Exposè 7

expose 7 220x300 Exposè 7 Exposè 7 is finally out! The seventh book of this famous series published by Ballistic Publishing is now avaiable for preorder! The book is published in three different editions: Soft Cover, Hard Cover (my favourite) and Limited Edition.

This time, Exposè 7 shows 391 digital art masterpieces by 288 artists in 51 countries! The Soft/Hard Cover Editions show 224 pages, while the Limited Edition has 240 pages and a black leather cover!

This time, the front cover is “Touch of Gold” an image by Bente Schlick, and, in my opinion, this is one of the most amazing covers ever published on this series. If you are ont of the first 300 lucky people who preorder a copy of this book (or either if you preorder or purchase a Limited Edition copy) you can download a 30 minutes video walkthrough on the making of this cover! Also, if you buy a Limited Edition, you will receive 8 amazing high quality prints!

I must admit, I’ve preordered my copy as a selfmade “gift” for my last exam result on 30rd April (that’s why I haven’t updated in a while) and I can’t wait to see it! Expect a review from me!

The book shipping will start Mid-June!

I’ve been published on Amazing Event #1!!!

Hello sweeties!

amazing event 1 Ive been published on Amazing Event #1!!! Some months ago I submitted my Fractal Artworks to a new magazine published by Fantasyana Publishing, and they accepted my artworks! So now the first issue of this magazine is out! It was a big surprise for me, I’ve never been published! It was a great emotion when I receive my full high resolution pdf copy and I discover my pages (you cannot see my article in the preivew pdf version)!

I was feature near great artists I admire, like Veronica Casas, Veronica Atanacio, Nick Harris, Alan Lathwell, Nick Deligaris, Duc Truong Huyen, Ida Larsen, Constanza Ehrenhaus, Dawn Austin and more!

There are also lots of interviews to artists like Henning Ludvigsen, Andy Jones and Joerg Warda.

It was a great honour being published here, on the first issue, and I hope of becoming a regular artist fro this magazine, maybe not also for abstract and fractals but also with my illustrations.

You can purchase a pdf or a printed copy of this issue [here]. Prices are EUR 3,00 – USD 3,75 for the PDF version and EUR 28,00 – USD 34,80 for the Printed version.
