Nadia bate câmpii

Nadia și avioanele

Nadia — Wed, 23 May 2012 01:23:28 +0000

N-am mai scris de mult, fiind ocupată cu (în ordinea crescătoare a relevanței pentru ce vrea să facă Nadia în viață și descrescătoare a contribuției la portofelul Nadiei) un job temporar irelevant plătit OK, niște freelancing semi-relevant prost plătit și un filmuleț animat pentru care nu mă plătește nimeni. Și-n plus, nu mă mai aflu [...]

Illustration Friday: Heights

Nadia — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 01:33:07 +0000

I made this drawing after reading a short story by Ray Bradbury called “The Fog Horn”, about a prehistoric sea monster (possibly the last of its kind) who believes he may have found a mate when he hears a call identical to his coming from a lighthouse. I thought it would be funny if the [...]

Ham Parade

(also Illustration Friday: Puzzled) Puzzled was what I was when I went past this bus station the other day on my way to visiting a friend. I instantly imagined this: which made me very happy, because it sounds like it would be a very nice parade to watch and almost made me get off the [...]

Illustration Friday: Vocal

Nadia — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 01:48:25 +0000

A late entry, featuring birds. Again. I’ve been drawing birds a lot lately, I notice. Oh well, Picasso had the Rose Period and the Blue period and I have the bird period.

Adevărul despre dragoni

Nadia — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 01:00:57 +0000

“It is said, for example, that dragons can sometimes have seven heads. That is sheer nonsense. A dragon can have only one head, for the simple reason that having two leads to disagreement and violent quarrels; the polyhydroids, as the scholars call them, died out as a result of internal feuds. Stubborn and headstrong by [...]

Illustration Friday: Return

Nadia — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 23:48:14 +0000

This little guy has just arrived into the world and he’d already want a return ticket. I can’t blame him, must be nice and warm inside an egg.

Doamnelor, domnilor, precum și cei aflați în stări intermediare!

Dacă veți binevoi să faceți clic pe imaginea de mai jos, care este de fapt un pătrățel cu text în el, veți păși în Nadialand, locul cu domeniu punct com unde cerul e mereu albastru, iarba e verde, elefanții sunt roz și toate creaturile, cuvântătoare sau nu, au ochi rotunzi și mari cât cepele. Carevasăzică [...]

Illustration Friday: Swamp

Nadia — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 00:21:51 +0000

This is Thumbelina, a girl who, unlike other fairytale heroines, will not waste her time kissing the frog prince -or living in a swamp, for what it’s worth. This was one of my favourite stories when I was little, as I had a beautifully illustrated Russian book of it (which translated the title more like [...]

Illustration Friday: Shades

Nadia — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 03:18:46 +0000

Shade is the blocking of sunlight (in particular direct sunshine) by any object, and also the shadow created by that object. Does the direction of the shade the giraffe’s throwing make any sense, considering the position of the light source? No. Did I notice before I posted it? No. Is there a chance that some people wouldn’t have noticed either? [...]

Ca de obicei, orice asemănare cu personaje și fapte reale este pur intenționată.
