My name is Anton 'Paperdaemon' Myrzin and I'm an amateur artist from Russia. Actually, I'm an ecologist and power plant engineer by education with some 7.5 years of working experience.
In my native country I got prosecuted by political charges — as Russian authorities opened a criminal case against me in Dec 11, 2014, because I took part in the Ukrainian patriotic poster exhibition in Kyiv, which was held from Nov 28, 2014 till Dec 5, 2014 by M17 Contemporary Art Center. And I even haven't been to Kyiv for that, as I passed my posters to the exhibition contest organisers beforehand via Internet in Sep-Oct 2014.
Later on, due to the numerous life threats by phone calls and text messages, coming from the ordinary Russian pro-Putin activists, as well as from Russian authorities, that appeared at large soon after the exhibition in Kyiv was over, I made my decision to escape. Also my personal information, including my home address and phone, was widely exposed on the Internet by haters and trolls. Being aware of the fact, that I must escape Russia as soon as possible, I had to move to Ukraine rapidly on the 7th of December, 2014 with only my internal (not foreign) passport, while it was possible by the end of 2014, because in Russia I was denied to get my foreign passport for years (possibly, for my political views). So, Ukraine was the only country I could quickly go to in order to escape the totally unjust Russian government.
Some pictures from that exhibition could be found here. The Russian government still pursues me because I stood for Ukraine in my posters artwork, but not for Putin's Russia.
Well till now I reside in Ukraine in 'complementary protection' status.
My Ukrainian document scan.
My full poster archive (more than 2500+ posters in web-versions, done since 2008 available here. I totally deny copyright and widely use Détournement technique.
From time to time I search for my references on the web and so I got here to KF.
Stay cool and thank you for reading this!
