Brothers Berezutski
A Soviet-poster portrait of the Berezutski brothers for NPLH's Fraternity issue — twin iconography, coal-dust severity, and faces drawn as if they were quarried.
About the Project
Created for NPLH issue 8: Fraternity.
The brief became an excuse to lean hard into Soviet poster language — twins, spirit bears, coal dust, Cyrillic, and faces drawn as if they had been quarried rather than painted.
It treats the Berezutski brothers less as footballers and more as symbolic figures from some harsher graphic mythology. Like most things from this period it was built mostly on the iPad, and my apologies still stand for anyone who can actually read Russian.
Open any figure to inspect surface, print detail, and framing more closely without losing the overall sequence.
Sequence note
The closing plates are intended to read like a print-room pass: object, surface, and image held in sequence rather than treated as isolated uploads.
