Fantastika is coming to a close, last day today! As a send-off, I muse a little on the beginnings of it all, and the very first photoshop thing. www.artofrostov.com/anime-mage-j...

The print shop is open for one more week! In the meanwhile I have been writing bits and pieces of lore and background context for the various works in FANTASTIKA, up on the website. What's up with the Winged Hussars? Read: www.artofrostov.com/fantastika-w...

It was Christmas morning and I drew this and then I had to rush to family

Diligence in proof of face, proof of hand (barely;) compositional structure and colour harmonies. The rest can be whatever.

Come! Take a walk through the doomed commercial area, the birthing house of Disco Elysium, where we toiled as its midwives and doulas for five or so years. youtu.be/yrVWe_ZCAko

A little over a year ago Danny O'Dwyer @noclipvideo.bsky.social visited Tallinn and we spoke a little about the making of Disco Elysium. He's put together a kind of time machine (in five parts) to let you visit that time and place. youtu.be/eH6mUTHZ5C4

A composition. Suprematist gymnastics with saber. The circle is both the swing of the arm, spotlight and maybe like the moon or something.

Selection of drawings from the Drink & Draw marathon life drawing session. I'm happy to see the long rest hasn't completely eroded the ability to draw, but it also takes a long time to fire up the machine that makes art again. By the 6th hour some kind of confidence was back in the wrist again.

And the opposite of calm and collected, texture via agitation. Still spring minimalism.

More spring minimalism. Untextured, more or less clean shapes. Calm and collected.

It's spring! The beast lumbers, the mind moves, art demands doing but instead I write frivolities. I have made a substack. It will contain simple thoughts, texts on art, and pictures. It begins with a tutorial of sorts rostovjanka.substack.com/p/how-to-age...

I continue work on the foundational brush set. On the image is the brush tip, demo stroke and 2 figure studies with the brush. The shape gives good calligraphy and expressive range. Clean round end blocks in volume and value, the sharp fuzzy end gives fine precision, texture and edge control.
