EDIT 07.06.2021: I updated the file a bit. Reduced the file size considerably and made it more to scale. I’ve been working on my own passion projects for a while now. Like making my own guitar effect pedals, and spending some more time on my retro gaming collection. Sadly my illustration work and such is […]
So today is St. Martins day. Or, as we in Maribor call it, the “Styrian New Year”. Why do we call it that? Well around here, St. Martin is the patron of Wine making.

Intro It’a been a while since I’ve actually written this and was basically contemplating not posting this because the post is kind of weird and only semi related to my other posts. Also it gets kind of weird at a certain point so bare with me :). I applied for a job that was basically […]

Drew Struzan is one of the the biggest names in Hollywood. He’s not an actor though, he’s an illustrator and painter. His poster art is regarded as some of the best in the world and for good reason. His posters are awesome! Sadly they are not as common these days since digital poster designs have […]
