However, I posted a couple images on deviant art that are pretty representative of the majority of my work. Since I work full time, I haven't really needed one, but it's something I should probably work on.<br /><br />http://phil0923.deviantart.com/<br /><br />I am a scientific illustrator of flora and fauna mostly - at least that is what I am always asked to paint. I work mainly in acrylic. It is not very creative work, but I guess I shouldn't complain. However, it is the main reason why I admire your work so much. There is so much creativity and fire in the way you paint, and your subject matter. In my work, the less creativity, the better.<br /><br />The other half of my portfolio is graphic and exhibit design. So that means designing my illustration into a graphic panel that explains a little bit about the animal, and so on. My exhibit design work is mostly 3d models of museum spaces before they are constructed, etc.<br /><br />In any case, your little paintings are gems, and the owners will be very lucky to have them.<br /><br />Best,<br />Phil<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823542700069005194.post-88704528710451700912013-03-26T08:35:07.189+01:002013-03-26T08:35:07.189+01:00Hi Phil,

Yes, ...Hi Phil,<br /><br />Frightened Monster is 5 X 7 inch.<br /><br />Yes, you are right, although I did not mention the concept of luck in my post, it is indeed an important element. But we hardly can control much of it, at least it seems so, and that is probably the reason I skipped it. Being born under a lucky star, or having a good karma, being lucky…is definitely important. But on the other hand, there is space for improvement, I believe. One has to invite luck into his life by being active, working hard, making clever decisions.<br /> <br />By the way, where can I see your work, Phil?<br />Petar Meseldžijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07458069410674859739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823542700069005194.post-86335960890085376822013-03-24T23:53:11.695+01:002013-03-24T23:53:11.695+01:00Really great work Petar.

I remember getting out of college looking for work, and the struggle I had to endure in those early days. Fortunately, things worked out well enough for me. As much as I would like to go completely freelance, I have a full time position as an illustrator and designer for a Museum in Chicago, with some additional freelance work on the side. When I look back at those early days, it seems that in addition to all of those characteristics you mentioned, I also benefited from a fair amount of luck - something young artists have no control over. <br /><br />Anyway, excellent work Petar and I can't wait to see more.<br /><br />PhilAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823542700069005194.post-19961081270572790752013-03-23T20:02:25.340+01:002013-03-23T20:02:25.340+01:00Thanks, guys!Thanks, guys!Petar Meseldžijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07458069410674859739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823542700069005194.post-54200098902088581002013-03-22T23:42:17.740+01:002013-03-22T23:42:17.740+01:00Been on a Ape binge recently with Lancelot Link an...Been on a Ape binge recently with Lancelot Link and several documentaries, and that frightened monster is fantastic.
