PROGRESS #1
my first project with fan-works in 2018
— I created this project to show off my skills at the time.
In our digital art industry, there wasn't a single project or collection of work that was all connected in terms of meaning, ideas, or style. Everyone was just dropping their work on their own, and it seemed kinda boring to me.
Since I work in the music industry, I decided to release the project in a mixtape format.
I came up with the idea for the photoshoot and the approach to the project itself. That's why there's a cover with my image at the beginning and at the end, and also the titles of the works with the names of the artists. It's kind of like a CD disk that has a front and a back with a track list.
The project has a bunch of different styles and approaches, which I think shows off my versatility. I chose some of my favorite artists with different styles and tried to show them in new ways.

FRONT+BACK
The idea behind this photoshoot is the lack of support from friends and colleagues, which can be expressed in many ways. They won't let you know unless you shine, but as soon as you do something worthwhile, they'll seek your attention and flatter you. This project is a living example. I got that reaction.
[Camera] - itself looks away, as if it doesn't notice me, which is like how society can sometimes seem. They say they're not interested in you, and it's hard to get people to help you when you're a nobody and haven't done anything noteworthy. I've met a lot of criticism, it's normal. But somehow, the criticism got less when they started noticing me everywhere. So, what changed? Nothing. My name just got mentioned more often.
[Сamera_shadow] - The shadow's watching me. People who said I was doing something wrong or that my work wasn't worthy of attention. I think we've all felt that feeling when someone looks at you like you're worthless instead of supportive. But actually, it's these people who are secretly watching you and your development.
They'll be the first ones to text you "I'm FWY bro!" as soon as they see headlines with your name on them.
