Some Excerpts
I like my nickname a lot, so please call me Vong. I'm also known as Revolution4u from DA. I have no clue how I got this nickname, but I’ve had it for several years. I'm actually quite depressed that I can't change it so that to be Vongue everywhere! I'm 23, and though I’ve lived in Israel half of my life, I consider myself Russian. Russian is my first language and I even sometimes write hardcore porn in it. ^^ I'm working as a graphic designer; all that cheap stuff you see on the streets — ads, flyers, business cards or all the printable stuff people pay for? That's my job. And yeah, I kind of love it, especially since it leaves a lot of time for my hobbies.
Sometimes I use stock photos from DA or crappy quality previews from gettyimages.com. Sometimes I make a Frankenstein monster from different parts of different images and get scared myself. It's more complicated when I have something very specific in my head, and I’ll make my BF hate me by taking photos of him for refs and then drawing him with "some stranger's head". And by the way, the hands on at least half of my art pieces belong to him.
