"Mosaic portrait of Yvette Jarvis for the Greek newspaper Weekend Xpress.
...
.
Yvette is a teacher, a politician, a philanthropist, a social worker as well as a great ex basketball player, a fashion model and so much more. She can inspire people in a unique way and I am really happy that Gelly Aroni from Weekend Xpress asked me to create this portrait for her.
This illustration is copyrighted as I am using many copyrighted photos of other artists. I don't think there would be any problem if you want to use it in a personal project, but please avoid any commercial use and credit me, Yvette and the photographer of the original photo.
Please, don't use it to express hate, racism or anything negative.
Based on this wonderful portrait by Guglielmo de'Micheli for People magazine.

This is the first image that I viewed at the largest size - this gallery is the direct result of that act.

"iPublishing, iReading, iEnjoying
Illustration for an article in RAM magazine about the future of publishing and media in the new era of iPad, iPhone and the other new smart devices.
There is a lot of detail in this illustration. Take a look at the original (very large) version. Attention. Huge file (8078 x 7001 pixels)"
dajavous says:
This is one of my favourite images - I have just realised that it also reminds me of Klimt - er ... I guess the clue I overlooked was in the title. I must follow up Lewis F. Day.

As I said I don't do football or sport - but I do love colour and movement, fauvism and futurism - and this oozes optimism, joy and excitement.

dajavous says:
I'm a romantic - what can I say - and this has the delicacy of an embroidery chart. Be sure to drill down to see the largest image. (Also look at the portrait of a horse done in a similar technique.)

"Romantica

"Romantica (2): [Old Fashioned People]
Design experiment listening to some really sad tunes...
Old-fashioned lovers, they walk in the park,
Beside the river hand in hand,
And hurry home for tea before it gets dark,
Could be you and me one day,
Time will come when we will say,
Carry me back again, show me that life again,
Carry me back to the places that I knew,
Carry me back again, show me that life again,
Carry me back to the places that I knew;
Carry me back again, show me that life again,
Carry me back to the places that I knew...
(from a Chris De Burgh's song)"
Studies for an upcoming project. Inspired by the art of the Romantic era and pattern studies of Lewis F. Day. Based on a photo by HA! Designs - Artbyheather / Heather.

"Michael Phelps: No words. Just water...
This is just an experimental "water" portrait of Michael Phelps.
Original size here: here (2690 x 3281 pixels)
Congatulations, Michael. You ruled the waters!
Thanks for the phrase "You can do whatever you've dreamed of."
dajavous says:
This makes a stunning thumbnail for the gallery.
Charis says:
"War Eye
I had to illustrate the term "War" for a project.
So I choose an old technique I developed in StudioArtist.
I have combined the flags with an eye, looking terrified.
I think that this could be a symbol of war.
What do you think?"
dajavous says:
A perfect sequel to War Eye.
The image has me singing a song called "Flight" from an old album by the Stawbs ("From the Witchwood"). It also reminds me of one of my favourite Beatles songs "Blackbird".
"...
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise..."
Charis says:
"Songbird (Music flies)
MUSIC flies! Oh yes!
This is a experimental study for a new illustration technique: Producing images from musical score.
What I am always finding interesting is the combination of letterforms and signs in my graphic design and illustration.

"Michael Phelps portrait for The Los Angeles Times
Last Thursday I received a mail from Derek Simmons, Deputy Design Director of Los Angeles Times. Derek proposed to me an exciting as well as very honoring job. He wanted me to produce a portrait of the incredible Michael Phelps for the Monday's Edition of The Times.
Let's hope he is going to make it, wrote to me.
The whole last week, Derek and I exchanged rough sketches, photos, ideas while Michael was beating one record after the other. We had so little time, as Michael was racing almost every day and we had to keep the portrait updated.
Finally, he did it in the already known incredible way.
So, this is our tribute to him and his incredible record. It's published in today's (Aug 18th, 2008) edition of the Los Angeles Times.
Credit must go to Derek Simmons and to all the photographers of these great Michael Phelps photos.
You can see a very large version of the image here.
Be awared! It's a very large file (4993 x 6528 pixels).
The original portrait is even bigger (6656 x 8704 pixels) but it couldn't be uploaded to Flickr.
Please, don't use it in any commercial project without permission.
For once again: Thanks Derek and of course "Congrats Michael!!!"."
dajavous says:
I love this joyous image. It reminds me of the film "singing in the rain" and the colours really fizz!
