Gifted Russian illustrator Anton Marrast recently finished few new artworks that illustrate Gabriel Garcia Marquez stories. What I prefer in Anton's works is a perfect sense of surreal art mixed with deep thoughts of a subject and polished with awesome skills in digital techniques. We follow Anton's works since old times and were really happy to collaborate with him for our iPad Mag Zero last year. We also featured Anton works at OFFF 2011 (pity we will miss OFFF 2012 that happens in next two weeks).
Original Prints, T-shirts and other goodies are available for purchase on Anton's online store http://society6.com/Marrast
