A new major collaboration from me and electronic musician Moonscape: his new album The Future We Have All Been Waiting For which is out today and a series of nine drawings I made for it (one per track).
Listen to the music: https://play.spotify.com/album/26j123jxGvGqpJsnAt3dDx
And look at my drawings while you do:http://www.evasilev.com/drawing/#/tfwhabwf/
Congratulations to Daniil Aleksandrov!
I quite like the idea of an equation, because it doesn't point only to art or to science, but has that universal kind of feel for any aspect of life. Artist is of course an equation with his art, meaning that an artist is not balanced if she does not create. But so is everybody else - any person finds its own approach, their own process that balances things out, to get to that cosmic equation that is so much spoken of in Nature and in human mind, and in relation of the two.
Equation, in turn, is a mathematical concept which lends itself quite logically to visual representation. This is a thing to think about, but here's a quick sketch made the other day of some kind of logical construction found in real life:
Basically, two dudes covering the roof of a building - one below, another on the top. The circular motion of the bucket connects the two, and so does their own co-motions. The lower man goes to the car on our right to fill the bucket, the top man goes to the left out of the picture to do the roof work. Then the process repeats.

— Aimée Stewart (@NativesAgency) November 5, 20141. Drawing and graphic design have a lot in common. Therefore, a study in drawing has a big impact on graphic design practice.
2. Drawing is phenomenological, which means that it is capable of telling not only about the subject of drawing, but about the process as well. ->
3. Both the process and the subject are equally important for the drawing.
4. Drawing is rigorous in following its rules, therefore much of drawing is instructed by itself, as well as from the outside.->
5. Involvement into the drawing from the outside should be minimized, so that the inside rules of the drawing were stronger and easier to use.

If you want to succeed as a graphic designer in the digital age, follow these four simple rules (will have to make this as an infographic, as a parody to all those funny infographics online): 1. Always change the colours of your design to the ones opposite to what client has in their branding. 2. Select the most obscure free font you can find online, so that no one else could open your designs without seeing it with fonts switched off. 3. Make the design too big or too small to watch on screen. 4. Most importantly, don't forget to grumble that clients are idiots who don't understand anything!

Movement tracking St Pancras 1, 2 and 3, pencil, 2014Drawings were done standing opposite the exit from the trains on St. Pancras station.
In this experiment I wanted to trace the movement of people coming towards me:
The idea for two following ones was to represent the shape of a moving crowd, to further investigate its visual impact:

For many years now, I haven’t done a single logo. The reason for that may be that every time a client wanted a logo I'd say something silly like ‘If you don’t have identity a logo won’t help you’ – after which the client would walk away. This has not been a very responsible behavior on my side – and I decided to change my mind. Now I think I should do logos, even if I don’t know why I do them, because, as I now believe, if you keep on looking, you will finally find out what is it that you’re looking for.
