HELLO!
If You come by my blog from time to time, then surreal graphics based on a photos of trees are nothing new to You. I sometimes like to take photos of the trees. I find them oddly inspiring.
In today's post I'd like to show You another work created thanks to a photo of trees.
| In February 2023 I took this photo in the nearby forest. |
So, I cropped a fragment from an above photo, and dived into experimenting.
HELLO!
So, as usual in the beginning of the new year I will briefly summarise what happened on the a-r-tistic blog in previous year. I'll try to bring up threads concerning changes on the blog, and also potential things I would like to do in 2025.
SO, LET'S BEGIN!
| Summary 2024, graphic. This graphic presents parts of works I've created in 2024. |
HELLO!
So, it's time for the 20th comic strip from the series "the Four Seasons in Four Frames", which is also known as 4 in 4. There are 2 protagonists of this short story - Summer and Autumn.
PLOT:
Under the maple tree Summer and Autumn met in order to perform a certain ritual.
As always the translation of bubbles is below the comic strip.
ENJOY!
FIRST FRAME
Autumn: ... So, there is just us - Spring is sleeping, Winter's exhausted because of the heat.
Summer: In sum, I'm not surprised about it.
HELLO!
Today I would like to show another piece of series the Poetic Graphics.
This time I've translated a poem created in the end of July 2022. Notatki nieokiełznane - that's the original title of poem, concerns reflection on the old notes, full of knowledge, and various doodles.
Below you can see translated poem in the form of a colourful graphic.
| the Poetic Graphics: The wild notes, graphic. |
HELLO!
In the end of July 2021 I wrote a poem which developed from my casual reflections about kanashibari (jap. 金縛り, this is the japanese term for sleep paralysis), and all those stressful situations in which we are unable to say anything.
The original poem you can read HERE.
Below there is blockage as a part of the Poetic Graphics.

HELLO!
One day I thought that it would be splendid to draw a dragon which doesn't look sillily. This desire was inspired by manga One Piece, and a sculpture of chinese dragon I saw in one of the polish museums.
So, my aim became a dragon.

HELLO!
Few days ago I was baking a mazurek (traditional cake for Easter), and I simply looked through the window. Once again I was strongly impressed by colours of the sunset. This time it was splendid combination of violet and yellow hidden behind the trees on the horizon.
Those colours and trees inspired me to transfer my impressions on a cardboard with oil pastels.
Here's result of my work.

My Dear Followers,
here comes the Easter,
and I wish You All the Best!
🐰
HAPPY EASTER!
HELLO!
Do you remember a lady in the cloud of smoke?
Once again, I draw a lady wearing kimono who is holding a kiseru.
However she is different.
Besides obvious differences you could also notice usage of a frottage.

HELLO!
It's nice to take an autumnal walk from time to time. There's a possibility to notice beauty in the unexpected places. It's great to have a camera in a bag just in case.
| I've took this photo in September 2021. |
Hello!
In today's post I'd like to show another part of the cycle "the Poetic Graphics". This time I worked at translating my poem concerning dreams and their tendency to set into peculiar structures.
THERE you'll be able to read its original version.
| the Poetic Graphics: Dream Reality, graphic. |
Hello!
In today's post comes another part of cycle the Poetic Graphics. Below you will find an english version of poem concerning an idea which... Disappeared very quickly...
Annoyingly enough. 😒
THERE you will find original poem.
| the Poetic Graphics: Once upon a time there was an idea, graphic. |
As for a background I wanted to use a blue colour and create an effect of gradual fading.
| fading, graphic. |
That's all.
Have a Nice Day!
Moreover,
I wish You a Happy Easter!

Hello!
Yesterday I was searching for an inspiration for backgrounds for the future "the Poetic Graphics". Among all of those old photographies I've found the one from over four years which you could contemplate below.
| I've made this photo in November 2016 during a walk. |
Those trees and their branches looked marvellous. Thanks to them a photography resembles a painting with craquelures.
It looks so fascinating that I started experimenting with photo in graphic software. To be honest I was a bit surprised by the final effect.
HELLO!
It's time for the second summary on this blog. During writing the first one I thought I should take a fresh look on certain matters and remind myself of them. It emerged that it was necessary to understand this year was full of experimenting and searching.
So, let's start!
Hello!
In today's entry you'll find another part of a cycle the Poetic Graphics. This poem (which original version is available THERE) was an impression of a certain event I've witnessed on a graveyard last year. I called this to mind only thanks to my notes.

Hello!
In today's post you'll see a spontaneous drawing. From time to time I like to make some doodles because it's relaxing. To be honest I do not know if I've got a notebook which wasn't ornamented with drawings of various ladies, animals (mainly cats), flowers, ornaments, etc. Some of them happened to inspire me to create something bigger (as examples I can point at a pastel the Expectation of Shooting stars or drawing Wisp of Galadriel's hair). Yup, before them were little sketches made on margins or notebooks' covers ❤
And yesterday I was trying to relax after baking gingerbread cookies. And during my efforts I took a paper, violet crayon and started drawing this lady.

Hello!
I was always interested in theories concerning temperaments... I haven't probably mentioned it but this interest influenced my way of portraying personifications of the Four Seasons. I couldn't help but assign each of them to respective humours like sanguine, choleric, phlegmatic and melancholic. Today I would like to focus on the last one of them because showing a view on Melancholy belonged to one of my aims.
So let's start with the earliest sketches with the ideas for Melancholy's portrayal.
I chose to show the allegory of Melancholy as a tired, worried and thoughtful woman. Next I draw her on paper. Firstly I wanted to use a black pen for outlines but I've changed my mind.
Hello!
Today's post will involve another part of a cycle the Poetic Graphics with a poem from two years ago. Its main theme concerned an apathy and lack of motivation (original version is available THERE).
| the Poetic Graphics: the Apathy, graphic. |
Hello!
Today I want to show you another graphic from the cycle "the Poetic Graphics". A graphic with a poem I've written between the March and the April (original version is THERE). It happened because of my quite casual thoughts about the wind and breath.
| the Poetic Graphics: the wind hidden in the breath, graphic. |
Hello!
In the beginning of this year I created an account on Pinterest (it took some time to encourage myself to do this). There I left some of my works plus something I haven't published on my a-r-tistic blog yet. And I mean a short cycle consisted of five graphics (so far) with english versions of my poems.
Today I'm gonna show you one of them.
