Lycanthrope

These days I´m very busy with new projects and prepairing of my next exhibition...So ,If someone askes me to paint or draw something for him,I can´t say if I will have time for that right now. But sometimes I need a little rest from the designs I´m working on ,so I just put the stuff I ´m working on away and paint something spontainly.
That´s how the Lycanthrope sketches came out.

My friend from Slovakia  asked me few months ago if I can design something for his new hobby.
He loves to go fishing and prepairs really delicious specialities from the fishes he catches by himself. Martin spends most of his free time out on a boat in the Liptov dam which is close to my hometown.
Itś a really nice place ,so if you have the way to Liptov part of Slovakia ,you should deffinitely visit this dam and spend some time there.
The fisherman guys call them selves The Lycanthrope fishing crew and so you can imagine what he asked me to draw for him...

           During my free time I tried to make some sketches and here you can see the results.
         I can´t say it´s perfect,because I will never never be completely sattisfied with my work.
                                   But it´s my imagination of a Lycanthrope catching a fish.
I already send it to him and we will see .Maybe I will meet the fisherman guys this summer in Slovakia wearing my lycanthrope designs on their shirts...

I think most of you guys know what´s going on when I say the words I LOVE PORNO.

It´s not just a famous clothing brand from Prague,but also a creative comunity of people.

Few days ago they were openning their New Forbidden spot,which is also a gallery place,restaurant,chill place,miniramp,show room...

My friend Michal Kubala ( photographer ) invited me to join him for this event and it was amazing.

This place is huge and all the walls painted with streetart and graffity make it really interesting.

Also the meals and drinks that they offer here are very delicious and you should try it for sure !

Lots of interesting people from all kinds of arts,sports,street cultures and styles met during the openning and filled this place with incredible atmosphere.

                                     Thank you for inviting me and Good luck guys!!!                                                                      I hope to come back soon for more interesting events in The Forbidden spot.

And this girlstrip was just SICK !

The trip was a spontain idea and We did´t knew what exacly we wanna see in Berlin.

I had just this one dream in my head for 3years...to visit a abadoned place called Teufelsberg.

During the years it became a graffity and streetart mecca.

When we arrived to Berlin we just looked at the map and found out it´s not so far and went to explore.

We can do this  !...

The smile on my face means pure happiness ...,I finaly saw this amazing spot on my own !

The art is everywhere !!!

Together is better 

We had a concert in the highest point of the building and we smashed it !

             Even we got lost in the forest for a while...We always find a way how to enjoy it.

Stalin plaza with Michal Kubala

I´m really happy I have so many creative people around me.

One of them is for sure my very good friend Michal Kubala !

Michal is a amazing photographer,who has a very good eye for details and He knows how to catch the right moment .

             We met randomly on one snowboard event two years ago,when I returned from Sri lanka.
                  Since that night we became very good friends and we support each others work.
One month ago We had a photoshooting of my diy skateboard designs and vans shoes on my favourite place in Prague called Stalin plaza.In the past there was a huge statue of the dictator Josif Stalin,which was later demolished and they build a metronome on his place.

I love to spend time here,because you have a nice view on  Prague and it´s also surrounded by trees,meadows and parks so you can just sit down and rest,paint or just enjoy your day off.
Stalin plaza is also a famous skate spot and you can watch many skaters from all over the world doing their tricks here.
After sunset you can just grab a bottle of wine or beer ,sit down,chill next to the metronome and enjoy the ligts of night Prague with your friends.

                              Thank you Michal Kubala for the amazing pictures of me and my designs !

Riders on the storm

 I made this "Riders on the storm" skate design specialy for my friend Tom Granier ( France ).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaDa7Eb4VcM

He asked me to paint a skate for him after he saw some of my works on my instagram profile.

https://www.instagram.com/zabkasworld/

His only criteria were : to use Mountains,The Doors, cupcake and plush.

First I thought it will be hard to connect all these themes into one design,but after I watched some of Tom´s freeski video edits and listened to some songs from The Doors I had it !

                      I draw The Doors portraits into clouds and placed them over the mountains.
But the picture was too blue for me ,so I draw the pink sunset in the background .It makes the perfect contrast to the blue color and now the whole design looks more oldschool ,too.
I choose pink ,also because fluff animals are from plush and mostly are pink,so I used next item from the themes which Tom wanted for his design.The only thing I didnt use is the cake,because that would not fit into the concept of this design. I fixed the final picture with a transparent,spray lacquer.

I´m happy I could paint something for this guy ,who loves and enjoyes the nature so much as me .
I already send the skateboard to him,so I hope he will send me some  pictures when he receives it.
Have fun Tom ! ...and " for the few !"
