Degree Show Poster

2010-04-24T14:08:00.003+01:00

I haven't updated for a long time, that is because I am in the final part of my degree and it is pretty hectic. When it is done in the summer I am making a proper website with a proper portfolio.

This is a collaboration A2 poster with Edgars Zvirgzdiņš. It is for the degree show of the art and media faculty we are on. We made a typeface out of objects and materials relating to the faculty.

Minimal Kidz vinyl covers

2009-12-04T13:08:00.007Z

I am doing a series of vinyl covers for the minimal techno label Minimal Kidz.
The first one is a remix of Booka Shade's tune Body Language.

This is the front

See that woman mooning that deer? That's body language right there.

This is the back

The idea is that if you collect all of the releases, you get to see the number like this

Soon in a DJ booth near you.

Comissioned stencils

2009-10-03T17:00:00.005+01:00

Commissioned work at Zita, an independent cinema in Stockholm, Sweden
Portraits of the main characters of Aki Kaurismäki´s film Varjoja Paratiisissä (Shadows in Paradise)

"In gray, class-conscious Helsinki, Nikander is a stoic, solitary garbage man. Cigarettes, coffee, bingo games, and English lessons border his circumscribed life. There are few words, no smiles, and no laughter. Violence and the threat of violence seem close at hand. Ilona, a supermarket clerk who frequently loses her job, bandages Nikander's hand one evening; later he gets her out of a jam, and they begin an on-again off-again relationship. "Why do I keep losing?," Nikander asks his co-worker, Melartin, a man Nikander met in jail and helped get a job."
