Illustration and design for the next Bronnt Industries Kapital album. The album is the score for the Soviet film by Ukrainian director Alexander Dovzhenko called Arsenal from 1929. The film is about the Russian Civil War in 1918 in which the Kiev Arsenal January Uprising of workers aided the besieging Bolshevik army against the Ukrainian national Parliament Central Rada who held legal power in Ukraine at the time.
It’s nice to work on something that didn’t involve cats for a change.
