SZJZG

2025

SZJZG = IOAFS in Slovenian language. Handpainted sign, 42 × 29,7 cm. I had lots of fun interpreting the sign painters motto for this piece into my almost native(???) Slovene for the @betterletters BLAG Magazine Summer 2025 issue 07. (Thank you Sam for including me!)

My sources of inspiration were a 1920 newspaper masthead from the former Yugoslavia, and lettering on a circa 1943 firefighter’s diploma from Ljubljana. To these I added a colour palette that’s loosely based on sports kits worn by Slovenian teams over the years.
