Things and things
Things are happening fast, sometimes too fast to my liking and I'm feeling as if my life was a huge wave in the unstable ocean.
I'm happy to be CGSociety member with full features, it really makes everything easier ^_^
Work - the normal job I have to do - is taking most of my time, still I can't rely solely on illustrating so I'm working harder on paintings, commissions, I meet deadlines even if it means sleepless nights and I wonder sometimes where will it end. I hope in some nice place, though. If I hadn't trust in myself I wouldn't start posting online, accepting commissions etc... Even though I'm really easy to loose confidence. But last Sunday I got a Daily Deviation at deviantart.com and that was really nice feeling. I know it's only art site and it's not my first award but this gave me a kick somehow. Small pleasures can change a lot.
Also I got accepted to the SUPREME | Fine Art Exposure that will be released this year by Fantasyana Publishing - yay! My first book of such type! I'm really happy ^_^
I'm constantly seeking for my own style of painting and after short flirt with manga-like style, crisp details and a little plastic look I think it's not mine, it doesn't meet my needs, doesn't let me show what I want to show. Guess more painterly style is the way to go for me. Also the theme is not really answering questions I have so I came back to painting people, to realism. I redesigned gallery on my website and in fact I'm thinking of deleting some of works that don't fit my mood. Of course that means I should probably change gallery every once in a while to fit my current mood but most likely that will not happen. All I can say trouble in private life don't help in art... At some point yes but overall I would really like to have a peaceful life for once...
This is second year going when I'm thinking of my own artbook but I think I need even more time to make it fully designed as I want. And of course what I want to be there are only my best works so I'm working hard.
Hope you enjoy viewing my works :-)

Cheers!
