RELATIONSHIPS

Originally it was drawn on square canvas, which I gave for my friend as a present. But I scanned it before and recently change it a bit, added some space. One day I just felt like looking throw my older artworks, analyzing what I was thinking then, what motives I used, and I felt very interested with idea to "work again with the creatures I once invented", so to say. I was always trying "not to repeat myself", but now I'm developing different approach, more like "positive attitude towards learning from younger yourself", I'm talking about spontaneous and wild ideas in visual expression, accidentally made solutions and sometimes even primitive lines. This practice really helps me in the days when I get stuck with drawing because of overthinking the composition, searching for the best visual solution and being unable to continue drawing since I haven't find THE BEST way to do it and so on. Sometimes it is hard to relax and just enjoy drawing when you "think too much". So it's good to remind yourself what is the main point of drawing at all in the first place. And for me it has to be pleasure and satisfaction. And in a war with my rational thoughts I need to keep reminding myself that. 

BERLIN

Here's I poster I did for my upcoming exhibition in Berlin,

Drawings burst into tattoos!

Cristiano Ferreira (Portland, OR, United States) aka Vinc†ure (https://soundcloud.com/vincture) is getting sleeve with my tattoo design! Can't wait to see it finished. We met at Satta Outside Festival'13, drank warm vodka in the morning at the hotel we all stayed at with other musicians from Sha: TRI :Ah's stage, survived the storm during the festival and also he never complained about that food poisoning he got after trying some local food. 

Great man!

DREAMS (comics series)

Dreams - comics series by Shaltmira. Based on true stories (considering how TRUE the dreams can be).
Will be continued. 

Bodyart project: La Calavera Catrina ('The Elegant Skull')

Model : La Calavera Catrina
Photograph : Mantas Puida
Body-art : Shaltmira

I'm interested in body-art for a while. There are several reasons. I still have a wish to became a tattoo artist someday and drawing on body gives a chance to get closer to that, even knowing these don't last long, even if I draw with permanent markers (it might be unhealthy, some says, but it's really handy to do precise lines, so if people don't mind - I use them). On the other hand, it's interesting how human skin is both similar and different at the same moment from canvas or paper. It has this volume that let's you play with composition, since body-parts can spin and move, so there are unlimited amount of design variations available. And also, while working the connection between me and a model is built, it needs to have confidence in between, specially while drawing on naked body. It's kind of intimate process. What else I could say is that, it feels really flattering to see my art on other person's body, I think body-art also gives a great opportunity for other person to pay more attention/to feel art more deeply, since a person always are prone to look closely what she/he has on herself/himself. So it's like win-win. On the other hand, some friend of mine said, he wishes me to do more body-art on myself instead of having more real tattoos, because 'you can change it whenever you want. never stop changing'. this might sound cheeky a bit, but still nicely said.
