is- a candy coated visual pleasure.
cinematography, the fashion, beautifully brown skinned m.i.a. and her hair is good on the eyes. 
horse riding arab in desert is packed with emotion with its time and vibe different from of rest of the video.
make fun of me when i say i wanted to cry moment i encountered this beautifully crafted video but i'm still thankful to super bowl controversy.

One of a few spots from year 2011 that I'm actually proud of taking part: (Responsible for modeling 3D bee and hero flower.)

On a side note, Pete Candeland is one of the most talented creative directors I ever worked with-
It would be my honor to work with him again, hopefully in near future!

rather perverted depiction of chaotic barbaric brutality with masterful painterly touch.
repeatable scroll idea is just brilliant and %100!
