About me

Hello. This is Juri. Solid structure, meet nimble delivery of visual phrasing. Looking forward. A decade in visual grafting under the belt - inspired and driven by the need to make issues clear. From jams with fellow creatives in music, food, fashion and fine arts, to showing off information and bespoke print wares. Just finished a Middlesex BA, to top up my Printer degree. Start up guy - partner at anglorussian.co.uk and a London luxury brand. Newcomer in the CM21 region. The rest is future.

Projects

• MinutesA minute in my sketchbooks, from several hundreds of pages scanned. Recognize drafts of any other projects? Yourself, maybe? It's all in there. Keep your pencils sharp!
• Anglo–Russian culture clubAnglo–Russian culture club. We provide an arc of culture beyond the cliche. Bringing people together, giving talent a stage, presenting eminent Eastern creatives to London. Starting as a collabo of my mum and me, our 'inner circle' now has journalists, translators, actors and other friends to help set the stage. I do the print and web, video edits and sound mastering, interpret, shake hands, pour drinks, improvise business and legal aspects. In collaboration with other cultural institutions of London and elsewhere, we have organised lectures and staged concerts, screened movies and launched books. What began as a living room session is starting into next year with new sponsors, more venues, and an open door to the world.
• ManifestExercises in turning what has been said into how it was done. Lyrics: a piece of the Surrealist Manifesto (Breton) and a John Berger piece on Rietveld. Apologies for the bad archive quality, originals are with a friend now.
• TIIAKAROLIINAPitch for a new launch to a friends jewellery brand.
• Brick Lane postersField trip down my postcode with a sketchbook and phone camera.
• (x) variable zineAn exercise in editorial and copywriting. Part of an anthology by MDX. My 2015 one is here: https://t.co/QLvrB8VzuG - contains politics, chicken.
