Exhibition > Blogoscars 2012 - "Drive"!

Two days ago, I took part in a mini exhibition that was held during the blogoscars 2012 party, at bios, Athens. The winning movie for this year's blogoscars was "Drive" so 5 comic artists/illustrators (including me) were asked to draw an illustration inspired by the movie.

I have to mention that the detail on the jacket I drew is S-I-C-K!!! 
You can buy my sketch for 400 euro (black ink on a A3 paper, 220gsm).
Send me an email at info(at)onemanshowstudio(dot)com for inquiries.

The photos from the exhibition were taken by Ilias Kyriazis.

{Blogovision Intermission} Press > Status magazine, Comics Alliance & Lifo!

I was selected among the 40 most creative people in Greece, for the latest issue (December 2011) of Status magazine, for my works as comic artist/illustrator/graphic designer and for my choices as a publisher.

It's nice being among friends (such as Pan Pan) and people that I truly admire their work (such as: Designers United, Beetroot, HOPE, Stelios Faitakis, Kostas Voyatzis, Greece is for Lovers e.t.c.).

Also, my Spider Jerusalem's tattoos piece, was selected from Comics Alliance (a massive comics related website) for their previous week "Best Art Ever" section.

Last but not least, my sketchbook for the upcoming exhibition in Tel Aviv, got some exposure in Lifo's site culture section. Great times!

Exhibition > Participation in The International Plain Notebook Project, Tel Aviv, Israel!

In December, I'm taking part in "The International Plain Notebook Project" exhibition, in Tel Aviv, Israel. The project is curated by Dr. Guy Morag and you can find more info about the project, in his personal site.

Above you can see the cover/back-cover spread that I drew in my notebook and below some sketches from the inside (and some details, too).

Soon, I'll upload and some photos with the process of the cover/back-cover drawing.

Exhibitions > Taking part in SEEAR Playground that starts today!

Some months ago, I was asked by Stavros Kypraios, to take part in SEEAR project! Of course I said "yes" because I love the idea of the project (SEE + HEAR = SEEAR... visit the official website for more info). This year's theme is "playground".

SEEAR PLAYGROUND's opening party is today, Friday 11.11.2011. It will last until Sunday 13.11 and has FREE entrance.

I had a great time working on my piece and I think that it's my most ambitious illustration, so far (the fake-3D-effect was done in photoshop). Below you can see a small detail of the 70x100cm piece:

Hope to see you there. It would be a pleasure!

Seear Playground is now finished. You may check my artwork for the exhibition here!

Below is a picture I took with Instagram app:

Exhibitions > Participation in the Doodles exhibition, of Art For More event!

Tomorrow (Friday, 07/10/2011) and up until Sunday, I'm taking part in the Doodles exhibition of the ART FOR MORE event (@ the HUB, Alkminis 5, Gazi, see the fb event here). Below, you can also see the program of the event (text in Greek, click on the images for full view):

I'm participating in the exhibition with a large-scale piece (almost 4 square meters) made out of 300+ doodles on various papers that I drew over the last 10 years.

Here are some photos of the preparation of the piece (took me 2,5 hours to complete the synthesis, with some help from Maritina, Dora & Nikos):

 

 And here is a detail of the final piece and also a photo of me in front of it, by Mr. Haris Hararis of Radial:

See you there!!!

EDIT >>>
The piece I did for the event, was featured in Computer Arts blog's post "07 October". That's nice!!!

Exhibitions > Participation in the event Warren Ellis: Captured Ghosts

Today, I'm taking part in the event "Warren Ellis: Captured Ghost" at bios. There will be a screening of the same-titled documentary, some live shows and of course art! I made a big vector-made vinyl sticker for the event (a behind-the-scenes photo is on my instagram). The facebook event is here! I guess, I'll see you around.

Oh, and also: I'm back! :)

Exhibition > Tonight, taking part at "Explorers" exhibition, at Terra Petra!

Tonight, it's the opening of our exhibition "Explorers" that takes place at Terra Petra multi-space (near "Petras Theater", Petroupoli, tel: 210.50.60.695). The exhibition is part of the project "Terra Nueva" by Viral Projects (thanks a lot for the invitation guys).

I am taking part in the exhibition, as a member of "Medium:Rare" team (among friends) and my participation is a collaboration with Panayiota Theofilatou. We made a 4-piece artwork (acrylics on canvases) about Dimitrios Vakondios, the greek "explorer" (inventor-by-accident) of Nescafe Frappe!!!

I'll see you all there!

Below, you can see some photos from the pre-production >>>

Photos > 1st day @ TOTEM Character Synthesis > Athens Digital Week!

Had a great time @ the opening of Totem exhibition in which I'm participating. I'm gonna visit the exhibition also today, and I will do some live digital sketching in the big white walls (probably near 22:30).  Tomorrow is the LAST day of the exhibition (and of the whole festival).

Visit the official site of TOTEM in order to see what you are missing! :D

Here are some photos from the 1st day:

These 2 characters are my participation at the Toem exhibition. It's a shame that I didn't have the time to make some more!

In front of my characters, looking what's inside my goodies-bag that the kind people of Nomass (the organizers of the event) gave me! (check 1st picture of this post in order to see what was inside) :D

Some of my friends are participating, too. Middle artwork by Yiorgos Yiacos and right artwork by Flim.

Some more friends, too, such as Meni Tzima on the right.

There's also a table in the exhibition, in which you can practice your making-characters-with-plaster skills. Fun times!

Here are some characters that were made from plaster on the 1st day...

...and these are the characters that were made by my girlfriend (the blue one) and me (the penguin!?).
