I really, really like your latest. Great pop art theme.

I was a professional artist for a couple of years in my 20's, but working on stuff that I wasn't interested in eventually just crushed any interest I had in drawing and painting.

I haven't picked up a pencil for 18 years, not seriously, but I'm working with 3D modelling now ( not as a job, just for fun ). It requires some talent and some skills, but it isn't as difficult as what you are doing.

The subjects I liked to draw and paint were military aircraft and motorcycles, my professional work was for a company who produced Dungeons and Dragons style games, something I'm not at all interested in - I just did it for the money.

I don't have anything to show :( my hobby artwork was mostly lost after moving house several times, and the Dungeons and Dragons type stuff I would rather just forget about :)

I think you have a very special talent - you can capture the shape of the cars with a great deal of accuracy, but at the same time place them in a setting that suggests movement, speed and fluidity.

I was OK at making a drawing or painting of an aircraft or motorbike with every bolt and rivet in the correct place, but the result was kind of...boring.
But I didn't have the skill to be a technical illustrator either.

What are you working on now ?

Aircrafts are one of my favorite subjects to, hopefully i will be able to do some in the future. I have a lot of respect for the artist that come up with that kind of fantasy drawings, i was all ways terrible when i had to draw from my imagination...

greetings Miha,

just reviewing your latest efforts. excellent results!
would like to let you know -- i bought a house & have moved
my shop over. one of the joys of the purchase was getting the
Ferrari artwork into the house & finding a nice large wall for its
presentation. don't know if the house was for this piece or
this piece was meant for this house !
don't know if this technical illustration as Sid mentioned is your genius
or not --- but this personal style of "movement" you imbibe
into your portraits gets a lot of compliments from my viewers when they are shown the Ferrari . . . . .
