Constantinople

by Darío Mekler

Queen of the cities. Capital of the eastern roman empire. All times and events occuring simultaneously. Hagia Sophia (the head) at the center being transformed into a mosque by the adding of minarets after its conquest. (I´ll be animating the movement in a coming up animated version) A chained golden horn and the Galata tower at its right arm (left of the image). The circus maximus and the port at its left arm (right of the image). The defense of the city at the center from a column of crusaders at the right and a column of ottoman troops at the left. Floating over the city Constantine, Justinian, Theodora, St Helen (Mother of Constantine). … and some byzantine discussions spread throughout.

Graphite and digital color

The Tell-Tale Heart

“I think it was his eye! yes, it was this! One of his eyes resembled that of a vulture—a pale blue eye, with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees—very gradually—I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye for ever.”

Illustration for the story by Edgar Allan Poe

Breakfast of Champions

by Darío Mekler

"I tend to think of human beings as rubbery test tubes with chemical reactions boiling inside."

"So it's a great temptation for me, when I create a character for a novel, to say that he is the way he is because his wires broke down, or because of microscopic amounts of chemicals he ingested or didn't ingest that day."

Kurt Vonnegut

Illustration for the Novel. Digital
