Artist's Comments

after more than 3 months (on and off) working on this - it's finally finished. the style is pretty incoherent, since it sort of developed with time, and some parts - especially the plants, are really rushed, because the file was huge and Illustrator wasn't cooperating anymore.
i'm not quite sure if i like it. it was a real challenge for me to work with so many colours, so i'm not sure if i did o.k.

[edit] it would take me a lot of time (which i currently don't have) to personally thank each one who added this to their favourites or left a heartwarming comment, so - thank you all, i appreciate it. i really didn't expect so many people to like it.

твърде шарено и претрупано за моя вкус (снимката си е такава дe)... но си струва дори и само заради огромното количество труд, което вложих.
и на мен не ми се вярва, че най-накрая го завърших.

thank you very much.
i used a photo i took last May in Istanbul, though i left some stuff out and played around with the color scheme to achieve some harmony. nearly 3000 paths in all and no live-trace. it certainly isn't out of my head, since it's too colorful for my tastes - that's why i chose the picture - to challenge myself.

Impressive picture. Never seen something similar before. Did you have a reference photo?

i took the reference photo last May in Istanbul. and it was really that chaotic and colorful, even i bit more than my picture shows. it was, like you said, something i had never seen before - a narrow stair-like street with lots of coffee shops, bars and little shops, so full of life. inspiring :)
