3D work

I've recently gotten into simple 3D programs, like FrameForge and Poser. I'm using those as a jumping point to more complex programs like Maya that give more freedom. Here are some images I created for the storyboards of a proposed UNKLE video.

Stencils and spray paintings

Stencils and spraying have been demonized by public authorities everywhere, simply because they are the favourite tools of vandals everywhere. However, I see them merely as tools alongside brushes, graphic pens, Photoshop and cameras. Can anyone argue that Bansky is NOT a graphic artist? Nope. The only problem for me is that I can't use them when the weather is bad, as I need to be outside so that fumes don't kill me.

Here are a few examples of my experimenting with stencils and spray cans.

Posters

I do a lot of posters for people, mostly for short films. I personally enjoy it a lot and it's probably one of my favourite things to do on Photoshop. Figuring out the composition, the structure and how the colours and shapes will get the message across in a single glance are the exciting things about graphic art.

Here are some of my posters.

Painting in Photoshop

Just a little experiment to make a Photoshop image that looks like it was hand-painted. I really enjoyed this one.

Pop art

Pop art has been around for donkey's years, even if the definition of "Pop" itself has changed. When I think of pop art, I think of Warhol and Lichenstein (I'm sure I've killed the spelling), neon colours, etc, but that was pop in the 70's. Isn't there time for Pop Art to be redefined for what Pop stands for today, or will it remain a symbol of another era?

Here are a couple of images I created on Photoshop. One of them is of Eliza Cuthbert being Marilyn Monroe-like, the other one of an orchid, both of them Pop Art style.

Logos

I've made some of the graphics in www.thrylos-fans.net, one of the biggest sports portals in Greece. I'm a moderator there and I know the guys who created it, very dedicated, very hardworking people. Here is some of the stuff I made for the portal.

Lapse photography

I decided to try my hand at lapse photography. I used a consumer digital camera, which, with hindsight, was the reason I am not satisfied by the end result. Consumer cameras don't give the user enough control to do anything other than point and click. I suppose that's the point, but there is such a thing as a middle ground. Regardless, not being able to control the shutter speed made the video a bit staccato-like.

The solution to hair loss

One of my favourite things to do in Photoshop is to draw hair. It's hard, long and repetitive, but there's something about drawing every single strand of hair with a certain look in mind.

My model is Bolton Wanderers player Stelios Giannakopoulos.

Tentacles

Here is a project I've been working on for some time. I'm a huge fans of Lovecraft, so I have a
tendency to do tentacles on Photoshop. Lots of them. Here are some minimalistic examples.
