Another series that started out as a game to become a real beauty is „Takeshi Kitano and other icons“. Here Lovigin plays with a series of famous personalities in an anonymous context. „I started with Kitano because I’m a big fan and I was intrigued by the idea of putting him in the spotlight along with people that don’t even know who he is“, tells Petr.

Starting with Kitano’s face, Lovigin creates more famous cons for this series, for example Dalei Lama, Einstein, Marilyn Monroe, Sadam Hussein or Homer Simpson to mention just some examples.
