American Illustration 45 Annual

 I am excited to let you know that two of my illustrations were selected to appear in the prestigious American Illustration 45 annual. From 6,387 entries, the jury selected just 432 images.

Many thanks to Mark Helfin and the American Illustration 45 jury.

One pictured above, is my poster illustration for the play Hedda Gabler by Henrik Ibsen, created for JDP-Yugoslav Drama Theater in Belgrade, Serbia.

The other pictured below, is my poster illustration for the play Eldorado by Marius von Mayenburg, also created for JDP-Yugoslav Drama Theater.

Eldorado in the name of western democracy

Here are a few photos of the JDP-Yugoslav Drama Theater's lobby with my poster for the play "Eldorado" by Marius von Mayenburg.

 

It's unfortunately good timing for this play.

 

The play starts, as the smoke rises from another city saved by coalition bombs, with a graphic account of a city where the government quarter is in ruins, refugees are confined to the sports stadium and animals have fled the bombed-out zoo. But although devastation for the majority becomes an investment opportunity for the minority, the play deals with the mental disintegration that accompanies urban disaster. Anton, an estate agent seeking to sell a surviving complex to his rich mother-in-law, becomes progressively more unhinged. 

 

Behind the play lies an implicit question: how do we go on living when unspeakable crimes are being committed in the name of western democracy?

My New Poster Design for JDP-Yugoslav Drama Theater

I am pleased to share my new poster design and illustration for the play "Eldorado" by Marius von Mayenburg for JDP-Yugoslav Drama Theater in Belgrade, Serbia.

The play starts, as the smoke rises from another city saved by coalition bombs, with a graphic account of a city where the government quarter is in ruins, refugees are confined to the sports stadium and animals have fled the bombed-out zoo. But although devastation for the majority becomes an investment opportunity for the minority, the play deals with the mental disintegration that accompanies urban disaster. Anton, an estate agent seeking to sell a surviving complex to his rich mother-in-law, becomes progressively more unhinged. 

Behind the play lies an implicit question: how do we go on living when unspeakable crimes are being committed in the name of Western democracy?

Here below, you can see my poster designs from the last eight seasons for JDP-Yugoslav Drama Theater. Some of the seasons had fewer shows due to Covid. For every season of JDP, I create a slightly different look.

This season, designing the posters, I try to emphasize diagonal composition and dark, realistic illustrations. It seems it's not only appropriate for the subjects of the plays, but also appropriate for the times we are currently living in.
