I wanted to make this drawing for quite some time, but never got around to doing it. What I like about the idea is that the drawing can also be viewed/hung upside down. Not only it will still make sense, but it's actually a part of the meaning behind the whole thing.
The pebbles represent the challenges, or problems if you will, that can drag one down or lift one up, depending on the perspective in which they are placed.

Here's how it looks upside down: [link]

- Graphite on paper
- 29 x 29 cm (11" x 11")
- About 25 hours

Thanks for watching, and hope you like it. ]]>

The fetal position represents the birth and how it's being exposed to both good and evil forces. At the same time, the naked man represents the freedom and the power everyone possesses to choose between these forces.

- graphite pencil on paper
- 30 x 42 cm
- about 30 hours
- the rays of light were inspired by smoke photography

Something I've been working on for the past few weeks. I think what I said above pretty much sums up what this drawing is about and what inspired me to make it. Also the fact that I love seagulls, and one of my favorite books, Jonathan Livingstone Seagull have been helpful as well. The storyline of the book made the perfect scene (and sense) for what I tried to depict with this drawing.

- graphite pencils (regular and mechanical) on Canson smooth paper
- some references for the details
- 42 x 30 cm (A3)
- about 25 hours

Thanks for watching. Hope you like it.

this one took me longer than i thought it would. especially designing the minute hand. it incorporates the word Aevum which is Latin for Time.
the whole composition is done from scratch, except the shape of the clock surface which is based on a ref. photo.

1. Due to the many irrelevant comments I'm disabling the comment feature for this work. Sorry folks.
2. Yes, this is the drawing that Shia LaBeouf has tattooed on his ribcage.


This drawing is about being a prisoner of your own actions and choices. It shows how I felt when I was going through a tough period in my life.
