Reggae Hall of Fame: The Conquering Lion
Advertising illustrations using wires and cables as brush strokes.
Isn't that right? We are living in a weird world. No matter how wireless technologies have developed, every room in our homes has at least something like 8 plugs. I have 24 in my office, and there are so many cables, so many lines that transfer electricity and data. I am amazed by this networked, wired world.
In this set of work, I have collected 6 illustrations created for 5 clients during the last 2 years. All of them concern the relationship between the network and the human body and spirit. Even the lion one is mainly metaphoric. Hope you like them.
THE REGGAE HALL OF FAME: The Conquering Lion.
The Reggae Hall of Fame Foundation is a cultural and charitable initiative funded by the Jamaican American designer Mike Thompson and the Greek entrepreneur Maria Papaefstathiou to promote Jamaican music and support education in Jamaica.
I have the honor to serve as a permanent member of the jury for their International Reggae Poster Contest. To promote the initiative's work, I have designed this Rastafari Lion in wire.
