Ανεβαίνοντας δυο-τρία σκαλοπάτια στιγμές / έπαψα να θάβω την ελεύθερη απόδοσή μου, σε κουτάκια παραπλεύρως / έγραψα και τόνισα στο κουδούνι μου "Όσο η φύση μου επιτρέπει" / οι λογιστές πλάι μου απoδειξαν με την εις άτοπο, πως ο κόσμος δεν είναι σμιλευμένος μονάχα απο σκατά. / H οριστικότης φόρεσε ένα σαμάρι / ισχυρίστηκε πως νιώθει: Ξένη στον κόσμο σαν την Μπλανς Ντυμπουά / ξεκίνησε αφελή δειλό περίπατο / σε ξένο έτος / ξεφισώντας αισιοδοξία.

Allison Schulni is for sure one of the best artists, i discovered this year. Hobo Clown is an extraordinary work, the one that i found myself in!

Do yourself a favor and enjoy the rest of her beautiful claymation here.
**She also has a great taste in music. In "Mound" a trembling ghost ballet Scott (Englel) Walker is
whispering with his doomed voice, a twisted, highly literate dark rainy tune.

Uncovered.

2011-12-07T20:52:00.001+02:00

This is the second project for fashion designer Theia. This time the brief was, to design the visual communication and presentation of a live interactive magazine called ''Uncovered". (It will take place at her atelie-factuly, this Saturday 10/12 which all of the subjects you read in the magazines, will be presented live +music acts and special gifts). After a long meetings and many draft designs, we decided that the layout must be as a usual magazine but without a cover image. The result was the below, typo design:

Here is also a rejected layout. The idea was, that the appearence, would be look like a modern-fashion-minimalistic magazine away from the philosophy of the usuall periodicals you can find at your corner shop.

Anyway if you're planing to be there i'm sure you'll have a great time..

Cliché Poster.

2011-10-19T21:47:00.000+03:00

This is a poster i designed few months ago, in order to decorate an empty space in my house, and it is referring in three words, my mother tried to teach me: Modesty*Courtesy* Humility. The first thought was, to sell some copies in my online shop, but this was impossible, because after the digital printing, i decided to add some acrylics and indian ink to make the apearance of the lettering look more realistic or aggressive. The result was that each poster it's different from the other, in a way each poster, has his own typo design.
Above is the digital print and below is some details from the extra illustration:

Finally after demand i decided to sell some limited copies of this poster. If you are interested to buy one of this, just email me for more details.

Here is a recent poster-invitation i designed few weeks ago, for the fashion and costume designer, Theia. You lost the open day party, but you still got the time to take some interesting sewing and fashion courses.

Talking about fashion i remembered this excellent audio-visual collaboration between Antler Films/Departement and The Good The Bad. The Good The Bad were invited to score the soundtrack to this short experimental film directed by Thibaut Duverneix and produced by Sach Baylin-Stern.

The Good The Bad have made the music available as a FREE download.

Innocent When You Dream

2011-09-20T01:11:00.001+03:00

With the last goodbyes of the past spring i made this moleskine drawing. It was inspired after a conversation with a good-old friend, who noticed me, her philosophy behind all of our choices and moves throught life.
Specifically she said, that: "We are born with a default shackle coat and we straggle in the rest of our life to exempt from it."
This phrase is still stuck in my head while yesterday is here.

This is another illustration from the self-promoted project "Songs I Left Behind". I think it started as a joke or kind of funny-creepy-revenge! My brother always used to fool me around making comments about my favourite musicians, saying that, I like to listen dead man's music. Anyway this is The King, influenced by the famous painting of Andy Warhol "Elvis Hand With Revolver".

Shoe Trees

2011-05-02T01:01:00.003+03:00

The last months i' ve been working in some pairs of wooden shoe trees, from the closed factories back in the 60's. The client set me free to illustrate them as i want, with no conditions, just with faith in my personal touch. After a small research of how to repair them, i ended up in the next drawing-illustration at the first pair. Between the materials i used was a lot of sprays (acrylics and primer), sandpapers and ink. Here is a small sample. Enjoy it as i did!

>Μάρτιος / Οικογενειακή φίλη στο χωριό περιμάζεψε απο τα σκουπίδια προ δεκατεσσάρων (14) μηνών νεογνό γατάκι / ανακύκλωσε την αγάπη της σε σύριγγες γάλακτος, το έσωσε και το έβγαλε από την κολυμπήθρα αναφωνώντας εν χορώ: "Ριρίκα". / Πριν λίγες μέρες η Ριρίκα βρέθηκε ξαπλωμένη στο κρεββάτι του τοπικού κτηνιατρίου, με σκοπό, έναν τυπικό εμβολιασμό ίωσης/. Στη θέα της βελόνας Ριρίκα και κτηνίατρος γκουρλωσαν τα μάτια / με την διαφορά ότι του γιατρού έπειτα από κάποια δεύτερα ανοιγόκλεισαν / από το δόλιο ζώο μείναν ασάλευτα./ Η φίλη μόλις αντελήφθην το θανατικό, χρησιμοποίησε την Ριρίκα σαν κόπανο για να πραγματοποιήσει αιφνιδιαστική επίθεση στον υπέρλαμπρο επιστήμονα. / Φυσικά δεν τον πλήρωσε φεύγοντας αντ' αυτού, παραχώρησε την σειρά της, στα κοσμιτικά επίθετα.

Εν ολίγης δηλαδή, δέχτηκε ευχαρίστως (ο γιος του εκλιπόντα) να ναυπηγήσει το δαρμένο ορφανό . Ψέμα τελικά πως, η αγάπη κρύβει κάπου φαρμάκι.
