Thank you!

I love how each scene depicts nightmarish, worst-imagination-come-true or childhood/folklore horror entities, interlaced so grotesquely and artistically together, so much so that 'texture' of fear is clearly conveyed. I'm not sure if that's your intended effect, but that's the impression I get from your work :).

Out of curiosity, may I know what inspired you or what went through your mind, while making these?

EDIT: Sorry, I'd thought the red text below was your signature. Is that what your art signifies?

At first, thank you :)

Well, as an artist i find it wrong to tell people what is my intended effect while drawing those works :) It's against the nature of surreal stuff. If i explain what i was trying to tell with them, it would just condition you. It's better for you to use your immagination ;) BTW; i really like your description about my work ;))

And about that inspiration thing; i can simply say "the current situation of the world". Well, you can see that i'm not very optimist about that :)

BTW, red text is my signature yeah. It's a quote from V for Vendetta

You're welcome. :D

Ah, I understand. So, as an artist, you're going for what makes it real for us, and the thing that makes it as real as possible is our own interpretation/imagination. Makes sense.

Well, I can definitely 'interpret' a lot from your inspiration and how I agree. Humans are but the scariest and most unpredictable.

At any rate, thanks for giving our eyes and minds a feast. :vsign:

Yojimbo 11-25-2010 01:38 PM

Oh, thank you again :)

While i was sharing these old stuff, i've noticed that, i'm not drawing for almost a year. Hmm, i guess i should start drawing again :)

Good drawings!
I'm sure you love Bosch and Goya 's art, yours shows many resemblance with their, with a bit of cartoon 'spice'. :)
I might try to draw in colored paper next, for example black paper with one color-pencil, it'd fit more to your stile and imagination, and also it's less common so more odd- that would fit too.

Thanks for nice suggestions m8 ;) Drawing in colored paper text is a unique idea.

I like Bosch and Goya too btw (especially Bosch) but i can dig their art more for sure.

Personally i admire Giger's art mostly. Awesome combination of post apocalyptic and cyberpunk elements

You just made me remember some of my studies, tnx!

Are you familiar with Goya's Caprichos? You should be, very impressive serie. Also from him: The deaf man's house---very scary (lol). -- It was his house before he died, he decorated all the walls with an epic serie.
Daumier also had a great sense of critic, his caricatures are invincible :) too.

drawings resemble tattoo artist from my town.
it's hard to find his drawings, but here in this link 1st row is with his works - tattoos and Freddy drawing. ou and 2nd row "young joker by sick" is also his work.
so..yea. if i could find the rest then some resemblance could be seen.
have a look

Yojimbo 11-25-2010 02:32 PM

I was planing to draw a comic, called "Mist". But could'nt find time for it back then, and i simply lost my ambition to do it later :)

Here some of the character designs for "Mist" work.

Don't be mean :( ! my 'enthusiasm' wasn't meant to flatter you, but to acknowledge your drawings.
Anyway I don't think I'd be your reader - I can easily have nightmares :) so I don't like reading horror novels, but I think you could find your fans without any difficulties. :P

Ouch! I was just kidding, but you are mean :)

Giger's work's truly awesome!

I did some research, found this:
He built a bar in Tokyo in 1988(The official WebSite of H.R.Giger - Giger Bar in Tokyo), it was his first total environment, unfortunately it fallen into the Yakuza's hands - guess it's dark enough for that :confused:
He said usually a bar in Tokyo rarely survives more than 5 years, so it's predictable.
