Oh baby, baby, It's a wired world...

Digital Art
Isn't that right? We are living in a wired world. No matter how wireless technologies have developed, every room in our homes has at least something like 8 plugs. I have 24 in my office. So many cables, so many lines that transfer electricity and data. I am amazed by this networked, wired world. 
In this set of work I have collected 6 illustrations created for 5 clients during the last 2 years. All of them have to do with the relationship between the network and the human body and spirit. Even the lion one is mainly metaphoric. Hope you like them.
THE REGGAE HALL OF FAME: The Conquering Lion.
The Reggae Hall of Fame Foundation is a cultural and charity initiative funded by the Jamaican American designer Mike Thompson together with Greek designer and blogger Maria Papaefstathiou to promote Jamaican music and to help education in Jamaica.
I have the honor to serve as permenent member of the jury for their International Reggae Poster Contest. To promote the work of the initiative I have designed this Rastafari Lion made out of wires.
