Mushrooms

There is a legend that under my home city of Narva (Estonia) exist a labyrinth of undeground passages, where poisonous mushrooms Fungus Galoperidolus grow. During the second World War nazi build there special mushroom's gun - Piltze Canone - to fight Soviets. Since then government kept all information secret.

Indian Mirror

This lovely piece of artwork (I like it personally:)) was commissioned  by the "Indian Mirror" magazine. However we did not come to conclusion with editor regarding the background and some other symbolic stuff. So final illustration may look a bit different on paper. Anyway the creating process by itself was quite enjoyable with great help of psychedelic trance.

Symborobo-1

In this illustration, I want to show the influence of the mass propaganda industry on the modern human’s consciousness. Robot here is a product of the assembly. The product is managed by someone from outside. And at the same time, the illusion of freedom is similar to the effect of LSD - a bright, sudden, but deceptive. Mass culture engenders a special kind of tantric yoga, where robots are unconsciously create and manage the mechanisms of their lives.

Too busy

Well, I was too busy with my research paper over last couple months, so to my regrets, could not find time for drawing, blogging, and stuff like that. But in few days I gona explode with creativity!!!

My friends

One more piece of crazy art. Sometimes universal imbalance may occur in different forms and appearances. This is not the case. Look at these creatures. They have their own lives, families and habits;

Transformations

 I got short and quite interesting graphic novel in my mind now. This is an example of transformation of my final year project about Little Shaman's adventures. Idea is actually same, but visual stuff and technique are different. This way I like it most. 

 It going to be in kind of tibetan language (it looks cool isn't?). However I don't know any tibetan - the main point going to be in images themselves.

Surprise

The truly sacred thing is nature. The Little Shaman knew this, he could perceive the mystery of the world all the time. "Normal people, - Shaman used to say, - normal people do not see it. The do not see miracles right in front of their noses. They do not see creatures of the spirit world since they are not so familiar with visions and consciousness. But we encounter these creatures in our travels through the three worlds. We have no fear of them. For us, they are friends".
