One of the sunny days…
Good day artist, creators and philosophers,
I hope all of you are enjoying the sunny days. Probably this is the time then creativity steps aside as everything around you blooming, you lose concentration towards creativity.However it’s good time to take a break from computer screen and analyze what’s going around you.
As my plans to buy table and chair is in delay, all my creative juices are being produced at the workplace. I’m determined to change that in near future and shear with you all my new experience, skills and thoughts as at this moment there aren’t much I can show you apart some pieces I done few months ago.
All in all I can’t complain too much as i gaining valuable of experience and learning new ways of producing awesome illustrations.
Please find attached my newest illustrations I’ve done for The Times newspaper supplement reports.
I would appreciate if you share it in your social networks. As from now you can find my as well in dribble and society6.
Thank you very much ladies and gents.See you next time.

Obsession in the head
Well time passes fast here in London. Big town mechanism swallows your time and energy and you don’t know where your minutes gone.
Talking about creativity and positiveness this period for me is quite good as i’m learning a lot at my work from guys. Getting a real feeling of creative business with all ups and downs. As well few my illustrations have been published in The Times newspaper. It’s quite rewarding to see your name printed under illustration. Improving skills in design layout, composition, vector illustrations. In Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign i starting to feel like at home. Promising for future as busy times are coming. On other side you don’t have time to improve personal skills and do some really arty images but that’s at the moment are locked case and placed in safe. Still can’t resist to do some sketches as ideas popping around all the time.
I guess i have some recent thoughts that only passion and obsession leads your artworks to perfection, you just have to be mental about what are you doing and that’s should keep you going. Otherwise you never reach your goals. To be appreciated by others you need to burning all the time with confidence. At the moment my case a bit difficult as it may sound as excuse but my health isnt best at the moment as i have a bit problem with my eyes.( have to get new glasses which costs around 400 pounds) But i hope to fix this prob in near future and let myself to work more productive. Well we will see.
I gonna leave you lads with link to my newest works. Please appreciate it, share it, link it. Thank you.

Everybody always thinks they are right
Late evening dear art buddies,
I started this blog with famous graphic designer quote “ Everybody always thinks they are right ” as I think everyone in this world have only one possibility - it’s just be yourself.
The problem occurs then you try to improve your life, invent something new, find a inspiration and joy of doing things you love, as far as I realized from my experience, life is a bit complicated then explanation in books, how to find yourself or meaning in life. You just can’t. Life is all about planing, doing something what you not really enjoying, as simple waking and jumping out of bed, you rather stay in worm bed every morning until you like, but as its - you have to. Or another thing, be consistent with your plans, make notes of things you need to do, always do or that at same time. To be passionate and work until you drop is a good thing, but until you know then to stop. Those all books, about being productive and successful is a sweet lie, whose stories about people making things work for them isn’t gonna work for you and here are some reasons why:
Firstly, human being is not machine, is much more complicated thing with all emotions and nerves systems, you cant work as clock ( don’t missinterprate - hard work, ambitions and regular efforts its really good thing to achieving you want) What i mean is that we get tired, stressful, have our ups and downs, low or high energy, active or sick so you can’t create your art then you are sick, or do any project then you visiting ill friend.
Another thing Creativness is not schedule - its a flow. You just need to catch it and do it with it everything you can at that moment. It’s freedom to express, not a thing you can place in hours or timing. Productivity is different thing: how to make something quicker and better in such a time. Artist is not a worker who can makes 10 drawings in 1 hour. It’s not about quantity.
So be careful about all these stories, it’s just sell good, what you have to do is nurture your creativity and skills. Go to museums, drink a cup of your favorite tea, watch inspirational movie, travel, read a book in the park, live a life and creativity will follow you.
This is my philosophy and what i learned recently.
As well my project Thinkers ended, but a good thing that i decided to do Second part and here is a people i want to illustrate.
The list:
Oscar Wilde/Victor Hugo/Ediath Path/Coco Channel/Antoine de Saint-Exupery/Marc Twain/Morrisey/Nietschze/Anthony Kiedis/Flea/Bob Dylan/Audioslave music band/Lucian Freud/Adrien Brody
and so on, as the list and people i will illustrate might be different.
So buddies, goodnight and good luck whatever you are doing.!
Best Wishes,
Arunas Kacinskas
