BROKEN FINGAZ & MIKE GIANT
BROKEN FINGAZ
Broken Fingaz are a world-renowned psych-pop collective from Haifa, Israel. Since their founding in 2001, its members Unga, Tant and Deso have worked prolifically on the international art scene, with a practice that includes to animation, installation, painting, murals, graffiti and graphic design.
Using bold lines and acid pop colours, Broken Fingaz Crew’s work visually alludes to ‘80s comic book illustrations and pulp horror. Exploring two of art history’s oldest themes – sex and death – the BFC’s humorous, controversial and often sexually explicit imagery contemplates notions of the abject through a confrontation with the baseness of humanity and its suppressed desires. Bodily dismemberment, mutilated limbs and skeletons represent not only death, but the need to understand the physical body and the unseen side of our corporeality.

TATTOO SHEETS
TATTOO SHEETS
Tattoos have been my main source of inspiration for my illustrations since day one. I could relate the most to this style: its’ boldness, precision, impact, colours, content… For every project this is my first source of inspiration, my first go-to research. It gets me motivated and confident to make work of my own.
In this case I was looking at what is called “tattoo sheets”. They are pages filled with random illustrations usually revolving the same theme. I was looking at these because I wanted to create something similar about my mum as a starting point. I wanted to create random elements, illustrations, that I could play around with and push further, create something out of.

MORE RESEARCH
Although I had already done much research I still kept going back and forth to this research whilst making work and also looking at new sources such the movie titles of the movie “Grease”, a favourite of mine. I chose to look at these because I think the illustratiojns are brilliant, I absolutely love the lettering and I think it’s a great way of presenting characters and I thought it was something I could in my novel. I also looked at a collaboration comic of Robert Crumb and Harvey Pekar, a couple of “Mome” comics which are comics anthology published by Fantagraphics Books and “Kafka” another comic book by R. Crumb.

Here are some of the illustrations that stood out to me whilst doing some research and which I thought would help me in my own process, details I thought I could use or would show me how to successfully create an ambience, reflect a mood, set a scene. See the notes highlighted in yellow.

THE WAY OF THE WARRIOR
//3RD DESIGNS//
Inspired by the Samurais and their 7 life virtues, as well as something called “Bushido” which translates to “The Way/Moral of The Warrior” which is what mainly inspired me in my project and pushed it forward.
I made a background using typography listing the Samurais 7 life virtues. And again played around with the elements until finding the perfect fit.
