It was interesting to read about Velcovsky's inspirations and intentions. His life experiences are so dramatically different from my own and add a provoking layer of depth to his works.
It is also remarkable that he decided to use design as a medium for social commentary despite a tendency towards "cheap, rustic kitsch for the Russian and German markets." It was very bold of him to pursue such unique goals in an area where there "was no design scene to speak of." His story and the success of the shop and magazine that he and his fellow designers were able to establish in the Czech Republic are very inspiring.
In addition, I love his work and the hidden commentary he embeds them with!
