Some useful protest art

Founder Stefan Schuch, a Berkeley resident and longtime brand designer, who has worked with Apple, Google and other companies, launched Smolotov (which currently just sells the bags) soon after the presidential election. He had a little bit of time between clients, and “just for fun” designed a p**p bag illustrated with the face of President Trump. He built a website for the brand full of tongue-in-cheek copy, poking fun not just at the new president, but the entirety of American politics.

“You pick up the dog waste, you turn it inside out, and all of a sudden you see this orange-faced goon on your bag,” said Schuch. “And then you just take it and you chuck it in the trash. And it just feels so good. It’s like this small, meaningless act of resistance.”

Mastering the Void: How George Bokhua Redefined Negative Space.

George Bokhua is a world-renowned graphic designer and logo specialist based in Tbilisi, Georgia, celebrated for his mastery of minimalism and negative space. Over a career spanning nearly two decades, he has cultivated a signature style that prioritises clean lines, monochromatic palettes, and geometric precision. His work often utilizes gridding techniques and the golden ratio to create marks that are as mathematically balanced as they are visually striking. Bokhua has collaborated with major global brands, including Disney, New Balance, and the NFL, while also sharing his expertise through highly popular Skillshare courses and his book, Principles of Logo Design.

Bokhua is a self-taught artist who initially found his passion through sketching and manual drafting. He remains deeply connected to his roots in Georgia, where he operates his eponymous studio. Known for his disciplined approach, he often shares his process of moving from hand-drawn sketches on tracing paper to digital refinement. Outside of his professional design work, he is a dedicated educator who uses social media to mentor the next generation of designers, emphasizing that great design is found in what you take away rather than what you add.
