An impression

















I was commissioned to produce an illustration expressing an impression about Berlin.  
Everything in my life is instinctual and in the moment.  If I am attracted to something, that's it.  My first impression is how I go.
Jim Carrey once said, "If I had never ventured beyond being a stand-up comic, then I would be sitting in my house today working on my Leonardo DiCaprio impression." "If only every man who sees my films did not get the impression he can make love to me, I would be a lot happier.", said Brigitte Bardot.  "I don't know what impression you might have of the way I live.  I live in a quiet place.  I do not live as a hermit, though other people would prefer it if I did.", said Daniel Day-Lewis.
Impression is often something that turns out to be what you least expect.  Is often something that is far from true to what you perceive.
The thing is it's not something right or wrong when you make a wrong impression or you try to do a right impression that turns out to be wrong.  
If I have never filmed any commercial, I think I would make a better impression on people.
Sometimes one creates the strongest impression by remaining silent.
But then what's so important to leave an impression?
