The exhibition was ok, though I didn't have much time to be there. Ten minutes of after-party all I could manage. It's nice to see your works printed.
Tomorrow there will be a group exhibition of patterns. I'm taking part. Finished one new a couple of days ago. Shoe addictive. It's getting cold and there's still nothing better than valenki I guess.
So if you're in Moscow, please, come by.
I'm working with Level 2 student this year and it's exiting, but sometimes exhausting work. These moments I just need to take a break for a couple of minutes. I hide in the stuff room and... guess what? I draw there. The self-portrait above is the result of my Friday escape.
Also did you know you can bring your Faber-Castells back to life with tap water? I'm talking about PITT artist pens in particular.
Sarah Applebaum is exactly what I need during these gloomy rainy autumn days.
If you're a student, take part. This makes me regret my Master of Arts is over.
Full of random good news. I mean it!
My iPhone wallpapers on Poolga.com. Actually, all the wallpapers I have now are from that site.
Took part in a competition, but yesterday found out Rodion Kitaev made it too. Now he's gonna win!
Ivan Velicko's collection of polish posters could help me to accept the situation.
Breath slowly! You're on Poolga now. Agrrrrh!
If you're laughing and look a bit surprised after you've finished your picture - be sure it's one of your bests.
But it'll take a lifetime to learn to draw like a child. Just look how they interpret works of mature illustrators!
It's ok to visit exhibitions again, means it's autumn. Today we've seen some of Vladimir Favorsky's illustrations for children's books. His engravings had a great influence on the development of modern Russian graphics.
Dreaming about Victor Pivovarov exhibition. He's stunningly perfect.
Also now I'm in the Luerzer's Archive "200 Best Illustrators worldwide 2009/10".
It was nice to find some of my drawings published during trip to St. Petersburg.
We had a lunch in Zoom cafe and accidentally saw Jaakko Pallasvuo exhibition. One of his drawings is right behind me. It was dark, I know.
Amazing book about easter eggs by Sonya Solonchenko
Meet the new monkey set.
Look at the Ben Newman's Russian doll for Pocko
The opening of my Matreshka's ehxibition was lovely - calm and easy. I met several good people I knew for a long time through the internet but never met them in real. One of them was Lyalya Vaganova, an illustrator. And the other one was Serge Kuzhavski from OPEN!Design&Concepts. That's what the exhibitions are for! Meet people! Thank you everybody who dropped in.
Preparing my personal exhibition of Matreshka dolls. It was too late when I've realized I have no business cards. So I made them myself. Each one is slightly unique now.
If you're in Moscow, I'll be pleased to see you tomorrow, Saturday 12th at 18:00. The place called Mesto and it's a ten-minute walk from Kitay-Gorod subway station.
