Drawings
 
I deal a lot with images and image variants, especially in the lab, but I also enjoy simple drawing, just for fun. My friends suggested me to put some of them on the web, so here they are. I am using graphite on paper and a lot of digital tools on pixels.

Also, I made a quick review of drawing tools that I find  very useful (in Romanian).

The Dogmatic Egg



Inspired by the poem with the same name, written by Dan Barbilian (mathematician and writer). Color key: the white background represents the Platonic Ideal World, the golden yolk is the potential of the character, and the colorful reflections are from our lively vivid Real World. 


Bored of the Ring

At a certain point I was really disappointed by the plot in the movie "Lord of the Rings" (it sloppily -and sometimes wrongly- follows the book). The end was pretty similar with the Terminator Movies, Aliens, Quake (bad guys are always falling into lava). A surrealistic sequel should be named "The Ring Resurrection" :) and is about the remaking of the artifact for augmenting robotic powers of Terminator (the 4th gen). The new ring will have the appropriate "artificial" shape and will display a popular Yahoo! avatar (with sounds) to scare digital enemies. Here I suggest the poster. Duh!



So in this hybrid movie (a science fiction parody of a fantasy) there will be definitely a great desire for spell books. How can Lord Terminator hope to Terminate everybody else? The catch is of course, that there is a Digital Grimoire, containing digital spells (i.e. computer viruses). Since is digital, it is also virtual, and here it is, in its purest form:



Advanced Histology




Here's a small contest for my friends: Is this a real microscopic slice (hematoxilin-eozin stain) or it's a drawing made entirely with GIMP?
