Swapping vessels

Dear friends and fans,
I am moving to a new, proper web site and invite you to move with me: www.denisforkas.com

I have many tricks up my sleeve, much is planned for the new place. See you there!

I am still working on the site, so I decided to update the blog with yet another small entry.

Decapitation of the mortal sister, the birth of Pegasos and Khrysaor, the ultimate trophy. 

Again, I am not revealing the eyes here, but in one of the future takes I definitely will.

Reincarnation

Dear friends,

As you have noticed it's been a while since my last update here. I am working on a proper site/portfolio (seeing as the gallery is too slow with keeping their promises), which I hope will provide an elegant and comprehensive insight into my work. Many thanks to all the friends and colleagues who lend their helping hand here! I love you all.

I am also planning to finally get down to my lithography project (I know many of you look forward to the results) after I am through with all the lined up commissions. I will definitely be selling litho prints on the site as well.

Also, Aurora Borealis is releasing a special vinyl version of the acclaimed Horseback album (released last year by Utech) . It is a great chance to hear the analogue version of the beautiful songs by Jenks Miller and witness The Moment of Truth drawing at the right scale: The Invisible Mountain

Sketchbook of the Yoke

A combined sketchbook post. A few assorted pages here allowing for some insight into the alchemy.

The Moment of Truth

Artwork for Jenks Miller's Horseback. A perfect match of image and verse achieved in a complete unawareness of one another:

This other truth imperils me:
So many wolves part ways across some plain;
I cannot keep them all at once within my sight,
And can't account for those I cannot see.
I may have one beast by the throat, twisting under me,
While his brother's teeth move close across my neck.
I fashion myself into a hunter.
To whom, then, do I turn for mercy?
