Soviet TV cameramen - the invisible hippies

I came across a bunch of old Soviet photos - the making of Soviet TV. And - wow! - I always knew, TV cameramen are chic and hip, BUT: how did they manage to do it under Soviet regime? they look much cooler than all the rest. Check'em out!

more subway people


I thank all my models for joining this session. Some of them never noticed anything, others got suspicious, but didn't mind anyway. I drew about a hundred passengers by now, and - strangely - none ever objected.

о преемственности

 мне кажется, правящий клан губит жадность. Ну сколько надо денег человеку -неужели мало уже нахапано рабским трудом? Сотни миллионов, десятки миллиардов - а надо еще и еще, все контролируем, этот нам откатывает, здесь нам должны... Уж скоро в гроб пора, сколько тех лет осталось? Ну 10-15-20. Ни прожрать эти деньги, ни просрать уже не успеют. Что за упыри непонятные?  Или детям хотят завещать - так им все равно впрок не идет никогда. Даже клещ или там пиявка, насосавшись, отваливает - а эти нет, не хотят.

Subway sketches

 я стал рисовать в метро, потому что иначе совсем нет времени. главное выбрать людей, которые не выходят на следующей станции и не очень вертятся
   
they are pencil drawings, but photoshopped with added contrast, they look like ink. Anyway

Единая Россия - знакомое


Аэропорт Новосибирска, весь засыпанный снегом. Плакат Единой России: кругом колосятся поля. Надпись на плакате: "Нам есть чем гордиться. Единая Россия".  Я бы написал по-другому: "Единая Россия: всегда на теплом месте."

At last! Coca-Cola ad in the Kremlin!

Now here it goes, Coca-Cola ad on the Kremlin wall! It was so natural for it to be there, I just wonder why they took so long :)

Not the real Kremlin, of course. Ice sculpture from Novosibirsk. Cool place in winter.
I went there on business a couple of weeks ago. What can I say? You can ski to almost any place in the city - there's so much snow. It was just -15 degrees, we were lucky to catch a few warm days.

Deep forest providers

This is the office of my internet provider. It took me an hour to find them, though I had the address. Because actually they are in the forest. I had to go looking for them, because they couldn't connect the internet for 5 weeks!

Basement studio

Visited my friends the other day. They are sculptors and work in a basement studio of the institute, they just graduated from. Looks like the whole place used to be a bomb shelter. Rather cold inside, and the room is crammed with plaster models they did (or others, who had been there earlier)
       
yeah, the eagle wasn't actually their fancy, but because they take orders, clients sometimes have bizzare ideas. Some of these clay models are for a chocolate factory. So, one guy wanted a chocolate head of city mayor (did they eventually eat it? cannibals! that was for the mayor's birthday). Another one ordered a figure of the president - and the president's dog, too.

even more stuff from the old days :)

  
with the first one, I had an idea to draw these guerillas dying underground, with huge fugures walking above them - but ultimately I had difficulty finding the model (kinda difficult to draw yourself at such an angle - you have to use a big mirror lying on the ground) - and also stuffing the figures in the remaining space proved next to impossible. So I dropped the drawing at this stage. And the second one should be Lenin singing karaoke in a Berlin pub (the guy drinking coffee is Engels, of course. I don't care if time doesn't match or if they don't look like themselves - one mismatch at a time, please :)

Голосовать: за кого из двух

По оценке последнего из обнародованных до выборов опроса "Левада-центра", рейтинг единороссов составляет 67 процентов, коммунистов — 14 процентов. Остальные партии, по данным социологов, не преодолевают 7-процентный барьер: ЛДПР (6 процентов), "Справедливая Россия" (5 процентов), "Яблоко" (2 процента), СПС (1 процент).
 
ну может и не самый новый флэшмоб, зато классный :)
