Wrong Heinz, although that is funny. That reminds me of a beer in Finland called Zit. Could you imagine the advertising "Pop open a nice, refreshing Zit and relax!" Or the Ford Pinto which did not sell well in Brazil since it is slang for a small, male appendage . . . [X(]

Nothing to complain from my side
, but I found your old one quite interesting. Would really like to see this art in a higher resolution with added info?

It was a drawing I did a long time ago from imagination.

dziękuję serdecznie! (Hope it's correct 
)
impressive.
very.
can't say how often I looked at the small one, so the original is a relief, allthough an anstonishing one - many THX again.
Very glad I finally asked!!

Nie ma sprawy.
Drawings always look better when you minimise them.
If you like art, check "Pavel Tatarnikov" in Google. He is the Belarussian god of watercolor.

RE: OT: 2019 challenge
Still prefere your's. :p
Tatarnikov however reminds me at the great fairy tale books from then Czechoslowakia in my childhood, the language of iconographie coloured in chagallic motives of wonders and myth.
But for me it's more about expressionism and deeper sense, avoiding a too strict connotation, if that makes sense.

RE: OT: 2019 challenge
Thanks!
Now you got me interested. Can you point me to those Czechoslovakian books with watercolor illustrations? I am only aware of Checkosloavakian technical illustration representing cars and aircraft, and Karel Zeman animations.

RE: OT: 2019 challenge
Would like, but it's memories from my childhood, 40 y ago The era of Pan Tau.
Really had to dig these books out, Tartarnikov as an illustrator however is probably more interessant.
BTW, Czechoslowakia at the time was a big content producer for (w)German pre-evening TV, I still remember all these marvellous made fairy tale movies. Sry, Walt D., no hard feelings, but your Cindarellastuff ... nice try.
What I personally found much more interesting is this ambivalent view so common in eastern Europe: Take a neoclassic picture of a knight for example, in French or German culture it's simply a boring nobleborn knight w/o any further questions; what I found especially in polish pubs however is their love for ambiguous' characters, the painting challenges you - is he a raider or a Paladin? Friend or foe? Obviously it depend's... 'The Witcher'[&o] illustrates this perhaps best. But I'm talking too much.

That doesn't seem likely. The posting tempo is way to low to make it a million posts before the year ends. Its now been a month and "only" 3498 new posts. Will not even make 900000, posts unless posting increases dramatically.

OK, forum has been active today. Seems like lots of posting. Still doubt we'll get to 1M by year's end though.
