Changes.

Ok. It's Kirol here~.
Long time no post, huh?
Yep.
Well, anyway.
I suppose I'd best do this seeing as Fer asked me to.
The image I chose kinda fits in here, too.
It's from the wedding I did. My most important paid shoot so far; it shows just how far I've come. I've grown, become older, and a little bit wiser too.
Fer's the same. I've seen him come a long way. When I first met him, he was clouded by rage. Blinded by agony and hatred by the terribly things going on in his life.
He's an amazing guy who has a hell of a lot of passion for what he does, and he's a good friend.
As I was saying. I first met him back a few years ago, a few months before he got disapear. His views are strong, and he took action on one of them...~ It's his passion flaring up. Back then, he didn't know how to deal with it well.
He went to exile, and I wondered where the hell he went. I'm sure it taught him a lot, but he still came back willed with anger. Still, something was different. He seemed regretful and sad; Broken and torn, fed up with the world. Only the slightest bit, but it could very well have been the catalyst for change that was soon to occur.
He showed me some of the artwork he'd been producing and asked me for my opinion.
Yeah, he was a brilliant artist, but his style was still undefined and raw. He was mixing far too many styles into what was still a liquid mixture, he needed to let it settle and cultivate by focusing on certain points.
I pointed out areas that could've been improved on, and actually found his work amazing to look at as it gave me ideas of working myself. Gradually, his style developed into a dishevelled, twisted dark macabre system. Some of his pieces were more light-hearted, but it seemed to change with his mood.
Oh, and the sheer volume of work! He must work so indefatigably hard, churning out images with such speed and voracity. I wish I had such a drive, but I get so busy with other things... I have a lot on my plate.
Still, Fernando has started to progress a lot. I see a hell of a lot of improvement in his work, and I'm glad I can still offer my opinion on it.
Recently he's getting a lot of fame and interest in his work, which makes me proud to know and help someone so great just as he is helping me.
He is no longer such an angry guy, and instead focuses those feelings onto the page. The dark ink that blinded and twisted him is taking form on the page, and it's enchanting and enticing to see. He's come a long way from the angry boy he used to be.
Rock on, dude.
Rock on.
