I created a fake communication campaign mixing the codes of advertising and the clichés of the end-of-the-world annunciators with a good dose of black humor. Ironic, offbeat and striking, this series of fake posters makes us challenge our certainties and forces us to look with honesty at our way of life and consuming habits.
In a world ruled by unbridled capitalism, and invaded by pervasive advertising, greenwashing and climate skeptics, this project also questions our passivity facing the major crisis threatening our planet and our way of life.
This project can also be summarized in a few words: We’re screwed anyway, so why not?

Tape Installation at Wiretap Brewing in Los Angeles: Dimensionalizing the Corner, 2018 by artist, Darel Carey
Bending space with perception: Line sequences in varied configurations create an illusion of dimension. I call this Dimensionalization. Two dimensions can be perceived as three, and vice versa.

In this DIY tutorial, we will show you useful ways how to reuse plastic bottles and make easy crafts for your home. The video consists of 16 simple life hacks that you can do yourself:
1. Cloud lamp made from a plastic bottle. Just fill it with a LED strip, apply glue all over the bottle and stick it with cotton wool.
2. Simple plastic bottle trick to use it as egg yolk separator
3. Make a phone charger holder from a used plastic shampoo bottle by cutting it and making a hole for a cord with a utility knife. To decorate it simply use colorful tapes.
4. Salt/pepper shaker made from two plastic bottle tops, use your utility knife to cut them off. Then glue them together and make holes with a drill in bottle caps for your salt/pepper.
5. Use plastic bottles to make a toothbrush holder. Cut the top and bottom parts of the bottle, then simply glue them together and make several holes to insert bottlenecks for your toothbrushes.
6. Make a cozy rope lamp by cutting the upper half of a plastic bottle, cover it in PVA glue and use a colorful rope to wrap around for decoration. Cut the bottleneck to insert a light bulb (use light bulbs that don’t produce heat!).
7. A simple package for your small gifts made from the middle part of a plastic bottle, just flatten it out, bend the edges and don’t forget to tie a ribbon!
8 Make a simple tree painting by using the bottom part of a plastic bottle as a leaf stamp. Simply cover the bottom with acrylic paint and stamp it on a sheet of paper.
9. Use an old plastic shampoo bottle to make a dish sponge holder, simply by cutting out part of the bottle and using a candle (or any other heat source) to bend it so it would fit over your tap.
10. Make a rain protector for your cord extender simply by using a plastic bottle and cutting off the bottom part using a box cutter so your cord extender would fit in.
11. A small gift package for candy using two plastic bottles. Simply cut out the middle parts of the bottles, bend them into squares and put one over the another. Don’t forget the ribbon for decoration!
12. Use the bottom part of a plastic bottle to create this simple flower pot. Apply some acrylic paint and/or marker to decorate it with the design of your choice!
13. Make a candle holder from two plastic bottles by cutting one bottleneck longer for the base and a shorter one to insert your candle. Then simply glue them together.
14. A flower pot made by simply cutting the top of a plastic bottle with a box cutter, then cut from the top vertically to make decorative strips. Unfold the strips back and interlace them with each other. Use acrylic paint to decorate in your own way!
15. A pencil holder for your kids made from an empty old shampoo bottle. To make this just cut out the shape with a pair of scissors, then glue decorations made from paper to create your own character design!
16. Use a plastic bottle to make a holder for your thread. Just cut the bottom part of the bottle, then make a hole the size of a bottle cap. Cut half of the bottle from bottom vertically and insert your thread so that the end comes out from the bottleneck.

Finding smooth rocks are the hardest thing about my art. San Francisco doesn’t have a lot of them:)
I often use syringes for 3D effect.
Easter eggs are very special to me, part of my Ukrainian culture.
Eggs are so tricky to make. I have smudged so many of them already.

We’ve seen many recreations of famous artwork over the last couple of years, each time breathing new life into all-too-familiar landscapes. The purpose of each recreation differs from one another, bringing out the details and ideas one might not have noticed before. The team behind ELLE Brasil decided to pay a tribute to the most famous pieces of artwork with a statement that art is the antidote to negativity in life.
The magazine invited world famous Brazillian figures to help them recreate the art pieces. They chose actress Sonia Braga to replicate the famous smile of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa with a recreation that represents timeless beauty. The gentle femininity in Sandro Botticelli’s Birth Of Venus was embodied by transgender model Lea T. Love was captured in Gustav Klimt’s recreation of The Kiss with actors Tais Araujo and Lázaro Ramos holding one another all wrapped up in gold. The magazine turned the mood of Edvard Munch’s The Scream upside down by letting Brazilian theater legend José Celso Martinez Corrêa scream of joy rather than fear. The picture of composer Caetano Veloso that pays homage to David Hockney’s Joiners symbolizes the movement and perspective that art brings to life.
Scroll down to see the side-by-side comparisons of the famous originals and the beautiful covers of the magazine, which hits the stands the coming Monday.

For the first time, I decided to go for inktober and complete it by sticking to the prompts list. It’s been fun yet a very challenging month, especially trying to do a drawing every day. I spent long times thinking what to do before inking it.
I’m sure one will find at least one attractive subject among these, hope you all enjoy!
