Yesterday I uploaded an artwork we did almost 10 years ago for our second album.
It's Gandhi morphing into an atomic bomb.
Pretty nice, right?
It reminded me of the time I started doing graphic stuff, and did a lot of prints and etchings, and other stuff like that.
One more artwork I did in that style is morphing Gandhi with nationalistic Serbian leader called Draža Mihajlović, who was, well, let's say, an absolute contradiction to everything Ghandi stood for.
It was made in linocut.
(this one was done by turning the linoleum upside down (facing down) and printing under high pressure)
These types of thematic combinations are always nice, and have their own narrative.
Or this artwork which depicts a Koala bear eating a penguin for our third album called: "Joy devours its own children"
I remember doing a lot of prints during my time on the academy, and it was really fun doing them, altho' my humoristic approach wasn't broadly accepted.
After some time I did a series of etches that revolved around bars and coffee places - it's the place where I spent most of my time during that period.
This one was done live in the place, I was sitting, drinking coffee and etching weirdly in the corner.
This one is my best friend thinking about communism while smoking a cigarette.
Unfortunately I couldn't find all of the prints, but I photographed the matrix (the metal board in which the etching is done) of this one.
Anyways, it was really fun doing that sort of stuff, and the best thing is that I kept the original matrix, so I can print it on in the future - after I become famous - and die...
Hope you enjoyed this,
Cheers!
