Photography > Plisskën Festival 2012!

Yesterday, I had a great time @ Plisskën Festival 2012! Twelve hours of live music & DJ sets (heading from stage to stage), among friends. Unfortunately, I was tired enough and left before Alan Braxe, Bong-Ra, Kid606 & Joker's performances.

It came as a surprise that my highlights of the festival were from the club stage: College, Drums of Death & Son of Kick, blew my mind!

Stay tuned for Plisskën Festival 2013 (yep, I know some details, but can't tell) :)

News > Lecture for Plissken Festival 2012!

Today 08.05.2012, at noon, I'll give a lecture about my work as a graphic designer for Plissken Festival 2012 (starts this Saturday 12.05.2012. Don't miss!) and Plisskenlab in general.

The lecture is part of the workshop called "the lab" and will be held at EDW, for a private audience of 20 people (sorry, it's already booked). More info, here!

I'm pretty psyched about it, because I love working for the music industry...
I guess that I'll have a blast!

Illustration > "The Shutdown" video game!

My friend Helen Roinioti and me, we are working on a 2D point & click video game that it's called The Shutdown.

The Shutdown is still in a very-early stage of pre-production (we pitch it in the Game Idea competition by HGDA some days ago) but we are really enthusiastic about it.

We made a tumblr site for it, in order to keep it updated as the process goes on...

Feel free to send us your feedback (you can also download the PDF presentation of The Shutdown from there).

Exhibition > Blogoscars 2012 - "Drive"!

Two days ago, I took part in a mini exhibition that was held during the blogoscars 2012 party, at bios, Athens. The winning movie for this year's blogoscars was "Drive" so 5 comic artists/illustrators (including me) were asked to draw an illustration inspired by the movie.

I have to mention that the detail on the jacket I drew is S-I-C-K!!! 
You can buy my sketch for 400 euro (black ink on a A3 paper, 220gsm).
Send me an email at info(at)onemanshowstudio(dot)com for inquiries.

The photos from the exhibition were taken by Ilias Kyriazis.
