Roderique "Dracorubio" Arisiaman

 

linktr.ee/dracorubio

 

I'm an image creator and storyteller by heart, no matter what the discipline is. My work varies from photography, photo manipulation, illustration, but also have a hand in ceramics, sculpture and painting. I draw inspiration from various sources like books, movies, sculptures, music, mythology, fantasy, history, people, nature and whatever I find on my path..

I used to work in animation and visual effects but found the moving image to complicated to convey my story.

 

My images are always processed to tell a story and to provoke an emotion.

 

workshops and bookings

 

I teach at workshops for groups and individuals. I'm also available to travel to your location for a personal or group workshop.

  

Please do not use my photo's unless you ask for permission.

And when you do get my blessing, please give proper credit!

Well.. this Testimonial is looooong overdue i guess.. :D Imho Rod is one of the best manipulationists/ artists on flickr. his work always looks so real and he for sure has a really powerful mind and imagination. I really love how he puts all those teeny tiny details into his work so that you always discover new stuff when lookin through his stream / pictures. I really admire him for his Talent and stamina to accomplish two 365 projects in a row. wow! Also I owe him big time for introducing me to the beautiful world of sphynx cats. If I hadn't seen his cute photos of Pixel and Willow I think I'd never had the idea of even getting one myself. THANK YOU MR. ARISIAMAN for your awesome work and the love towards the best cats on the world! :)

Roderique is without doubt a very unique and outstanding artist. I have followed his work for about a year and everytime I see his images I find myself in awe with his creations. I have a handfull of contacts on flickr who truly move me and Drac's is definately one of them. His manipulations leave me breathless attention to details is his speciality. Not only is his work amazing but he is too, I have asked more than my fair share of questions and he has always helped me. Not one other contact inpires me more to improve.

what to even say about Roderique? He has the kindest heart and a huge array of skills and talents that are evident in every one of his posts. I feel very lucky to be able to witness your art and to be able to call you a friend, thank you for all that you've given :)

Rod creates worlds that I only get to visit in my dreams. He travels through time, glides through the air, fights cosmic battles while taking a few photographs along the way. The only photo-stream that's made my jaw drop "how on earth did he do that?" Stunning and beautiful work mate, a TRUE artist. x

I first came in contact with Roderique through 365 in 2009. His stream captivated me for the rest of the year. Between pictures of Pixel and Willow, his amazing Siamese cats, and images of himself that transcend reality and what I thought was technically possible, I always looked forward to his next shot. But being a great photographer is just half of the equation here on flickr, there are many great photographers, but few are as outgoing, caring and loyal to his contacts as Roderique. There were times I missed days, maybe even weeks of his stream yet he was always there checking in on my pics and leaving encouraging words in his comments. Thanks Roderique, not only the inspiration you give me, but for being what I would consider a true flickr friend."

I'm often sitting at home at my desk when Drac's stuff comes up. The "latest' work of art. I sit, in awe, usually on the cusp of being really inspired or perplexed on how I might somehow achieve something so amazing. He's an amazing artist, and clearly an imaginative and talented soul. Can't begin to describe how pleased I am to have found his stream. Keep creating, we are inspired every day. r-

An incredible guy both in his photography and spirit. His ability with PS is legendary and superceded only by his increasingly ingenious imagination. Drac is someone I'm truly glad to have met - always happy to help and honestly interested in people, Flickr would be a much sadder place without him!

He calls himself the PS guru, I think he is wrong......HE IS THE GRANDMASTER. The guy is so awesome and I honestly and deeply admire and respect his work. He has also portrayed himself so excatly that I would recognize him anywhere on the planet :)

We both makes totally different pictures, but I still really enjoy looking at Roderique's stream. He does magic things with Photoshop. Besides that Roderique is a friendly and healthy dude (because an "Apple" a day keeps the doctor away!).

He is one Hell of an artist and a sweet and dear friend. So creative and pulled us into the word of flickr, photograpy and photoshop :) Thanks dude.

Roderique is just brilliant :) His pictures have such meaning to them, and i love his cat pictures! As well as being nice to talk to, he is sweet and funny too. He has a brilliant talent, and can run circles around me when it comes to photoshop :P Suzie xx
