Muza-chan Manga Style - Time to Launch

Wed, July 7, 2010, by Muza-chan

I was writing a few days ago about the first sketches of my mascot, Muza-chan… chibi-me ;).

The vast amount of feedback received from you, for which I thank you again, brought me not only joy but also confidence. From today on, she will be a regular presence on the site, so I had to be sure that you like her… ;)

And the time to launch has arrived… Here she is!

Muza-chan

As for her personality, I can tell you that she’s soft and friendly, but when she goes to a photo session, she is determined, strong, serious and even severe.

Muza-chan

Not only her personality is inspired after me, her clothing style also… and carries a big DSLR camera, like I use to… ;)

Muza-chan’s mascot was designed by a very talented Romanian painter and designer,
Dan Voinea.
I can tell you a lot about his amazing works, but I think it’s better to give you a few excerpts from the press:

“Dan Voinea’s characters […] are consistent. They are alive and the viewer almost feels their pulsating muscles, their wild vitality.”
(Ziarul Financiar - business newspaper, Bucharest)

“The impressive size of the paintings and the gaudy force of Voinea’s Heroes and Judges are merely traps the artist successfully avoided by his complex graphic language: form is created, destroyed, ripped to pieces and then reconstructed in a sort of frenetic revival.”
(Observatorul Cultural - cultural magazine, Bucharest)

Some of his works can be seen at //danvoineagallery.blogspot.com/ and he can be contacted at his Facebook page.

Vă povesteam zilele trecute despre primele schiţe ale mascotei mele, Muza-chan… chibi me ;).

Cantitatea mare de feedback-uri pe care am primit-o de la voi, pentru care vă mulţumesc încă odată, mi-au adus nu numai bucurie ci şi încredere. Începând de azi ea va fi afişată mereu pe site şi de aceea trebuia să fiu sigură că vă place…

Momentul mult aşteptat a venit… şi iată că-şi face apariţia!

Muza-chan

E dulce şi prietenoasă, însă atunci când merge la şedinţe foto devine hotărâtă, puternică, serioasă şi chiar puţin severă.

Muza-chan

Nu numai personalitatea este inspirată dupa mine, ci şi stilul de îmbrăcăminte…
şi poartă un mare aparat foto DSLR, aşa cum obişnuiesc să-l ţin eu. ;)

Mascota este creaţia talentatului pictor şi designer român Dan Voinea. Aş putea să vă spun multe despre lucrările lui, dar cred că e mai bine să vedeţi câteva citate din presă:

“Dan Voinea’s characters […] are consistent. They are alive and the viewer almost feels their pulsating muscles, their wild vitality.”
(Ziarul Financiar - business newspaper, Bucharest)

“The impressive size of the paintings and the gaudy force of Voinea’s Heroes and Judges are merely traps the artist successfully avoided by his complex graphic language: form is created, destroyed, ripped to pieces and then reconstructed in a sort of frenetic revival.”
(Observatorul Cultural - cultural magazine, Bucharest)

O parte din lucrările lui le puteţi vedea pe site-ul //danvoineagallery.blogspot.com/ şi puteţi să-l contactaţi pe contul Facebook.
