@Robertbrunoill NFL Super Bowl XLVII Illustration is ILL!

Look what we found for today’s Super Bowl fans. Meet Robert Bruno, a freelance artist from Brooklyn, New York. His artwork, shown below, showcases key players for Super Bowl XLVII in the ill-est way!

Robert presents us with two thrilling illustrations, one of Baltimore’s Ravens and the other of the San Fransisco 49er’s. With each illustration charged with the intensity we know and expect of the Super Bowl, any fan of either team would be quite lucky to own one these. Whether you are a fan of football or not, you must admit, Robert’s work is impressive. Find more of Robert Bruno’s work here: www.behance.net/rbrunoillustration or www.robertbrunoillustration.com/

Thumb through the My Alphabet: Petros Varnava

At some point in our lives, whether it was in grade school or via your facebook feed, many of us have been asked to describe ourselves using only the letters of your name.  If you have a long uniquely spelled name or one distinctive to your culture, devising a  acronym fit to describe the very things that embody your very essence, can be a bit challenging.

Graphic design artist,Petros Varnava conducted a personal survey to discover what people thought of him. This led to an  interesting concept of using typography made of his finger prints and his illustrations to share  his findings. Instead of using his name, he used letters A to Z.

He concluded:

Identity is something that can be shifted.

However it cannot be changed.

AfroPunk is considered a life style. The people who choose to physically identify with movement also live it in their everyday lives; they attend the events and concerts, spreading their message and experiences everywhere that they go. They are not “fashion-punks.”

A page from IDENTITY: Vito Acconci

The series of photographs were done in collaboration with photographer, Emma Mead and performance artist and dancer, Shay Bares.  We aimed to capture not only Acconci’s signature performance art stills, but to invoke one of the most important moments for this artist: when he realized his body was the most vital medium to articulate the gravity of his artistic instincts and conversations.

Dekit Magazine Releases Spring Issue IDENTITY(Lite)

We present to you our Spring issue,  IDENTITY.

 

This issue looks at the materiality of Identity and how it takes shape in Art, Fashion, Style, and even gender.   We can hide behind it and create a shield; decorate it, glitter and sparkle it in order to reveal its translucency and invite the world inside; or materialize it, in order to transform the world around us.

ISSUE#2

Our second issue looks at the materiality of Identity and how it takes shape in Art, Fashion, Style, and even gender. We can hide behind it and create a shield; decorate it, glitter and sparkle it in order to reveal its translucency and invite the world inside; or materialize it, in order to transform the world around us.

ISSUE#1

Dekit’s Winter and Debut issue was designed to open up the question, “What does it mean to be human?” as an experiential conversation between us, our contributing artist and our readers. The different sections created segments or fragments that can be nuanced together to create a larger picture and larger dialogue of understanding what the core ideals of being human is about.
