from my winter series.having a cool snowboarder around is very inspiring thing for me (and luckly I have one in my brother) ;) But this particular pic portrays my friend Nikita. I`m totally captivated by the strength of winter sports.

Although I`ve been working on a new cover for my friends briskly, I snatched a moment to finish this drawing above.
Working hard lately and merely have no time for relaxation of full value. Reading a few sentences a day because of this zeitnot. As today :)

Sometimes I post my drawing in stages at Adam & Eve. Or here . Today I tremendously tired of doing that monotonous and mundane work trying to put all the textiles samples pics at layout for presentation.When I have such delusively simple things accomplished, I feel much more proud of myself then when I finish, say, another drawing (which comes out more easier)... Well, I`m heading to dinner...

Heady wine, costume, pumpkin, reunion. Going over my archive today...

2011-10-26T11:09:00.000-07:00

Working on my new textiles today, so now I`m dead tired. Keeping awake till 3 a.m. is a perfect way for being a somnambulist till 3 p.m. the next day. That`s time-tested thing...

2011-10-25T11:45:00.000-07:00

Oh, today was a hectic day. After approving coloring test for a project I`ve been recently in, sending lots of e-mails and finishing a few urgent pics (eg Woody Allens portraits, above), spending time at the post office, editing pics and dozen of routines I`m finally at home.

And i just got my copy of Great Big Book by Martin Dawber from Anova. A few my old pics are there, heh:)

I `ve been too zealous at gym, way too much. Despite the muscle pain (which I`ve not been feeling for almost 10 years), I`m running on high heels all the day long ;D Going to enjoy bibliotheque candles and awareness of my efficiency today... Have a great weekend!

will be back next week with new pics.

2011-10-20T10:39:00.000-07:00

I bet you admire the Peter Cooks buildings, since they are incredible ;) So, If you`re in Brisbane, don`t miss a chance to visit 75 Peters exhibition. If you`re at home (wherever it is) you`ll have an opportunity to look at Sir Peter`s portraits online.

2011-10-19T12:08:00.000-07:00

I make portraits quite often. But I`ve never had such a sophisticated brief before. I was asked to illustrate a scene from a fancy story (we ended up with Alice in Wonderland) with all the contributors embodied as a heroes. My hand was pretty close to CTS by the final strokes ;)

2011-09-27T10:16:00.000-07:00

Just got my copy of the vynil release of my friend from Peripheral Records . with my artwork of course.

btw, for more news you can go to my twitter . a smattering of twits will turn to a regular habit, hopefully (since there is a lot of things to tell, but sometimes it needs a bit more than span I have for writing :D)

I was quite dumbfounded by the fact that some people still prefer typing by a forefinger only :)wow, I was captivated by the two girls hitting their keyboards violently with their forefingers today, at the office of business partner... Cute skill, no doubt.

Also I forget about deadline today fro a very first time in my life!!! Luckly, I made everything in 5 minutes and promise to myself looking through my organizer narrowly in the sequel...

I got new scarves today, and they will ba available for purchasing from Monday.

Well, there was a week of eyeopeners for me, so many things happend, so many wierd people I saw.

It`s high time to pass from from workadays to joyful weekend.

Enjoy the weekend!

2011-09-06T09:58:00.000-07:00

What is a leitmotif of my summer? It`s not about chilling, it`s about being on the run all day... Hectic, but happy life in fact. SquareLust pieces will be available to purchase in a more places in Europe, so I`m definitely in need of more hours a day, more hands to manage everything right. wish me luck.

2011-07-04T08:03:00.000-07:00

Smell of linden trees heated with a sun before sunset makes me utterly happy. Watching evening turns to night in a tender embrace of fragrant summer air is so jooyyyyful... This just cool to play cards on the terrace and then observe moon and stars at the telescope...

2011-06-29T10:10:00.000-07:00

The Tangle print is now available at CultureLabel (a2 and large-than-life one) ;)

Business routine takes me back from other things for a while, but now it seems everything has done properly (keeping silence in a fear of jinxing it)... I have a few projects in a row to finish shortly. My usual craving are some more hours in a day. Btw, summer is hottt, as for me, I`m high because of this ;D

Zombie lace fabric.

2011-05-27T10:15:00.000-07:00

I know, it`s not new, but I loooove the idea of making fabric with strange designs. Boring, ordinary, a little gloomy fabric, with annoying splash of dots becomes funny when you see smiling zombie face. It should belong in black humour collection (which would never exist) :D 1 meter of cotton fabric...

Have a great weekend)

yesterdays bluff.

2011-05-16T09:58:00.000-07:00

To be frank, my weekend was intense, since I`ve been living in quite stressful environment lately (being anxious about dead-lines,stocks,opportunities etc). There was a shooting at my place yesterday... And there was a pair of charming mirror-like mouse-ears or smth, which I did not fail to try on... So, I believe, the best way to make your stress gone is grimacing in front of the mirror or in front of an amorous camera lens. I found it verrry effective (especially when it`s necessary to be serious in every day life).

Well, I got my 10 minutes to make a shooting, than 10 minutes to make a layout ;D Ended up with belting out "Stars shining bright aboooooove you..." in the karaoke-bar...

As a result , a fantastic efficiency today, great spring mood and wiiiiiide smile all day long, although I still have some traces of a green marker I used on my lips the day before ;DDD

2011-05-14T05:04:00.000-07:00

Hmmm, it seems like the last post is gone for some reason ) Just made a FB account for SL . Would be happy to share new shoots, pics and video with you ;)

I enjoyed every minute of winter, with that crystal clear air,which is always bracing in winter time,with all that lace of bare branches, and still even have a pictures of frozen forest in my phone... But spring always comes with new opportunities.It`s a fact. As Chinese say, the luck of the entire year depends on what you have done in spring... So, friends, wish you spring energy to realize all your ideas somewhat quicker ;)

I`ve always been charmed by Bjork cute face and her significantly alienish style, so I made lots of pics inspired by her.

A portrait of mr.Terry. But since I was not that diligent today, I think the likeness was lost half-way, but still :D

2011-04-11T01:21:00.000-07:00

She is charismatic personality, so I added a little glowing thing in drawing :D

2011-04-04T01:24:00.000-07:00

The picture above is my watercolor portrait made by my friend Augusto (Brazilian journalist and handsome man). I find it very flattering ;)
The picture beneath is a grotesque self-portrait (mad mad look ;)), as I feel myself these days.
Sometimes it`s just a mad bustle what happens around.
Being in Beijing in February, I got an invitation from Veronica (a producer in one of MTV departments). That`s would be a quite interesting thing to receive guests in my NY-studio and spend there a whole day ;) But the thing is, I have no NY -studio yet) moreover I`ve been pretty far from US.
Getting back in Moscow, I got a similar invitation from Melbourne... What a funny lack of coincidence)
Also I owe a lunch to a few people ;) But I became a sort of difficult to catch person lately...
And lots of things happens which terribly amaze me. Sometimes I don`t event know what to think, really.
It looks like there is a tiny mistake in a huge puzzle ;D But this chaos will turn to order very soon.
Today I`m back to my routine finally, and hopefully would never be such talkative as today.
