Art - Ionut

Being a little modest I might sound a little bit subjective about my works. I know I still have a lot to learn and a lot to work on to get where I want. My biggest dream is to have a my own workshop where I can make t-shirt designs, record cover artworks and also print them. I am still trying to make it come through. But I also realize there is no such thing as perfection so that’s why I am also pleased with what I have done.

To start off I have to say I don’t like artsy artist people ha ha. I am not a artist type of guy, I mean I don’t go by a set of rules when I do an artwork, I just do it the way I want it to look.
I work in Photoshop and Illustrator and my style…don’t know if I have a style. It depends on what I have to design. But we can say I like the grungy and dirty styles he he.
I made an artwork for the band Permanence from the Midlands UK


For Relish Booking from Craiova, Romania


Also the logo for Atelier D.I.Y.


I also like to use my sense of humour, mostly when I design a flyer for a show. I made Henry Rollins look like he is wearing a Gluga Neagra t-shirt.


But I also have some “serious” stuff too


I think that a artwork for a band is very important, because that is the first thing you see, like the logo of the band , or the artwork on their record , or on their shirts and the thing is that is says a lot of what the band plays and you can make like a first impression on what it might sound like.

So yeah this thing called art is important for hardcore, because hardcore is more than music.

I've been doing some artwork for different posters for gigs and I also did the artwork for Pavilionul 32's last 7" split with a band from France. They also used that image for tshirts and patches.


Also a band from Germany, Downfall of Gaia used a work of mine for shirts, back patches and other stuff! Both of the bands are friends of mine and that's how I got to do their work...no paying customers yet:))

I'm from Bucharest and I'm still trying to get in the art university here...this year will be the third time haha! This is why I haven't been doing similar work like that on the blog lately because I'm working on doing what they ask at the university...and that's graphic design.

Besides the artwork I'm also trying to put up a crust/hardcore band called Mediocracy in which I am the vocal and lyricist. But things are pretty hard because we constantly have problems with getting members...for example now we are looking for a drummer...but I hope we can play very soon.

"My artwork is a creative outlet. So no bullshit hidden agenda or subliminal messages for chin-stroking artsy dorks.



Art enhances the product (LP, CD, shirt, whatever...).

When I was a kid growing up, I used to spent hours looking at album-sleeves while listening to the music. To me artwork is an essential aspect to any record. It tells the story, it sucks you in. That's why I despise downloading music.
That's like a microwave dinner. A quick fix. I hate that shit. I need the full package to fully enjoy and experience a record.


My art is about negativity, nihilism and pure violence........And some dolphins and flowers.


The time it takes can range from an hour to a couple of days or even weeks. It all depends on my mood and the time and effort I have to put into it.


Inspiration and ideas? Look around you. Turn on the news. Look over your shoulder and most importantly, look in the fucking mirror."

"I'm an art school dropout, and I also play bass in a band called Final Attack.


I've been doing artwork for the past 6-7 years, mostly for local bands. It's only for the past 3 years that I've been doing this stuff internationally...getting my stuff noticed. At first it was because I was promoting my band and it turns out most of the people I come in contact with are interested in the artwork.


One of the first bands I did something for was Ruiner. I made the Raven t-shirt design. I came in contact with them through myspace. They asked me if i could do designs for them. I made the design but they were not really satisfied with the one i made, so they were going to juggle between my design and another artist's design. Knowing this situation, I sacrificed my band's design and submitted it for Ruiner, and turns out that they love it!


Later on I kept doing stuff for overseas bands, such as; Pulling Teeth, Vanguard, Everybody's Enemy, Grave Maker, Nation Afire, Hang The Bastard just to name a few, also still doing artwork for my band and any other local band from my hometown.


As for my artwork style, I use a range of media, such as photography, photoshop, but I also do hand-drawn illustration. Most of them are depending on my mood or depending on the request of the bands. My artworks are inspired by Jacob Bannon, Linas Garsys, Barf, and the all mighty Pushead."
