Hello everyone today FEATURED on YesterdayAfter is Australian Photographer Lignum Draco and his Blog Etcetera Etcetera Etcetera I am very honoured this week to introduce his wonderful Photography here to all of you. When you visit his Blog  you feel to be travelling in Australia! 🙂
My passion for photography lead me to discovered Draco few months ago I was amazed by his incredible monochrome street photography, and all his work. He describe himself as shy but he has a great personality, we have been connected since then. I am an “Amateur” in photography I am always very inspired to see the work of others that I admire and I like to share it.
Draco is not new to be Featured, he has been in other great places, also Featured on WordPress Freshly Pressed for his wonderful Street Photography. Every year he witness and photograph a great Artistic Event “VIVID” that takes place in Sydney, on his Blog you can see all that beauty!

Art, Digital Art, Digital Unique Portraits, One of a kind, Photography

Digital Art – When Nature Meets Humans

Digital Portrait - When Nature Meet Humans -
Digital Portraits – When Nature Meet Humans – #1  Copyright© Carolina Russo

Launching 
A Digital Art Portraits Collection

“WHEN NATURE MEETS HUMANS”

Portrait #1  – Proud –

Today I want to share with you what I have been working on and launching something new.
I like to continually evolve with my Art and creativity. From years I love to work in Digital finding new ways of visualize and learn while experimenting. I like to work with photos, manipulating images of any kind, my followers already knows and if you look at this Blog, there are many images over my menu pages that I create to customize the look of the theme I use here on WordPress like the “Header” which is a collage of many images layered together. Often I post my work created in  Digital Art  and  I am going soon to make a new gallery. When I am not working on my Jewelry Collections, and when I am not holding a pencil or a brush, I love to go Digital and Photoshop is one of my ally. I am using Photoshop from years, for me there are not other software to really compare with.
At this moment I am very  inspired on creating an evolving Collection of Artistic one of a kind Digital Portraits with the title of  “When Nature Meets Humans” this portrait “Proud” it is the #1 of this Collection and to create it I used 6 photos found over internet on Pinterest so all the images used are not my own Photography (I haven’t found any photographer name to give Credits).

I came up with the idea to mix nature with humans and create a unique and very different kind of portraits…let’s say very unusual portraits with all my experience, Art and soul into it and I love it.

If you’re interested in purchase a custom and unique portrait like this one using your own personal photos, I can create your personal and unique portrait, for info and details please contact me.

As always I love your comments!

followed-blog-200-2x

Congratulations on getting 200 total follows on YesterdayAfter!
Your current tally is 202.

 

Thank you so much to all of you that decided to follow my Blog!

I had my Blog active for about 2 years I sign up on WP in 2013 without post anything!
I was only working on the graphics and designs to fully customize it and no words was ever posted.
The purpose was to create more of a website dedicate to promote my Art and Jewelry since this is my full-time daily job.
Then one day at the end of March I decided to jump in.
I felt like I was a drop in the ocean almost impossible to be seen there were many beautiful blogs.
On June 21 2015 I hit the 100 Followers Milestone…It was an amazing accomplishment!
I felt so welcome here and loved and it is so great,  that we can share and encourage each other!
Yesterday the 200 Milestone is arrived!
I am stunned and amazed about the fast growth it’s fascinating!

…..THANK YOU to ALL…..I am very grateful and thankful for your presence and support….
each one of you made this happen with me!

I am very happy our strength together it’s very encouraging to keep going…

 

Have a wonderful Saturday!

Poems

Hands

Hands
Hands

 

Hands
Artist precious hands,
intensity and love givers.

Hands guided by a heart pulse,
forging and hammering metals,
holding precious stones.

Inspiration from the soul,
happiness  and art givers,
emotions in a motion of senses.

stroking brushes fulfilled with passion,
dripping water on white paper,
splashes of colors take forms.

Ink tears into the unknown
a creation is born.
