Alexander Pavlovich Lobanov was a Russian outsider. He was deaf and dumb, and was confined to a mental asylumn by his own family. Lobanov become solitary and became obcessed with drawing self portraits surrounded by images of guns. His later work, which could not find many of online, where self portrait photographs, with drawn scenes.

Its a Blue Monday.

I watched this video for the first time in ages, the other day and found it really inspiring, because the use of hand drawn animation with a mix of well layed-out sketches of shots. This video came out in 1988, a re-release and remix by Quincy Jones. I love the hand drawn animation, by Robert Breer, with some scene sketches by William Wegman, staring his famous Weimaraner dog named Fay Ray doing balancing acts.

Francisco Infante-Arana & Nonna Gorunova

I discovered Francisco Infante-Arana, at a exhibition called 'cold war' at the V&A. His work immediately caught my attention, and was surprised at realising how old the works are. Francisco was born in Russia and moved to Moscow to study, he formed a collective known as the 'Movement Group'. He is seen a one of Russia premier Avant-garde artists.
