Do you have a problem of leaving thoughts? September 16, 2010

I know some other blogs and sites disabled leaving comments, but here on Die without Art, comments are still alive. Not so alive, because you have a problem with them. Is it so hard to leave a few words about some others work or I have to integrate like buttons to save your time? Come on, I’m not angry but offended about your relation with my blog.

The blogosphere is made up of all blogs and their interconnections. The term implies that blogs exist together as a connected community (or as a collection of connected communities) or as a social network in which everyday authors can publish their opinions.

It’s a very nice habit of leaving comments on other blogs, right? Blogosphere has to breathe, interact in all ways. We have to grow it together. Maybe this won’t change anything… but… please do not be so lazy.

Hello cold weather, Clemens has something cool for you September 14, 2010

After Flickr groups, here is the new way for submitting your creative work, via Vimeo group! Author of the first featured video comes from Austria, 26 years old Clemens Wirth. Hello Clemens how’s doin’? :P

Clemens is studying multimedia art at the FH-Salzburg in Austria since two years, but he makes movies for five years now. Currently he is doing an intern in a video production company. Clemens works with the 5d mark II and Adobe’s CS4. Late autum garden was filmed with the 5dmII equipped with the 100mm lens. It was a hobby project to push his skills in after effects, inspired by the offf 2009 titles.

Thank you Clemens for this amazing video!

By-the-way note: It’s officially… I’m moving to Novi Sad in October. Going to uni, media management. Upcoming some cool changes at DwA, stay tuned!

About my new online friend, lovely Ana September 4, 2010



Making new cool friends via Internet was always my favorite online activity. Especially in the creative circle of people. Some of them are now my real (I also call them face-to-face) friends and I’m such a happy person because of that.

This special blog post is about my new dear online friend Ana also-known-as le vent le cri. Ana is a young 16-years-old photographer from Croatia and you can see some of her shots in this post. FOR MORE VISIT HER AWESOME FLICKR PHOTOSTREAM!

Ana is such a lovely person and I can feel that through her photos, so inspiring. She’s interesting and her photostream is telling one wonderful story. I’m glad she had enough confidence to tell me more about her life. After our call I’m loving her more and more. What has grown from just a few comments, continued via mails? An beautiful friendship! We are still just online friends and I’m looking forward to meet her in person, finally.

Thank you Flickr!

FEELING THE LIGHT September 1, 2010

In photography everything is about the light, right?

I’d like to introduce you my new Flickr group “FEELING THE LIGHT“. Last month I saw so many comments as “Wow, look at that light” or “Love the light…”. So I wanted to start a collection of all those beautiful shots, hoping people will understand what I want from them. We are looking for shots with the great light, even they are taken by day or night. Every shot you adore because of the light. Beautiful sunset or awesome long-exposure ghost at dark. My friend Ana is helping me (Thank you dear!) with all those submissions, over 80 accepted so far. The group is very young, so I invite you to share your light with us, let’s feel it together.

It’s time to… COLOR YOUR SPACE August 18, 2010

Michal Sycz also-known-as Noeeko is a freelance digital artist based in Cracow, Poland. He did this cool interior design and made me think about redesigning my current office. Yes, really inspiring! Open to any form of expression, Michal combines photo manipulation, vectors, hand drawn elements and 3D shapes. I especially like the pinky toilet because it looks like a Super Mario level, I’m playin it sometimes when I’m bored. After this few examples I’m about to change something in my office, maybe I have to hire this guy.

Nadia, the camera that thinks August 5, 2010


Unlike a conventional camera Nadia has no display of the photographs to be taken, but rather gives the judgment of aesthetic quality to the machine, displaying only a current rating as feedback about when and what to snap.

The world is full of many different new technologies and each is more or less useful. Artificial intelligence has been a topic that is approached with hope, fear, cynicism, curiousity and caution. However many intelligent devices have already been effortlessly absorbed into our culture and everyday lives. Soon we’ll see devices and systems that have the ability to think creatively and infer beauty. Maybe better then us, no? This novel little device with beautiful name Nadia improves and works its way into consumer devices, watch the video!

Realised in the Digitale Klasse under Joachim Sauter and Jussi Ängeslevä at the University of the Arts Berlin, Germany. Congratulations guys!

Creepy in a creative way, meet cute Jolene July 15, 2010

I took up photography because I wanted to be able to create something artistic without drawing it all out. I love drawing but sometimes it’s very difficult to illustrate certain things so I use photography instead.

You can’t find so much information about Jolene on the internet, but I’ve tried to find out a bit more directly from her. Her really real name is Jolene Yeo and she lives in Singapore, wow! She’s 18 years old taking a diploma in Apparel Design. Jolene speaks Chinese and English as well. She’s posing on many of her photos and that is very commendable because we know how hard is to find a model and even photograph yourself, self-timers, remotes and so. Jolene loves staying at home and doesn’t like parties or social gatherings. “…I must sound like a very boring person…” – she said. No you’re not, at all! Your creativity is probably connected with your lifestyle and that is very good. I can see your story in your photos, even when it’s kind of acting – I’m serious!

Looking forward to see your new work, feel free to submit it. Lovely regards to you, Jolene and to all my other dear readers. Be good, I’m very busy now… back to work.

The summer is magic… that makes me really busy July 11, 2010

Animation work is great, I work with people, with kids and it’s never boring. In short… creative workshops, aqua aerobics at noon, bike tours, photo routes around the town; sports like beach volley, tennis, basket and so; plus show time program including dances, acting and other performances. I’m doing all this whole summer to buy myself a new photography equipment.

Such a poor free time doesn’t allow me to blog. This summer is crazy, kinda overbooked! About previous post “Academy of Arts is knockin’ on the door!” I have only to say door is closed, so I’m still making my plan for the future and I’ll come back to you in September with more information and some new special topics that are already in draft. News from Novi Sad are not so good, think this is gonna be a very interesting and creative gap year. September is calling!

Busy! Busy! Busy! Busy! Sorry! Be good and see you soon.

Hey there, dear friends.

I hope you understand how hard is doing everything alone to keep this blog alive. I've made it because I'm passionate about art & because I wanna celebrate it with you. I'm looking for more and I wanna share more, but I'm very busy doing commercial & personal photography work. So I paused a bit with blogging here.

You still can submit your art work and enjoy all hundered and ten published articles... till I come back with new interesting stories.

Make sure you have subscribed (rss) and you are following me on Twitter. Thanks. Much love!
