I've decided that this series is really about the absurd. As I choose a missle or bomb to depict, I'm looking for some kind of quality to the name that peaks my interest. For example, I started three drawings this past Monday morning, one of them depicts a Russian Medium-range Ship-to-Air Fleet Defence Missile whose name is "Storm", which in turn USA/NATO has given their name "Goblet". So the drawing will depict a storm in a cup. Then there is "Wasserfall" and "Tacit Rainbow", they go together great too. The third drawing depicts Pakistan's medium-range ballistic missile "Ghauri" with its 30-40kT nuclear warhead, did you know that there's a supermodel by the name of Yaseem Ghauri? Well, in the spirit of absurdism, I must say, she looks great alongside serious weaponry!
Archivism? I'll tackle that in the next blog!
