Hello fellow deviants, how are you all doing?!
Inspired by: <da:thumb id="424844916"/>
Ever since I was a kid I was inspired by the works of other artists, as we all are. I used to look at the art works of Michelangelo and draw my own versions of them. Then as I grew a bit older, I looked at shows like 'Duck Tales', "My Little Pony', 'COPS', 'G.I.Joe' and 'Transformers' and draw all the characters day by day. And of course as you all know, there were all the classic Disney movies, from 'SnowWhite and the Seven Dwarfs' all the way to 'Aladdin' and 'Pocahontas'. I was also enchanted by photography! And the works of such talents like Herb Ritts and Steven Meisel captivated my heart and influenced my art forever.
Back then, it was almost impossible to get in touch with all these wonderful artist and show them my appreciation for their work by sharing my art with them. Today, getting in touch with the people who inspire you is almost at the click of button. You can now upload a drawing inspired by someone you love, tag them in the picture, and they'll probably see it right away.
So many of my followers here on DA have blessed me with this wonderful gift of art which is constantly moving me, as I never thought that I would live to see the day where my own original art would inside others, and now it seems so many of you also respond to my photography work, which beyond overwhelming to me and I can't take that for granted as it hits the very core of my own childhood where I used to do the same.
So, I would like to share a few of the recent works by talented artists from all over the world who were inspired by work, and also share one of their own original work which I love the most and hopefully give them all more exposure as well.

Charleston shooting -
In one moment a mother no longer has a son, a doughtier no longer have a father, kids can no longer visit their grandmother.
You try to think only about that, but then you look at the pictures of the victims, and the picture of the terrorist who killed them, and the mind don't want to go there. You start to hear voices on the news saying it was 'an accident', or blaming it on 'misuse of drugs'...
Then pictures of a young man holding a gun in his hand in one shot and burning the American flag in another start to appear online. And again, you try not go there, cause you don't want to live in this kind of world, it's too hard to admit it. You

First things first - If you're looking for a drawing to be done within a week-2 weeks, that's not likely to happen! I am always busy, always working on something. I approach each creation as a personal one, putting all my heart and effort into it, and that takes time. That is also why most of you might think that I charge too much, but I'm not one to sell myself short and I can guarantee you the best, highest quality result from a passionate artist that will make every bit of your mone
