I hope you will stop by and comment on my progress. Ps: I have been very busy studying impressionism portraiture at the Nevada Museum of Art. Very best wishes to you - all of God's peace to you, all of the blessings of Theotokos upon you and your family, But I am sad because you are not around to sign it! :) ![]() I am ordering a shirt from Buffalo and Co. ![]() But I had to tell you, as an American born person, who loves the country that still sees her as "outsider" that your artwork brought tears to my eyes, and joy to my heart. So I am sorry for taking so much o fyour time. If they saw your work, they would imagine you to be "Native American" like them. Each of these animals is also very much loved by the Native Americans, the Indians, and you have captured their "spirits" in such a way that I doubt any Native American would guess you are from Ukraine. And after seeing your drawings and your art work of them, I am amazed that you captured the "spirit" of each one so well. The animals of the American west (the eagle, the bison, the buffalo the hawk and so many of these others) became symbols of great strength for the American culture. They truly want to do the right thing, even if they are often misled by their politicians. At the same time, they are immensely kind, and very loving people. They will never stand for someone telling them what to do, or how to do it. They are a fierce and defiant people, very rebellious and very independent. But my experience allows me to see my people in a very loving way, and in a very tender way. I was an "outsider" to them, and I still do not "fit in" even after 20 years. When I came to US to live, finally when I was 23, it was very hard for me. My father worked for CIA and I was raised outside the USA in other countries and learned those cultures also which became part of me. I never "felt" like an American, even though my parents were American, and I was born here. I only came to America when I was an adult, and even then, I left very soon after that, and spent several years in Europe and the Caribbean. I was born in the USA but if you have read my blog, you know that I never lived here as a child. Americans take and use more anti-depressant medication than any other country in the world. This makes Americans very depressed about their lives, about their own history, (they are always having to APOLOGIZE for something in their past which they cannot help and cannot change.) They are, as a nation, a very depressed people. They know that every country in the world has people who hate them and want to kill them. They are TIRED of America, tired of their own country, bored with themselves, and sad about where they stand in the world. They have lost much hope in all the terrible politicians of the last 30 years. In America today, where I live, many people have now become very complacent, very "lazy" about their country. Yes, I know you work for hte money but you did something important even if you don't realize it. I really think you captured something very important in that commission. I want to just give you praise and words of encouragement.Īnd I want to say something to your heart that I hope will make you happy. I have been reading your posts and I was very impressed with your work for Buffalo and Co. In the videos I tried to indicate the main milestones of the cross-hatching drawing process which might be interesting for those who want to know more how to draw cross-hatching. In this post I will show you the final illustrations as well as a few videos I created specially to show you the process of drawing wild animals beginning from a pencil sketch to the complicated illustrations which have been made using the cross-hatching drawing technique. They wanted me to draw fish ( a bass and a rainbow trout), birds ( mallards (wild ducks)) and big animals ( a bison and an elk). So they needed cool wildlife drawings to create classy t-shirts with the wild west feel. The company specializes in a kind of a patriotic clothes design for hats, shirts, t-shirts, polo shirts etc. I was hired by Buffalo and Company, Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA to create illustrations for their new American wildlife t-shirt series label. ![]() In today’s blog post I want to write about my last illustrator and artist commission to draw wild animals of North America.
