The Quack of Dawn, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. A green Stojadin car with ducks riding on it and a sleepy cat on the bonnet is left deserted by an overgrown electricity pole in a field of red poppies. It's sitting surrounded by undulating clouds, waves and almost abstract organic shapes in a wide-angle look.

Details of the car and the ducks

Details of the electricity pole and some clouds in the background.

Some details of intricate shapes in the clouds.

The Quack of Dawn, personal #art. One of my most surreal ones, as I embrace the urge to swoosh and follow my own silly voice, wherever it may lead. Painted mainly from imagination by me, a human boy.

Let's all be more quirky in our styles and complete ourselves, not compete among ourselves.

Will of the Winds, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. A weird ship is riding the curving horizon over a small village in a surreal, undular and windy sci-fi landscape. Huge clouds form majestic shapes in the background. There's an orange cat with a hat floating in the air.

"A look at the weather: Expect a day of gentle sunshine with temperatures reaching a pleasant 25°C. There is, however, an increase of rogue animals in Smartwind regions. Residents are advised to remain observant."

The Maintenance Run, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. It's a foggy atmospheric orange pinkish brown swamp landscape, and a guy is getting out of his modified Yugo car looking at a house-tower structure. Another of those is seen in the background.

"Old machines were built to last, and oh boy they do. Yet, even these ancient buckets of cables, vents and filters need some love and grease. Love and grease, baby."

The Queen of Flowers, personal painting by Zhillustrator. A farmer brings a bucket of flowers to a gigantic pig and her babies on an atmospheric moody meadow with cupola structures far back. There's a Rakovica tractor parked near and a hovering craft in the background. There are yellow flowers around the meadow, white and grey fluffy clouds, and the colors are warm and pinkish.

"I cared for her since I was a kid. Belka was the only piglet on our damn farm that survived the mutations. She always loved the little flower charms I made to pass the time. Ate a lot of 'em, too, can't lie."

Transmitter Station, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. Utilitarian and brutalist structures are nestled in a mountain pass under snow. There's a TV tower among them, which is a home to someone. There is a little dog walking on a path to the tower, and a snowman by the road.

Throwback to a personal #art piece from way back. I still like the gray palette, though.

Spiraling into Serenity, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. A swirling magical realism landscape with spiraling blue beams and a ship appearing in the background, looking like it's teleporting using some form of spiral energy. A little house is nestled comfortably between spiraling trees, and a few swans are swimming in a nearby pond.

Night on the Highway, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. A moonlit night scene on a bizarrely large highway with thousands of car lights going both directions. There's a hovering cat with a hat next to one of the cars.

The Blue Hour, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. A blue and purple dream-like scene with an overgrown church sitting in a cloudy landscape. Wind turbines can be seen in the distance and there's a chimney pumping rain clouds out. A cat with a hat and a vest is lazily hovering around the scene.

I found an amazing artist called Ina Xi on YouTube, she makes some of the best lessons on YouTube, without any bs, and is a fantastic teacher. If you're learning, it's a big recommendation. Another one is OurLandscape, they have valuable videos on water, initial process and other essentials.

Forget everything you knew, you will never believe what this video is about and it will change your life. :)

The Watercolor side of YouTube is so amazingly click-baity, it's frustrating. So many false thumbnails with bold mindless superlatives, sEcReT HiDDeN TeChNiQueS, gAmEChaNGerS, getting better qUiCk. Calm thou titties, people.

This image sold the most on the last events I tabled at last year. I hope it will get a bit of your attention too. For custom sizes, canvas prints and other materials - talk to me with your human words.

Man, how I love the first guitar solo section from Meshuggah's "I" EP, especially how it just explodes. That insanely fun, quantized, atonal, Escher-esque guitar roller-coaster ride over the amazing 5-over-4 drumming from Haake. I can listen to it over and over. The Meshuggiest.

Inquire via DM for the second one, the Blue Hour, I have some semi-glossy stock to sell cheaper.

Large roll of brown paper tape that has water activated glue on one side.

I really recommend the brown tape that you apply water too so it sticks. I soak the paper, drop it on to the board get my tape and use a sponge to wet it and then stick it down. Only thing to remember is allow for the edges on the size of paper as obviously you have to cut the painting off.

I still haven't tried it. The damage is probably a deal breaker, when I think about it more. It was my first time seeing this so it was interesting. I never tried the gummed tape, I only used regular yellow "paper-tape".

Ha, I'll just learn watercolor...
*AI dataservers using up all the water in the world, causing water wars and furthering current water crises*
FUCK.

It's not just subscription itself, it's the audacity. Imagine shutting down Adobe Animate, while having all that money that can support it indefinitely. That's like 30 years of work for some people, starting with Macromedia Flash before Adobe gobbled it. The point of subs should be keeping it going.

I mean, it's tricky when someone's job is tied to Adobe, in that case learning additional software for yourself might be useful, to transition slowly. That's probably the easiest. My transition was quite slow. it looks like the big wigs of the industry can't wait to replace all workers with ai.

The entire visual art community needs to move the fuck away from Adobe, even by force. Take your losses, certainly not all features are fully available in alternatives, it takes time to adapt, but move the fuck away from these leeches. So many of us have.

Thank you, I am always happiest when it's framed properly, especially these expensive matte prints with gorgeous paper.
