Today i would like to present another Greek artist, the illustrator Kark. He is a talented artist and a dear friend of mine. I am in the process of bringing him to the art community, but as aways there is a really slow progress due to the difficulty to grasp the idea of blockchain in general. In my opinion this is one of the most serious problems and it hinders a lot the expansion of art community at the blockchain.

Kark lives in Thessaloniki Greece, he is a traditional and digital artist and studied art and illustration at the De Montfort University Leicester (DMU). He has been working since recently at the Capital newspaper as a caricature artist and also illustrated a children's fairy tale book.

I like his art style a lot, he is an artist that puts a lot of work in the details and also uses an impressive palette of colours. His caricatures are very realistic, almost to the point that you think that maybe it is a distorted photograph. He uses also the language of symbolism and this obvious from the tiny yet important details of each portrait.Finally his comic book style brings me memories of the 80s and 90s style of illustration that i loved when i was younger. Rough colours, unclear outlines and a deep passion for creation.

I really hope to persuade him to join and make the art community a little more rich. Wish me luck.

is a work of the most incredible and fascinating, this work is more than qualified to be the cover of a metal music album, it is a great work, thank you for introducing us to this artist and his fascinating artwork

You are very welcome and I agree with you. His works could make perfect covers for a metal band😊

It seems to be a dreamy and militant picture. I see a willingness to fight strongly. Good work thanks!

tell him, WOW! from me

Sure i will, thank you:)

He's so talented !!! :D I hope he does join, George :) Thanks for bringing his works to our attention <3

I hope so too @veryspider:) He is very talented but his activity in promoting his artwork minimal. I could not find even a short bio of him at the net...

Some artists are like that, we are not very good at the people aspect of things, specially about marketing ourselves and things like that, some of us are pretty hopeless XD

Yes, when things get dark, hope is lost. But in steem there are supportive and nice communities so you can start becoming a little bit more hopeful, that's why i am trying to convince him to get on board.

Yes! It would be great if he does give Steemit a chance :D

Yes!! All we are saying, is give steem a chance lol

Great!!

The artist is talented indeed, thank you for your kind words:)

Incredible publication darling
You have not found the biography but with what you have exposed in your participation it is very clear that he is an incredible artist with great works and great style.
Good luck in the contest I'm sure you convince him.

Thank you Carmen, he is indeed a great talent. I will try to convince him using every way. In the end i will tell him about how beautiful are the girls in the community and i am sure this will get him on board:)

I trust you will get it.
Yes, that's a good strategy, in steemit there are many beautiful women, I do not have any near but I have several in mind.

Wicked artworks! Love his subtle choice of realistic colours :) All his illustrations seem almost surreal and dreamy. I'm always a fan of artists who use sketchy strokes and textures.

Not going to deny, I was skeptical about steemit before too. Took me a while. I reckon it must it must be even harder for artists who are so used to physical publications to get their head around blockchain. I guess it takes one step of curiosity for the rest of the pieces to fall into place (plenty of looking up and comprehending the system).

Hope he comes around :) Good luck

I hope so too Melissa 😊

Why you were sceptical about steemit? I would like to hear, the knowledge might help me😊
