Bios - Design Walk

Bios featured the work of various Greek designers & artists during the Design Walk event in Athens. I was very happy to take part . Unfortunately, we weren't able to take any decent pictures but it was a really fun weekend and we had the chance to meet lots of great people :P



And a bad quality video (this is NOT my hand :D ):

We have moved into a new office :)

Well, that explains the lack of updates! More updates really soon!

Lifo illustration

Lifo newspaper's latest issue is all about books! I've been asked by Lifo to create a special illustration about my favorite book character. I've always been greatly inspired by Mr Irvine Welsh's "Filth" and created this illustration.

United Nations of Cupco

Luke Temby-Cupco is one of my favorite artists and plush makers! His characters are really unique, funny and evil of course! One day the great Cupco invited 100 of his favorite artists and friends to decorate the Cupco doll template for the United Nations of Cupco show which will be held at the Damien Minton gallery in Sydney in Mid-2008. I was very excited to take part to the United Nations of Cupco project and customise a Cupco doll, giving the unique Yupyland flavour to it :D
So, this is my Cupcodoll, it is leather fabric and I've used acrylics to paint on it. The theme is based on an upcoming super secret very personal and very time-consuming project. But a very fun one! And a very very very! much loved one :)



Visit the United Nations of Cupco website to see the dolls created by some of my favorite artists, including Diego Medina, Tado, Jeremyville, Furi Furi and many many more!

Metal man v2 is here

Metal man is a character originally created by young Dopepope when he was in the 5^th grade. Many years later he invited me and lots of other artists to redraw his Metalman robot guy and collected all the artworks into a book. The project was a great success and now Metalman v2 is here featuring more amazing artworks from many more artists! The Metalman books are available to buy here
