S T A R __ R E P U B L I C by =DeeJay-Alien  It’s about retrofuturistic republic, kinda USSR in 2112…)))
But not so much about this republic… It’s about my thoughts and emotions for now, wrapped in Dieselpunk-Art-Deco style.
About something personal.

INFLUENCES
Of course.

Sure, Art Deco style and the epoch of 1920-30-40-50s… Stalin’s Empire Style, National-Classicism, American Art Deco…

60-70s USSR with our Gagarin, Space propaganda posters and retrofuturistic cartoons about space. (:

Sure, Leiji matsumoto’s Space Battleship Yamato and Interstella 5555.

Art Nouveau and Mucha’s women.

Quote “tomorrow that never was” (c) #RaypunkWonders… I hope they won’t beat me for writing their quote in my artwork… XD
