Allons-y!

So (by the way how lame it is that I start almost every post with a “so” and end them with a “well...”? It's like I'm from the twin planet of ChanTho's) I basically did everything the 365 Illustration Project had. It is done. I even did the alldrawingsinonepicture thing, the heymypicturesareusedinchina thing, the only thing I didn't do is to sell some swimsuits with my characters (which I'm willing to do if you wish).

Time has come for a fresh start. Which means, from now on I'm not the 365IP-girl, but the 30DW-whovian. Well, I admit, I'll have to work on that title. Nevertheless!

Now don't feel marginalized, but – unlike 365IP – I'm gonna post this drawing project only on tumblr (and deviantART if you – for some weird reason – prefer that). So if you're interested in it at least a bit, start memorizing this url:

http://entrustedproperty.tumblr.com/

(Now you can't say I made it difficult.) I'm not saying it's the end of my blog on blogger, let's just put it this way: I switch to the another one for a short period and let's see if there's a reason I post here something later.

OK, now I'm working very hard to make “well” my last word, but it's just not happening. Well...

They teach me in China

Yes, it is true. You might remember my BGFF, Susi, who had been teaching English for kids in a fancy language school in China for one year. She loved to try out new and creative teaching methods – some of these they still use – and in that she went so far as to use drawings from blogs that are blocked there and make Chinese kids write new subtitles on them. One day I got these from her...

That's what 365 drawings look like – unpacked

It is about 2,3 m × 1,3 m.

Annd basically we're done. I've drawn and posted all the 365 illustrations. Count it if you don't believe me. You can do it now. It's all posted here. Or maybe just take some time to revisit (or visit the first time) the old ones from the beginning, if you'd like.

 Now I'll take a little pause, about a week, and after that I'm back with my next project. I'm not sure if I'm gonna post them here as well or just on my tumblr, but either way, I'm gonna keep you updated about it.

faithful followers get treat

... and basically everyone who sees this post. So here's the deal.

I'm very thankful to all of you who support me by liking, sharing, commenting on my work, or even just visiting my site regularly. So I decided to make something to my fans for that occasion.

Guess what, I'm famous! :D

Part 7 – Characters for a tale

A half year ago a friend of mine asked me to do some illustrations to a tale her daughter – and my namesake – Lizi is writing. These are the characters I did:

Iza the horse

Similarily to my friend Iza, this mare is rather a cool girl, but also very friendly.

Bolondos Blanka (Blanka the Foolish)

She's inspired by a cuddly toy bunny of young writer Lizi.

Lelemény (Ingenuity), the cat

Inspired by their family cat, Lelemény loves to eat, loves to sleep, and very kind to everyone.

That's it for now. Don't worry, now you seriously don't have to wait much more for “the real stuff”, and that's not a vague promise anymore. I have the final date: this Friday I'm gonna go to the school, SO that means I'm gonna be able to finally scan june drawings. New post hopefully the same day. Whatch out!

Part 6 – Caricatures

It's been 2 months since I promised to post the remaining 365IPs and 2 weeks since my last alibi-post. Fair enough to loose even my most persistent followers. But in case there's still anyone out there to check out this blog sometimes, here goes the next chapter of my “other drawings” series.

This time it's not something I've done for school, these are done for friends and there are some fanart too (except sometimes it's hard to decide which is which). It all started by one request and then – all of a sudden – I found myself doing these sort of drawings on an assembly line.

Here are a few examples:

singer-songwriter, facebook-buddy Tristan Clopet

my DJ and professional percussionist friend Rich Chwastiak

Jon Cozart (oh, come on, if you don't know who he is...) 

 ... annd my cousin (not hard to tell what he's famous for ;) 

If you liked them don't miss my Behance project! I have some more there.

Part 5 –Illustration of type

At school we got the task to illustrate letters. Simple things, like draw a brush that paints a "B", or a lawn mower cutting an "L" from the grass (get it? B-rush; L-awnmower)... Since I thought it's kinda lame, I decided to add a little plus to the task, so I illustrated not only letters, but certain typefaces. (I did the task in Hungarian, so the alliteration thing won't work in English, but whatever, that's not the point.)

 1. Comic Sans + cuki cica (cute kitten)

 2.Shelley Script + eSküvő (wedding)

(As my teacher said: "Don't even think of using this font for wedding invitations, unless you want to boast with the fact that yours is the 230 millionth one today made with this font.")

3. Gill Sans + grotesque

4. All right, that's a tough one. I can't translate it, primarily because I don't know the word for this type of shoe in English (if there is); and secondly because I'm not sure it would mean the same for everyone... Anyway here it is for the Hungarians:

"A Times New Roman a tipográfia makkoscipője" (Gerhes Gábor)

Part 4 – Opposites

A school task again: we had to make illustrations in the theme: “dependent vs. independent”. That's what I came up with:

 love, dependent of reciprocity

love, independent of reciprocity

As for 365IPs, don't worry, you won't have to wait now more than one month... And I already started a new project, so get ready for some new stuff! Until then,

enjoy summer!
