Here is a heavily stylized piece, made entirely in photoshop. It was mainly inspired by the work of Alphonse Mucha. Much attention was paid to the quality of the line, which was meant to be as firm and smooth as possible. It was the same feeling that drew me to use mostly clear colors (with the exception of the sky) without the one messing with the other.
This is Hermes, or Mercury for the Romans, the herald of Gods, delivering a message to you. Ι always found fascinating the way ancient Greek heroes, gods, symbols, survive till today in various aspects of everyday life in the western world, Apollo theaters, Hercules gyms etc.
It's been ages since I've worked on this theme, but since I never stopped loving it, I thought that I could share it with you.
The idea behind it was to create a crest. In this case I've tried to incorporate elements relevant to the work of Douglas Sirk, such as the title of one of his last films, as well as the deer, a symbol that appears before the end of "All that heaven allows". Also it was an early Bond film, where the hero searches for his family tree, and he locates a crest of his ancestors with, among the others, the phrase " The world is not enough", which was to become the title of another Bond film. So I had also in mind the idea, of a crest with a film title in it. Finally I remember, that I always loved the label work on the bottle of Jagermeister, which depicts a deer head.
So this is my chance to present a label-crest with a deer in the center of it.

H πρώτη ανάρτηση για το νέο έτος είναι συνέχεια της θεματικής που ξεκίνησα στην πρόσφατη δουλειά με τίτλο Queen. Mπορείτε να φανταστείτε ότι θα υπάρξει και μία τρίτη για να ολοκληρωθεί ένα τρίπτυχο πάνω σ'αυτό το θέμα. Αν έχετε να προτείνετε κάποια μεγαλειότητα της οποίας ο ταραγμένος βίος σας συγκινεί, παρακαλώ μοιραστείτε το μαζί μου, ίσως να είναι αυτή η τρίτη αυτού εξωχότης τούτης της συλλογής.
Και να η τελευταία ανάρτηση για το 2011. Η βασίλισσα Ελισάβετ με την επιβλητική μορφή της C. Blanchett και το βλέμμα προσηλωμένο στο σωτήριο 2012 που καταυθάνει. Ευτυχισμένο και "πλεονασματικό" το νέο έτος για όλους.
