I love minimal portraits, I learn so much from the person when I turn them into icons. I always observe what is the most recognizable part of their faces, in essence what makes them be who they are. I read how hard they work, how focus they are, how good they are at listening. And also I know how to make them look even better. Maybe there is a little twinkle in the eye, or move .1 mm up the line of the mouth to make them look happier or friendlier. </div>

I wanted to create an exciting image for a famous blues festival in Prague, something more energetic that portrays the amazing night life in a magical city like Prague, something jazzy and bubbly, something modern and elegant. I based my design in the music and the feeling of a blues dance, danced the whole night long and the sensual neon lights that invites you to stay awake.</div>

Something I love about my work is that whenever I need to explain someone the kind of world I would like to create I start by producing a slice of that world, I imagine a few details, a part of a story that doesn't exist yet. Some of those worlds never see the light in this world, but I keep track of some of them because in my head they are always there.</div>

It has been a long time since I actually painted something figurative :) Everytime I paint it will always bring up something from the very deep from my consciousness. I can see after many years, how much I have changed. The fact that now I can paint in so many colors, and that my themes are less dramatic makes me feel very happy :D</div>

So, this weekend I celebrated my birthday with my dancing friends Vit and Evgeny, and we just had an amazing party! Many of my friends dont know how is my night life when I say I am going to dance every night. But last sunday, they experienced it fully. I was so happy to see them doing the twist with Chubby Checker in their 50's outfit. This just inspired me so much. I decided to make Vit and Evgeny an illustration as a birthday present. This one is Vítek, now Im going to start working on Evgenini :)<br />

This is a part of some project Im developing for Havas Prague, in which I ended up adding a flat illustration of one of my favorite Japanese artists <a href="http://www.yayoi-kusama.jp/" target="_blank">Yayoi Kusama</a>. So this is my homage to her :) I wonder who will notice this little detail when they see the whole visual :)</div>

I was encouraged by my friend Monica Marquez to participate in a contest an NGO logo. I found myself in the busiest time of the year, traveling between Prague and Berlin to develop one of the biggest campaigns for O2 and also developing more of Dr. Parek. So, at the time I couldnt see all I was going to achieve, but now I can tell you, Im a rock star! :) I endend up winning the logo contest, doing a great job in Berlin, winning a couple more advertising awards, and still manage to spend time with my awsome boyfriend and my dancing. </div>

So, last year 2013, I had the oportunity to work with 2 great men, Director Jesse Baldwin and the lord of the bunket Patrik Velek. They made a funny music video about some women being abducted by an extraterrestrial pop band (czech band Portless). So my contribution to this music video can be seen in the video below for about fraction of a second. I made the graphics on the spaceship screen :) And I also made a beautiful futuristic logo for the band.<br />

I also ended up doing some bad-ass graphics trying to find out how to make graphics that may look like a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slit-scan_photography" target="_blank">slit scan</a> technique used by Stanley Kubrick for the movie 2001: A space oddysey back in the late 60s. You can see was I ended up doing in illustrator here:<br />

A good friend of mine is the owner of a very succesful restaurant in Prague, called Las Adelitas. Some time ago, they wanted to make a very specific restaurant where they would sell only tacos. That didnt happen, because they decided to expand and make their restaurant stronger. Very wise decision.</div>

Their idea inspired me to do something mexican mixed with the czech language. I was imaging how would the czech culture will feel if it would be like the mexican or indian. Full of colors and textures :)</div>
