I Simpsonize Random People’s Photos To Make Them Smile

ADVERTISEMENT

There isn’t so much I could say about myself. Just only that my life was a mess before I started to do cartoon drawings. Now I know that before you try something, you never know if this is what you should do.

What a wonderful feeling it is – to draw a cartoon character. First, you look at the portrait photo and smile to the person. Mentally you introduce yourself: “Hey there! You look nice today. Let’s see what distinguishes you from the 7 billion mass of people.” It is also a challenge. Sometimes I spend an hour just looking at people’s faces before gathering my drawing ideas, trying to find their unique features, to guess their temper, to make up their story. All this stuff helps me to feel like they are my good friends because this is what brings something, call it spirit or soul, to those lines and spots.

After the work is done, I look at it again: “Hello, my little creation! So do I recognize my friend from that photo?”. I always give positivity to my funny drawings, because this is what it’s all about.

P.S. The most important part – I’m only interested in creating real-life people’s caricatures, not existing The Simpsons characters, which are objects of copyright.

I am Val, and every morning given to me in this world I try to help someone, make them smile or at least feel easier about themselves.I've become an artist in 2014 - my Simpsons-inspired portraits (I sincerely hope so) brought joy, united families, provoked jokes and added some fun to people's walls.But what matters to me the most is learning through these projects. I've met so many great people, learned about their interests, mindsets which allowed them to stay close to their loved ones, fashion choices which inspired many changes in my own appearance, meaning behind every personal detail... I will never unlearn how good people can be completely different but still be able to find all the same true values: love, appreciation, kindness, humor, understanding and support.I have developed into someone who enjoys helping people express these things through my art. Now I mostly concentrate on my "The Amazing Road" and "The Marvelous Journey" designs, which I personalize for those who ask. My learning continues. I keep each drop of precious wisdom with me, to remember in times of struggle (like the war in my country). Without this wisdom, it'd be impossible to conquer the darkness, so let's just carry on.I appreciate each one of you who took time to read this entry. Thank you and stay kind.
