A Lion for a Day
The Lion & Lioness for Kozi's Restaurant
Kozi asked for an image of a lion in his shop, Dimitra made the small Ndebele-inspired doodles, and Charis tsevisized it all up to create The Roaring Lion and His Serene Lioness.
Work In Progress
The Ndebele-Inspired Doodles
70 Squares. 45 Horizontal Rectangles. 45 Vertical Rectangles.
From paper to screen and created to have a variety of densities and colors.
Preparing Color Combinations
70 Squares x every possible color alternative. 45 Horizontal Rectangles x every possible color alternative. 45 Vertical Rectangles x every possible color alternative.
Making Magic
This is the part where Charis selects a portrait and, in his mind, first magically deconstructs its photographic elements, then reconstructs them according to a grid and a specific color palette. The rest is slowly composed bit by bit, layer by layer, feature by feature.
