I miss you

Etsy Shop Open :)

Churchill has a lot of thing in common with his French cousin, Monsieur Jambon (like the love of croissants and macaroons), but Monsieur Jambon also has a great appetite for business, therefore I decided to ask his help in opening my first etsy shop! 

The first products I am selling are a series of professionally printed greeting cards , and another series of original artwork greeting cards.  I am currently working on new products, so please stop by from time to time :) Thank you!

Bernard knows he's handsome

Free shipping :)

Hello! Did you know society6 has FREE shipping thru Sunday, worldwide? So if you fancy getting a polar bear cowboy iPhone skin or a scientist frog laptop skin, now is the time to order it :)

There are even Pigeon T-Shirts and pullovers. Classy, right? 

Making of... Pig 1

One day...

I drew a chair.

Then I drew a bored panda on the chair.

 

 After that I drew the chair. Again. From a different angle. (I know, how exciting, right?)

Then I drew the panda. Again. From a different angle. 

I must have a wild imagination.

The Pig is waiting

Hello. 

There are things you might not be aware of. Perhaps you think such a situation is highly unlikely, but what if it's true? For instance, did you know there is a rumor about a possible new etsy shop where me and the nerd here will sell art…and stuff? 

Well if you don't want to miss out on the latest news about art and… stuff, follow us on our new Facebook fan page. Like Churchill. Soon he will be famous and I'm pretty certain you would like to brag about having met him before he became legendary. 

The Pig is waiting. 

Photography

Important things happened this week. President Obama turned 50 (despite republican opposition, as the trustworthy Onion reports), but there was another national event that took place:  I finally decided to post some photographs on my website. 

These were my first two options. From the series "I see you like to chew".

Then I realized they might not be the most 'professional" pick… Why are goats never good enough for one's portfolio? It's beyond me… Therefore you can check out here my other boring picks.

After being awfully ashamed by my last post, El Bobo decided to go on a diet. He no longer responds to El Croissanto. 

fast food

We all make mistakes, and truth be told, some of them are really tasty.

El Bobo 2. Croque Monsieur

El Bobo likes good food. But if the food is good and portable, it's even better. 

El Bobo

Bobo is a happy fellow with a great passion for the food industry. In real life he is actually skinny (and, as a matter of fact, human). But you know how Facebook never lies about your friends and google never lies about your health… well, my sketchbook doesn't lie either: this is how El Bobo* should look like. 

*also known as El Croissanto.

gazelle afternoons

monkeys and me

I made this in printmaking class in college, and it wasn't a success at all. Now I quite like it.
Or perhaps I'm being nostalgic. 

La multi ani!

Today, June 1st, it's children's day in Romania! We're celebrating in style...

How to draw baby goats

1. Go to a farm

You have to find some real goats. Fur and everything.

Do not wear your favorite purse. It will be chewed. 

Be prepared to socialize. Kids can be very playful, but unless you are a rockstar or a politician, crowds can be intimidating. (100 baby goats at the farm in the pictures!)

2. Draw realistically

Remember when you believed you are going to be a graphic designer and you didn't predict any goat encounters in your future? Forget that nonsense. Every artists needs to draw a goat in their lifetime. That's how you build a success story.

3. Develop a whimsical character

Now that you have become a goat connoisseur, it is time to develop a character for a potential story. 

Quite the most difficult part of the process. Unless you have already spent hours in the cold (+rain) drawing realistically. Or you got attacked by a bear while drawing. Or you saw Anthony Browne and had no idea he is famous.

Right… drawing whimsically. Frankly, I have no idea how you do that. I am trying to make sense of it  myself, with each drawing. So you'll have to figure it out yourself.  It's just you and the goat now. 

a bit very happy

thank you! : )

Happy Friday!

Panda 1. Panda 2

For a new project I've been trying to make my two different characters actually look different. Even though they are pandas. And as we know, pandas tend to look identical. Tom was right. It is hard to make characters different based on their own features, not their outfits or accessories.
