Why Does Herr R. Run Amok? Poster

Poster created for the Yugoslav Drama Theater's production of Why Does Herr R. Run Amok?, a play based on Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Michael Fengler's film of the same name. The play depicts the life of middle class draftsman Herr Raab, who, in an unpredictable violent spell, murders his neighbor, wife, and son, before killing himself. This is the fifth and final poster of the season.

"Small" Success

Sometimes, "big" achievements leave you feeling unfulfilled. On the other hand, sometimes "small" successes—especially when unexpected—can make you feel warm and fuzzy. This is one of those cases.

In their exhibition, Hope to Nope: Graphics and Politics 2008-18, the Design Museum in London included this striking poster by David Tartakover that he created for my Tolerance Traveling Poster Show. This was flattering to me and my project. A month ago, the museum sent along this photograph of the poster in the show. But I didn't know what was written on the wall text under the poster.

Yesterday, unprompted, I received a photo from my Facebook friend Nina Lazic of the caption. When I read the caption, I had one of these "small" success feelings.

The exhibition is open until August 12, 2018.

Boris Bucan Magazine Clip

Croatian poster design legend Boris Bucan sent me this clipping from Croatian magazine.
I don't know which magazine it is, but that is very sweet from him and the writer who mentioned me in the context of Bucan.

Ten Graphic Design Books to Help You Create Images as Impactful as Mirko Ilic’s Art

Skillshare's blog just posted a reading list based on the recommendations in my course, Make Art to Drive Change (which you can view here: http://skl.sh/mirko).
This is just a small sample of books directly related to the lectures.

But of course, I didn't recommend the book about me—I'm not that obnoxious (yet)!

Last Issue of Print Magazine

I just received the new and last issue of Print Magazine. Unfortunately, I am not in it. But thanks to the artwork of Debbie Millman, I'm on it! And in good company. My question is: if Print is dead, and this is the last issue, is my name on a tombstone?
