Igor Kordej

I've seen recently some beautiful comics drawings by Igor Kordej. Despite knowing him since he was 16 years old, and working together for many years, I discovered that I don't have any of his original artworks. That is why I immediately acquired these two original pages from his comics "Soldier X" Issue 7 which he created for Marvel Comics.

Here is a picture of the proud owner.

Thoughts on Democracy

Thoughts on Democracy: Freedom to Vote 2016
at The Wolfsonian-FIU

"Miami Beach, FL – August 25, 2016 – The Wolfsonian invited members and VIPs to get political at a VIP sneak peek summer viewing party for Thoughts on Democracy: Freedom to Vote 2016, featuring a first glance at nighttime projections on The Wolfsonian’s building from the chic vantage point of Washington Park Hotel’s rooftop terrace. The evening kicked off at the museum with new poster commissions by contemporary designers Mirko Ilić, Oliver Munday, Paul Sahre, and Bonnie Siegler: our four graphic artists who each tackled the realities and challenges of the American voting process, from voter ID laws to the daunting lines that keep us from casting our ballots."
