SURR INK: identity for own b&w illustrations

It contains just four colours: black, red, blue and white. It's all about me and everything is too symbolically. "My complexes reached such an extent what appeared in my dreams in absolutely different shape up to an aesthetically beautiful and shocking at the same time, after that it was easy to compare the reality with dreams. So dreams changes my life and perception".









Birds

You can read about book's idea and concept here. These illustrations are available to buy. The Rest will be out only in the book in December.





The Birds from the IUCN Red List: educational illustrations for the children's room.
In the design of the children's room, I chose the most unusual and shocking of birds, so children can develop their imagination and notion of birds and nature in whole.
In additional, colorful Elephant Extra Bold word, which i did't use in the end...

For some reasons I must delay the performance of the book. So I decided to upload a preview of "Design of Nature" (ipad-book preview). Meanwhile it will be with the several essays by american students, which is good answer the theme of my book.


"This book will be dedicated to the beauty and strength of nature. The object is to show that nature is the best artist, designer, sculptor, architect etc. To show its multiformity and completeness. And so we must do our best to save nature. Drawing only parts of the birds is a symbolic call to preserve nature in full (most of the birds are taken from the Red Book).

On the other hand, I want to perform my own 'revolution'. Since I could remember my so recent childhood, I have never been attracted to nature. Neither of its aesthetics nor its "school" ideology, which was available in those days to my perception. Nature pictures its self as a boring landscape of "native" spaces, mushrooms under the birch forest with a squirrel. In a word, nothing of nature could make me particularly interested. Both in the real life and in art. Now I have a huge difficulty is not to describe, but at least catch that revolutionary moment in my mind, when nature had a new look for me - a frightening and inspiring. Maybe this so-called revolution is rather standard, and to some degree happens with every child, but for me it's a very important thing.

I' d like to present my book in that way, so people could not only understand but also feel, let it be a desperate attempt, but still try. Indeed, to really understand nature is possible only in that case, if "sense" (perception) of a single person coincides with nature."
