Digital painting showing a rose melted into a burger. That’s why it’s called Burger Rose. Just a rose hanging out, a burger within its being. Contemplating life. McDonald’s. Food.

Digital painting using a collage of pictures for reference. Afghanistan, a nude woman on the phone, cityscapes, poppy fields, a picture of an aircraft. What does it all mean? Only the artist knows.

Digital painting of a bunch of dummies in a test setting inside an aircraft. A public domain image was used for reference. No clue where I got it from. Maybe if you reverse-image-search it, you’ll find the original.

Digital painting based on a photograph of an M4 tank getting knocked down somewhere in Guam.

Digital painting based on the photograph of Haile Selassie in Dambacha Fort, 1941. I continue the same technique first used with ‘Mamoru Shigemitsu’: Using a public domain image for reference, I zoom in as far as possible and trace the abstract shapes. It’s basically glorified drawing by numbers.

Digital painting based on the photograph of Mamoru Shigemitsu signing the Instrument of Surrender, officially ending World War II. I started with digital art because I was looking for a replacement to my Crack/MMO-addiction. First time using ‘Rowini30’ as an alias.

I spray-painted a Dragon Tree on an oil drum, in Gran Canaria. Using tape to create the silhouette. Fun times. Nice island. Hope they didn’t build the highway around the island after all.

A painting of a tear gas grenade on the wall of a room in the Ramallah hostel. That’s a poem by Rumi written next to it. We got gassed by the IDF the day before, so I thought this was a fitting motive. It happened at the infamous Friday Protest, and one of the canadian guests even got jailed. Fun times!
