Timur Salikhov design

StPete based art director Timur Salikhov shares some really great examples of graphic design and branding - fresh, clean and striking.

Napalm

Tough Russian designers from NAPALM collab create design concept that stuck in head after and forever. Check their recent projects like "Bang-bang" door-knob in a form of classic gun Makarov or White table landed right from space. I believe anyone can find a project for his own taste.

I think most of you knows what's Mafia card game and I believe a majority played it more than once. Russian illustrator Dima Je comes up with NEP-styled cards with awesome character design and simple colouring with black and red...check it out.

Vectors in Plywood by Aske Sicksystems

Russian illustrator and artist Aske Sicksystems synthesizes elements of Soviet era cubism, constructivism and futurism through vector art into semi-sculptural works of art. His latest project is a "Sneaker Head," so to speak: a cross between a Nike Air Force 1 Duckboot and a wolf's head, executed as a painted plywood artwork for the Nike Store Moscow.

Also check another Aske's plywood installation created for International Festival of Contemporary Music and Media Arts MIGZ.

Street Art by Pavel 183 (R.I.P. boy)

Russian based street art master Pavel 183 brakes the myths of graffiti vandalism by revealing outdoors installations and modifications of post-urban suburbs of our capital. His works a full of social less politic sense and can be valued as an equal act of contemporary art and most of times his stuff is cooler then we see in modern museums around the world.
