Vis Com: Persons of Note


As Lesya's spirit of keeping Ukrainian culture alive is relevant now, what with Putin trying to reform the russian Empire and all, I started playing with the idea of a modern, punk version of Lesya. Still keeping key elements like the braids, but twisting it into a mohawk style. 




I started doing some experiments with photocopies and collage - to give a really DIY punk looking effect - I think if I had given myself more time to experiment with this style I would have pursued it further. I wasn't all that fond of anything I made so I decided against using that style in my final images.



I had some wacky ideas including a Lesya Ukrainka inspired pussy riot balaclava, but these were perhaps the worst drawings of my career.
Also I made a bear from Putin faces, this was just horrifying.
