I did some images for Little Red Riding Hood, with all the love for all the Grandmas and little girls!

The autumn is finally here, and here is my treasure chest, all the thing cute and beige, that I have collected on my way home

Even as an illustrator, I have a lot of routine work – retouching illustration, working on lines, when all the ideas and scetches are ready, etc. Not to get depressed with all of this, I’ve decided to make one small 30-minute drawing a day, which later on turned into a heap of fruits and vegetables,…

I’ve changed my process a little and have put all paint from big bottles into tiny containers by the color.

This week I’ve make a little illustration for maternity clinic’s site, their new pediatrics department. It’s not acrylics alas, but it’s the style I did for them about a year ago and it turned out pretty. I guess much time should pass until I can substitute all my portfolio with the works in acrylics and…

Today I’ve been to a Handmade Expo market, a paradise for those who like all kinds of crafts, especially (to my surprise) beads embroidery. If was easy to find my way there – I just followed a flow of elderly women rushing in flocks)). I was hunting there for acrylic paints and some wool threads,…

What to do on a lazy holiday evening but to do some organizational stuff?), especially when there is no way one can paint or work. These 3 huge paintings were done in summer, and only now I have put them up on the site. And by huge I mean HUGE – 50×50 (20×20) cm each!…

After staying home with a sick child for almost a week, painting at night was not work – but art therapy, to regain my inner peace. So now I have 2 paintings of a Frida Cat-lo and Einstein Cat (or Cat-stein, if you like). The paintings went off as presents to my dearest in-laws, meanwhile…

Вот и прошли 2 месяца курса на каллиграфии, и чтобы бессонная ночь подготовки не прошла даром, выложу часть каракуль сюда. Итак, что такое брашпен? Это ручка с кисточкой на конце, или резервуарчик для жидкости с кисточкой на конце. В общем, брашпеном может быть и просто кисточка и баночка чернил, но это ж как-то слишком просто,…

One cannot just watch tons of video on cheap photography and not try to photoshoot something. Well, I am not happy with the result, but I guess that was the first time I used a reflector. Hooray!

Other paintings from last week. Alas, there was no time for painting this week so far, only trying  to keep up with other digital commissions.

I am thrilled to announce that I have opened my Etsy shop and have already made my first sale! There are a lot of “howevers” to all of this, like the parcel is on it’s way to Brazil, Ukraine’s post tracking system has many dark spots and Brazil seems to prohibit the import of any…

Here are some of the portraits for the Christmas boxes project

Love theme this time. The big image is to be printed an the box, the small images are for packaging of separate tiny chocolates

I’ve finally managed to get 10 images ready for Shutterstock exam, and I have passed the exam! Somehow, I’m not a millionaire yet

Yesterday I made some cinnamon non-edible ornaments (this recipe from Martha Stewart ) They are made of tons of cinnamon, apple sauce and some glue. This is the first batch I’ve tried to bake, but with no luck, thus letting them air-dry is highly recommended =). The baked ones lost all the flavor, but got…
