REAL Blues Player - Robert "Wolfman" Belfour
Hi there,
Among my many interests, I love music, especially Blues. Unfortunately, not many authentic Blues players came to visit my humble country, and I had to dream or to find them overseas. You could imagine my surprise when I found out that Robert Belfour, an original Mississippi Blues player, will come to do one show here. To be honest, I never heard about him, but the critics, his appearance and his songs seemed to be perfect!
His style is down to earth Blues, no percussion, bass or electric guitar, just the acoustic guitar and his 72 years old voice. It is really difficult to listen to this style for a long time, even if you are a Blues veteran, but this was an opportunity that I couldn't miss. I was eager to hear him, and even more, to take some authentic pictures.
When we got there I was very surprised, we had to stand, there were no chairs or tables. If you ask me it was kind of strange - it was not a Rock show. It was quite crowded and dark, but I've tried to capture the best possible photos. It wasn't hard - Belfour has made 90% of the work.
Take a look :
The pictures were darker than I expected, but they deliver the mood and the personality of the artist. I think that using the flash could have "killed" the authentic atmosphere.

Digital Dog Portraits is Online!
Hi there,
Haven't been here for a while... I know, as I told you I've been working on my new site DigitalDogPortraits.com and finally it is working and active :) I know that I'll have to do some tweaks along the way, but at least it is complete!
For those who were waiting for a new digital art, I'm glad to present my latest creation. Directly from my new site : Baster the puppy.

For those who were waiting for a new digital art, I'm glad to present my latest creation. Directly from my new site : Baster the puppy.
Baster was created using a new technique that I use - Digital Finger Paint. It's a bit more complex than Vector Art but the final result is warmer and looks more like painting.
If you want to see more dog portraits just visit me at DigitalDogPortraits.com :)
Have a great day!

Digital Art - Retro Style Poodle
Hi there!
Lately I've been busy building a new site.
I've decided to combine two passions of mine, digital art and dog portraits. In this site DigitalDogPortraits.com (still under construction), I will create customized portraits of dogs/pets. Dogs' owners will be able to send me their pets' photos and I will create a digital portrait of their beloved pet and will print it for them on canvas.
The styles of the portraits will be Vector Art, Line Art and the famous Pop Art Warhol style.
I'm really excited and can't wait to finish the preparations and start working!
Take a look at a sample retro style Poodle's portrait that I've made recently and will be featured on the site :)
Well... that's it for today! Got to work on my site :)
See you soon!

Another Award Winning Design - Retro Flower Pattern
Hi there!
Yesterday, while I was showing my work during a business meeting, I received an email : "Your product won today's best awards" it was the second time in two months! You can imagine my surprise and happiness.
It was another of my vintage style patterns. I love to create them, to feel and to think about the nostalgic atmosphere that I want to evoke.
Take a look at the pattern :
My idea was to give a nostalgic and a sweet warm touch to the living room, and I was very happy with the result.

Immediately I imagined this pattern as home decor, using throw pillows for example.
and the result was this :

Naive Horse Ride
Hi there!
Have you ever heard about naive art?
Naive art is often characterized by childlike lines - simple, easy on the eyes and dream like appearance.
In the past, the artists who have created this kind of art, had no art degree nor training. The images has no perspective, light/shadow or subtle hues and colors. The "real" artists, museums and galleries had no respect for those paintings, no artistic value at all.
In the 20th century, this technique eventually has gained the proper recognition, and today we have academies for naive art.
I find this art quite interesting, because it doesn't follow the rules that were defined by the classic painters, especially regarding perspective.
Other characteristics :
1. Simple story or subjects
2. Idealization of reality
3. Saturated colors
4. Texture, expressions, proportions and anatomical correctness - almost completely ignored.
If you want to see some examples of this art check out one of the online galleries, such as Gina.
I wanted to created some naive art of my own for a long time, something dreamy, simple and unreal.
This photo that I took has given me an inspiration

Live Statue Festival Sessions - Candid Shots
Hello again!
Last post we've been looking at some pictures that were taken during a statue festival. Even though most of the post was about lens comparison, the selected photos represented the festival's atmosphere (joy, drama, color). This time I want to show you 3 candid shots that I took during the festival. Those shots are somewhat the opposite of the whole event's atmosphere.
3 images of 3 women each one in a different life stage, pay attention to their eyes, their look.
As I was heading home, I saw the accessory stands. The pottery seller looked a little bit shy and gloomy. Her body language and energy were very delicate. I could sense that she felt a little bit out of her comfort zone.
The ballet dancer was actually part of the festival, a live statue. This one, just like the other two shots felt like a candid. Her look, is very penetrating, serious, stiff body language. This portrait is very appealing, I just can't get enough of it.
Last but not least, a bonus candid! Take a look at this :
An encounter between different generations. I just love this one, a lovely family moment in the middle of the crowded festive street.
The pictures that I've posted here, were a real treat for me. Everyone can take the common festival shots, the statues, the shows, but to my opinion they are less interesting. After I covered the regular festival shots in the first day, I visited the festival again - this time for the candid shots, and the action behind the scenes. It was far more enjoyable, and surely more unique. It is a real pleasure to find magical moments in the less expected places...
Hope you enjoyed today's post :)
See you soon!

| The Old Lady |
This lady was standing in the middle of the commotion. Her sad eyes and her posture caught my attention. The whole crowd was moving around her, talking, shouting, laughing. She stood still, just watching. It was quite difficult to capture her alone, without the movement around.

| The Pottery Seller |
As I was heading home, I saw the accessory stands. The pottery seller looked a little bit shy and gloomy. Her body language and energy were very delicate. I could sense that she felt a little bit out of her comfort zone.
