By Hand is a series of collectible poetic zines. Classical poetry is being transformed into contemporary art by young illustrators.
Joseph Brodsky becomes a sobbing cat, Marina Tsvetaeva is a Russian saint smoking a cigarette and Boris Pasternak's poems are transformed into a heroic comic book.
The zines were published monthly and were presented in bookstores, museums and galleries in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The complete series includes 31 issues.
We were responsible for design and layout of these zines.
