“Adideath“

Linocut, 12x18 cm

The name refers to the cult brand of the Russian underground subculture “gopniki”, mixed with the "death". A typical gopnik's party involved dancing on a floor covered with cigarette butts and empty jars of cheap alcohol.

In this work, the dancing figures stand in a circle, their angular legs forming a jagged silhouette. It is also a kind of figure of something light, littered with the junk of bacchanalia, trampled into the dirty floor of a suburban club or a gym.

And because all that light has been broken and overthrown, the gopniki themselves are, in fact, already spiritually dead. They have no hope, and their whole life is just an incessant mocking dance on ideals

Another one linocut of my previous CG image of an elf.

I made a linocut based on my drawing of a dwarf. This is still a small trial edition of eight copies.

The watch of Cú Chulainn

I wanted to draw this outstanding Irish hero for a long time. But since I don't have enough skill to draw his famous battle frenzy, he is still presented in a quiet state, keeping Ulster borders.

I really like linocut, so I decided to try to imitate this wonderful technique in digital.
