Thanx to New Masters of Poster Design 2, I discovered the work of Vladimir Snegotskiy and he advices me to take a look at Denis' work. I take this opportunity to tahnk him a lot for this discovery.That kind of story is probably the best way to explore the variety of rock posters artists. I shouldn't be giving you my tricks, but, after all, you are, dear readers, the reason why I try to explore this world so deeply. By the way, une great great thanx to Denis for his time and answers.
Young Legionnaire, Rinoa, Rosetta at the moment
2.Can you tell us more about yourself, who are you, where are you from, what do you do?
My name is Denis Rekun, I live and study in Moscow, I am a freelance disainer for about 6 years already
3.When did you start drawing?
As
far as I can remember myself. As a child, I was copying images from
books, later started drawing everything that comes to my head.
4.Did you follow any course or did you improve by drawing in the margins of your schoolbooks?
As far as I remember, I was constantly busy drawing: during daytime in my
notebooks and in the evenings I was attending drawing courses.
At this time, art is more like a favourite thing to do, a lifestyle and less it is moneymaker.
6.Are you collaborating with magazines/fanzines, regularly?
Not yet
7-Where does your
influence come from? Is there any artists/graphists
you particularly like,
what are your influences?
.
It's
cliche to say, but we take inspiration from almost everything. Our
favorites are film and music. But we will often times take inspiration
from other artists we admire of just simply from life experiences?
There
are lots of artists that influenced my vision and style, but I can't
highlight any particular one, 'cause on a different stage of life I
liked different things and tried all kind of styles and techniques
possible.
The
first thing to do is to
imagine the future piece in details. You should see it clearly, only
then you give it material form. I used to draw without having a concrete
detailed view on what it's going to be at the end, of course it takes
longer time to finish the piece, but sometimes it is the only way.
9.Do you do everything by hand or on computer?
Usually the first sketch is by hand, for me it is easier.
10.How long does it take you to do a poster?
About
2 or 3 days, but sometimes it can take even longer as I my rethink the
idea and start all over again even though the work was almost ready.
11.You
have a very distinctive style, are you doing only what you feel like or
if tomorrow somebody asks you an oil painting with horses running out
of water with a sunset backdrop, is it a problem or are you up for it ?
12.For which band would you love to work?
I
have already worked with amount of different bands, but my favourite
pieces belong to such bands as Rollercoaster, which are my good friends
by the way; then lots of posters for the Booking Machine Agency and one
of the latest works for General Lee band from France.
13.For which band would you love to work??
Rollercoaster
14.Do you choose the artists yourself?
Of
course, it is very important! If I like the music, it brings more
inspiration and the artpiece turns into something much more than the
average image.
To achieve harmony in colour and composition so the picture becomes
holistic.
16.Do you think you are part of a "Graphic Scene", if so who else ?
I'd say yes. Anyway it is interesting for me to follow how poster design develop and turn into independent art form.
17.A bit of self-promotion, take advantage of it, it's free, where can we see your work , on the web or in real life?
You can find me and check on my work here: vk.com/rekun_art , www.facebook.com/Denis.Rekun
18.The best praise you received lately?
19.What can we wish you for the future?
draw. draw more!
