The Illusionist.

2010-01-31T18:51:00.003+02:00

Well this symbolises an ending and a beginning. The end of a 4-year relationship and the beginning of (hopefully) something better of which I've always dreamed of.
A lot of changes will and have already taken place.

White palms and hierarchy.

Well, last night was awesome. Why? Because 3 of my photomanipulations were featured in the Damned Fine Art Exhibition in Detroit. Ok, nothing new there. The cool part is that I was exhibited among artists such as Marilyn Manson & H. R. Giger. Yes, seriously, you can see it here: http://thatdamnedshow.com/art/
The whole thing took place on behalf of Devil's Night and will continue today in the same place, Detroit. You're welcome to join, as I'm sure you won't regret! My prints will be for sale there as well, so if you've been craving for a print of mine you can buy one that's ready to be put up on the wall. The works from my folio that were included are Greed, L'Intrus and Inner Quarrel [they're here on the blog, too].
I'm gonna go stroke my ego now!

Lustful thinking.

New series. More soon.

Cyclothymia.

2009-09-08T17:51:00.003+03:00

Cyclothymia (pronounced /ˌsaɪklɵˈθaɪmiə, ˌsɪklɵ-/) is a mood disorder and a form of bipolar disorder. It is defined in the bipolar spectrum. Specifically, this disorder is a milder form of bipolar II disorder consisting of recurrent mood disturbances between hypomania and dysthymic mood.

Schizophrenia.

I remembered how to....

2009-07-29T21:22:00.005+03:00

Guess what, my fellow watchers / visitors... I remembered how to draw after all these years and got into graphics / art university too. And this is just the beginning.

Ow, and both drawings have approx. 1 square meter each... bigger is always better.

Inner Quarrel.

2009-06-24T19:07:00.003+03:00

This was probably my first serious photomanip. Posting it because inner demons are always in fashion!

Poppet.

Well today was Ariana's 6th birthday so I paid her a visit and, of course, took some photos. She's grown a lot since last time I photographed her, which was roughly 2 years ago. The main difference is that she's posing now, opposite to just being spontaneous in our previous shoot. I plan to keep photographing her...as long as she lets me do that, of course :D

Neglected Wonderland II.

2009-06-08T21:50:00.000+03:00

It seems that clowns aren't seen as funny and entertaining by children today...

Abortion.

2009-05-03T02:16:00.001+03:00

About how life today is just like a thread. About good decisions and bad ones. About sacrificing yourself or sacrificing the other.

L'Intrus.

2009-04-27T11:12:00.002+03:00

Free your mind.

Neglected Wonderland.

2009-03-23T23:02:00.004+02:00

It's a well-known fact that people these days, especially kids, do not have time or interest in reading anymore. Thusly, classic tales and modern ones alike are left in the dark, with ignorant people forgetting to even glance at them from time to time.

Moral? Read a book everytime you can!

The cemented garden.

2009-03-18T17:17:00.001+02:00

Title from one of Ian McEwan's novels. Because they're so bloody good!

The Judge III.

2009-02-19T00:14:00.001+02:00

No more masks. No more coruption.
Now you're in their place, the door's right beside you but you can't reach for it. You're in their place. In your place.

End of the series. Hope you've enjoyed it!

Cancer.

2009-02-10T23:57:00.002+02:00

Even though you think you're in the best of health, disease always creeps up on you. We are all blindfolded when it comes to it. Therefore, we need to open our eyes and be careful.

Thanks to Sylvie for posing!

Centerfolds.

2008-12-07T22:12:00.004+02:00

All the centerfolds that you can't afford
Have long since waved their last goodbyes

All the centerfolds that you can't afford
You've long since faded from their eyes

[Placebo]

_{Yes, Placebo has been my favourite band since 1998. That's 10 years. I can't even express what Placebo means to me and has always meant. I can just create this.}

The Judge II.

2008-12-03T22:35:00.002+02:00

...in the end, the innocent blood surfaces and your corruption pays the price.

No strings attached.

2008-11-23T18:47:00.000+02:00

Experiments again.

The Judge.

2008-10-23T21:27:00.002+03:00

Even though corruption spreads like plague, you still hide behind your pretty masks.

The infidel.

Schism.

'To make things short, a tribute to Jarek Kubicki:

You may know the song from Tool...and you may also link certain symbols with a certain holiday and a certain person. That, in order to shed some light on why those "deviant" - as someone called them - branches are there.

L'Avare.

2008-04-16T19:08:00.003+03:00

Continuing with the so-called sin-perception series (haven't thought of a proper title yet), I bring you avarice.

I consider that avaristic people are poisonous like an ivy, limit our freedom, as that of a bird, and we all know what happens when you deprive a bird of it's freedom. They also have black hearts, not being able to shed a tear for the sake of others.

Inspired by Moliere's play, l'Avare and the mythological theme of Narcissus.

Issue nr. 3 of Bulb Magazine is out!

2008-03-12T15:01:00.002+02:00

You'll find one of my photos, along with other excellent work by fellow deviants, HERE. Mister OhYouHandsomeDevil. was kind enough to send me an invitation to include this photo:

Please go see it. It's really worth it!

Small exhibition in France.

2008-03-09T15:00:00.007+02:00

Just dropping by to announce that I'll be participating in a group exhibition in Villefranche sur Saône, France. I am participating with 4 photos:

The exhibition is in relation to the 10mots manifestation. The opening will be on Saturday, the 15th of March, at 5 p.m, at Centre Culturel Associatif Beaujolais (73 rue de la Gare 69400 Villefranche / Saône) and will last until April 30. Unfortunately, I cannot participate, but if anyone is interested just contact me here and I'll send you a pdf copy of the invitation. This way, I may have some insight on how it all went too.

Cheers.

Little red riding hood.

2008-03-01T14:52:00.009+02:00

I've seen her. She goes by the name of Ariana in our real world..but every night she goes to the little bookshelf in the living room, takes out a book and steps in. Next thing you know, she's back in her own world.

Les 10 mots 2008

2008-02-28T21:16:00.020+02:00

Some of you may know that last year I got into the final exhibition of the "Les 10mots" manifestation included in the international French week. So I decided, after some long convincing, to participate this year too. The photos I went for are underneath, with their associated word. For those who don't know, I had to make a photo to represent each word. Enjoy and let me know what you think.

Apprivoiser (to tame)

Boussole (compass)

Toi (you)

Jubilatoire (something that makes you very happy)
