Description: Data centers have grown fat on devouring your personal data, drinking your environment's water, and consuming untold amounts of information across the internet. Why not even the score a little? Eat your local data center. (Or not, they're probably full of toxic heavy metals or worse, tbh.) Check out more of my art and products at https://spacedoglaika.com/
Description: 'Field-tested abroad, home-deployed' by default: the 'imperial boomerang' is what happens when occupation strategies used on the other side of the world return home as domestic policing tactics. "Counter-insurgency" tactics used in military deployments are now being used as "anti-riot" tactics in own our towns. Check out more of my art and products at https://spacedoglaika.com/
Description: This design is a faithful restoration of a 1921 Bolshevik propaganda poster, originally attributed to Vladimir Kozlinskii, that's been restored, recolored, remastered, and redrawn by hand in order to preserve this important piece of history. The text translates to: "The dead of the Paris Commune have risen again under the red banner of the Soviets!” In essence, the artwork claims that the defeated revolutionaries of Paris Commune of 1871 have been vindicated by the October Revolution, and that the martyrs live on through the new Soviet Union.

Description: The poster that this design was originally restored from was created in 1967, produced for the Soviet Union’s 50th anniversary of 1917. This striking red-and-black Soviet poster, designed in 1967 by V. Kalensky, stages the revolution as a living command rather than a past event: a forward-pointing figure fills the frame while the slogan surges behind him in turbulent lettering, turning words into atmosphere and momentum. The text reads: “Power to the Soviets! Peace to the Peoples! Land to the Peasants!” This design has been carefully restored by hand in order to preserve this important piece of history.

Description: Despite being produced in the 1920's, the speculative depiction of what a future war could look like is reminiscient of science-fiction that wouldn't be produced until decades later. I have carefully redrawn, recolored, and restored this design by hand in order to preserve this interesting piece of early Soviet and Azerbaijani artistic and geopolitical history. The large title reads: "Gələcək müharibələrin dəhşəti" or "The Horror (terror / nightmare) of Future Wars." In the white box at the top-right, there’s a slogan that roughly correlates to "Workers of the world, unite!" Check out more of my art and products at https://spacedoglaika.com/

I have carefully redrawn, recolored, and refinished this work of art by hand in order to preserve this interesting piece of history. The text reads: “Ah, have we been sold out?! Ah, have we been deceived?!” Check out more of my art and products at https://spacedoglaika.com/

Description: As we come marching, marching, in the beauty of the day, A million darkened kitchens, a thousand mill-lofts gray Are touched with all the radiance that a sudden sun discloses, For the people hear us singing, "Bread and Roses, Bread and Roses." Yes, it is Bread we fight for—but we fight for Roses, too. A design for one of my favorite protest songs. Check out more of my art and products at https://spacedoglaika.com/
Description: Wear safety glasses at work! This design comes from a 1978 Soviet workplace safety propaganda poster encouraging workers to wear safety glasses. Although workplace safety posters were very common throughout the entire history of the Soviet Union, from the mid-late 1970's onward, safety posters start to take on more of a whimsical cartoon style. I have carefully restored this design by hand by redrawing, recoloring, refinishing, and translating it in order to preserve this important (if not silly) piece of history.

Description: This is a rare poster from the Chinese Cultural Revolution, which seems to be celebrating the 1966 Wuhan Workers Rebel Army defeating counter-revolutionaries and capitalists. This poster obscurity may be due its relation to the 1967 Wuhan Incident, where two communist factions (The Million Heroes and Wuhan Workers' General Headquarters) waged an armed conflict with each other, both hoping to gain the support of the central authorities in Beijing. This sign of internal conflict and civil strife within China at the time, may have resulted in this poster being considered rather controversial, given that it is celebrating conflict within the party. The incident represented a turning point in the Cultural Revolution, as it lead to major concerns
