Damascus




Back from my little journey from the ancient city. Went there to find some inspiration. It worked!

It was an international project. The owner of one little label Cloudberry Records from Miami Roque Plastilina asked me to make a 7" record jacket for Socialist Leisure Party from London. Keeping in mind I'm from Moscow, I was really exited about this and immediately answered "Yes!"
I was inspired by St. Basil's cathedral these days and made pattern, based on it. This is the result of our international collaboration.

Handmade bag, hand printed wrapping paper and hand painted magnets - looks like perfect Christmas gift. Instead of wasting time doing shopping I prefer to make something out of what I already have. It's faster, cheaper and, well, sometimes looks much better than the things you can buy.

So dark I can't even finish a picture in one day. Had to stop doing it yesterday because of sunset.

Beatrice Alemagna's book from Pangloss book store.

Nice handwritten typography somewhere near the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour.
