Homer's ink

У Гомера иссякли чернила, Когда он сочинял про Ахилла. И сказал он тогда, Вовсе то не беда: Ведь я слеп – ну зачем мне чернила!

А. Дубровский, 2011

Homer ran out of ink when he was writing about Achilles. But he said: "This is no trouble - as I'm a blind man anyway!"(makeshift translation of A. Dubrovski's poem).

Socrates' last beverage

Знаменитый философ Сократ Был любого умней во сто крат. И за это народ (Горсть углей ему рот!) Повелел, чтобы умер Сократ.

А. Дубровский, 2011

Раздражение народа от поучений пытавшегося сделать его лучше Сократа вылилось в смертный приговор философу, по которому тот должен был выпить яд цикуты.

Prominent philosopher Socrates was smrter than anyone else. Because of that people ordered Socrates to die. (makeshift translation of A. Dubrovski's poem).

Salto logo and my newspaper appearance

I made some work for the Salto band today - a logo and a business card. They're playing some great trip-hop, folk, jazzy and jungle tunes:

This is funny and to the subject, there was an article about them the other day in The Moscow News, announcing their next gig in ArteFAQ, and the photo used on the website is one of their old ones, two years ago perhaps, with their (extremely talented!!!) singer Eva on the foreground and me hanging about in the background with my small keyboard (my short moment of glory!).
