I seem to be working towards becoming the in-house artist for financial giants KPMG these days, with several of my commissions originating from their Prague office.
As their top man celebrated his 60th birthday recently, I decided to render a quick artwork which was presented to him this week.
Every once in a while, I get the opportunity to re-render one of my old illustrations.
A Drug Against War was one of my first sleeves for KMFDM and when I asked the band for a high-res copy of the sleeve, they were only able to supply me with a heavily-pixellated version. So, using Illustrator, I painstakingly reproduced the artwork with clean and minimalist vectors, keeping as close as possible to the original.
I am offering this beautiful A0 canvas print for the special price of 560 euros.
Due to public demand, BRUTE! Propaganda are proud to present their Abraham Lincoln Special Edition canvas print.
Each one of these beautiful full-color illustrations are printed onto medium-weight canvas and glazed before they are stretched and mounted on custom-made wooden frames built in our Prague workshop.
For those who wish to honor this legendary US president in materials as long-lasting as his legacy, the Lincoln Special Edition canvas print is a must for every freedom-lover.
In April of this year, I was contacted by a client with an interesting proposition: to create a piece that accurately described his philosophy of the defence of freedom.
Conceptual roughs for ‘Homeland’.
Over the ensuing weeks and months, and guided by his specific and intricate instructions, I condensed the dynamics of our conversations into a series of roughs. The more successful of these roughs were compiled into the final image which represents the defense of the weak from the predatory aspects of human nature.
This was a complex and challenging commission and one that I’m proud to have completed to the client’s satisfaction.

After my month-long residency at Mad Bar, the owners thought my stuff might work for an advertising hoarding they planned to install at a crossroads near the bar so I offered them this illustration of a party girl which, after a few minor changes, they accepted.
By coincidence, the printers I use was printing it out while I was in there with another job.
The finished article was erected yesterday and I include a photo of the poster..
To view the ad, get yourself down to Ujezd, Mala Strana, Prague 5.
The location is half way between Smichov and Mad Bar itself (on Plaska).
During my long-postponed visit to the UK this month, I came across a number of original artworks.
Stored in air-tight folders and packed into a steel chest, items from the early to late 90’s (including a number of animation frames and storyboards from the two animations I did for KMFDM) came to light as well as a treasure trove of ink originals, sketch books, silkscreens and graphic porn – all in perfect condition.
Discovery of lost 9/11 series.
I will be auctioning many of these rare items on eBay in a month or so, so please keep watching this space.
Driving Man, a pic of mine from back in the 80’s, has just received a makeover and the poster of the new design is now available from BRUTE! Propaganda either on glazed canvas or 250 gram photo stock.
It comes in three sizes: A1, A2 and A3.
