60-70% reality and 40-30% of fiction is a VisDev formula that works well in creating fictional worlds. I am a believer that an artist should draw from within themselves. I live in the city at the Mediterranean, so it would be obvious to paint sun and clear skies. But as a local I know how common is fog. Now, a part of me longs for the Megapolis infrastructure having been formed in large European capital. So from what I have and what I lack and from what I see in real life and my interests I combined a picture of what could exist in another universe. by @gobriy

In presence of a foreign enemy people’s ability to stand for a cause is limited. 

In peacetime the balance between the government and people’s will is easier to maintain. However in a state of war to manage a threat from outside demands quick decisions and states can lean authoritarian to achieve that. 

The Ukrainians are struggling under double pressure. Yet they manage to defend the country from r***ian invasion and from internal threats and I am immensely proud of them. 

A carton has become yet another symbol of will, resistance and a very Ukrainian thing. by @gobriy

Authors portrait: Kazuo Ishiguro and his characters. One thing then strikes when reading his works is that the characters they seem to observe their lives from a distance. If authors works show their perspective, then wouldn’t he too be observing them from afar before leaving  them to fare in the worlds of his making? by @gobriy

My interpretation of a cover for Kazuo Ishiguro’s “Never Let Me Go”. 

⚠️ Spoilers 

Kazuo Ishiguro has said that Never Let Me Go stays with readers because its characters never rebel - though they could, but it never occurs to them. 

I thought his characters were like trees in a way - though not stuck in the soil, but never moving, regardless. 

I translated that idea by making the figures the same visual size as the trees and flowers and giving them equal space on the canvas. 

The best book covers aren’t understood at first glance—they reveal themselves as you read. I would hope that the reader could feel the cover more and more as the story unfolds. 

Whether you’re building a brand or growing as an artist, my Art That Speaks highlight shares the principles I use to create illustrations that stay with people. by @gobriy

Connecting unconnectable that often comes with a headache.

This is spot iilos for an article about creative entrepreneurs - yes, that’s everyone involved, from project manager, to AD to motion designer to freelancer connecting all dots in how something intangible yet extremely valuable gets produced and monetized. Special shoutout to everyone who’s struggling with Instagram reach - you get twice the headache but we will pull through 😂 by @gobriy

Funny how talking about profit feels embarrassing, but spending another year broke somehow doesn’t.

The market loves talented people who are uncomfortable with money. They’re usually the easiest people to underpay.
