One of my coworkers,
Vladimir Sokolov is a Russian immigrant. He`s a well educated intelligent man
with a, I would say particular sense of humor (Russian sense of humor perhaps).
He also likes my weird drawings. He recently asked me to draw his portrait,
with my satirical \ abstract style. He was willing to pay me as well. I
accepted his offer right away. I told him I needed a picture. So here`s what he
looks like:
On the second one, I
decided to exaggerate his facial features. This one looks like a caricature or
a weird psychedelic cartoon.
Then I started working
on the real thing. It took me three weeks to do. I was drawing at work (during
my morning and afternoon breaks) and also on two Sunday afternoons I spent at
the public library. I like the calm, quiet and peaceful atmosphere (which is
highly inspiring indeed). To add variety, I used different drawing materials:
pencils, black ink, color markers, charcoal and felt pens. And finally, the end
result …
Pretty impressive, eh?
I`m really proud of my work. My colleague, mister Sokolov his also very happy.
This is the first time I sell an original. I just hope to sell more art in the
future. Who knows?
