Olympic weekend
Found this book about Olympic games in Mexico and Grenoble in 68. Made a dozen of sketches of athletes and still feel dissatisfied.

Imaginary beings
I was so blown away by making a portrait gallery of my imaginary beings yesterday. When someone told me about the war in Georgia, I thought it was a joke - sounded absolutely surreal. Still can't believe.

Tram
The other day I found bound volumes of Tram. This magazine was quite popular in the early nineties in the Soviet Union. It was published for two years and then disappeared at the same time with the USSR breakdown. I never read it, but was familiar by hearsay. So I grabbed my treasure and spent all Sunday reading it.

Dreiraumwohnung exhibition #001
The prehistory is we don't have much private galleries in Moscow. I mean those tiny little cozy places where you can look at ten or twelve pictures of the same artist, have a chat with friends, drink wine and happily go home. Two of my favorite Russian illustrators Masha Krasnova-Shabaeva and Darya Rychkova made such thing. They collaborate on one chamber exhibition and hang out their works in one flat.
Right here I felt bored about what I wrote and just had to stop not to harm that sparkling magic drawing world. Feel pleased. Sh!

Family jewels
Found all these things while I was on vacation. This knife in the center is some kind of our family jewels. Made of German silver, very old, sometimes used instead of nutcrackers because of heavy haft. In the beginning there where six of them, but now only one left.

Present
I made a b-day present for someone special. Handwritten, handbound and handwrapped. Hopefully, it's only a prototype of something big.

First book
This's my first ever book. I found it at home where I lived earlier. It's about little pig who resents having to wash. I wish I knew how it influenced my life.
This man was reading a book in Chinese, he wore flat fabric Chinese shoes, he had a bowl with porcelain soup spoon. I'm talking about it because when I met him we were deep into Russia. His Russian pronunciation was funny. He was going to visit the uni he graduated many years ago and meet some old friends.
By the way I updated my portfolio with new portraits of Russian celebrities. And with a new comics about laughing old man. Scroll down to see the newest works.
