Space Crime by Konstantin

on Architecture •February 9th•View Comments

It’s not often we glorify an artist for imitating another but as Picasso once famously said; “Good artists imitate. Great artists steal”. In that essence Konstantin Shalev is only a good artist. Having been influenced heavily by Jared Nickerson, Konstantin’s project titled Space Crime bears heavy resemblance to projects like Daddy Was A Jewel Thief and We Were Made For Fighting. Even though the project involves surreal vectors including an apple with an eye and grenades filled with gooey mess we feel they’re all beautiful. The set also feature the iconic red and blue wayfarers used in the cover of Less Than Zero. Konstantin Shalev can be found on Threadless, Blood Sweat Vector, LastFM and his online shop. There’s not much available to purchase at his shop and we get the feeling he’s abandoned it. If however you’re looking for sloppy sneakers and a skateboard deck without the wheels feel free to check it out.
