Я очень, ну очень люблю Новый год, намного больше дня рождения. Это не только ночь, когда положено не спать, а есть, но и два месяца навязывания нам магазинами новогоднего настроения. Как человек, который уже с первого декабря ноет о том, где бы взять елку, я решила в этом году растянуть праздник на месяц. Американцы, которые…

Finally I can share the illustrations for my latest the book. It’s been quite a challenge, as I was drawing it alongside with my pregnancy and dayjob, but the publisher was incredibly patient! They gave me all the freedom except the list of the musical instruments, that had to be listed plus some limitations due…

Working on the same secret Christmas project

Working on a secret Christmas project soon to be revealed. Family portraits are a nice part of it

After a month and a half of being a mother, I managed to spare an hour to be a mother-artist. Unfortunately, my acquarels were hidden somewhere in the course of baby-welcome house-cleaning along with my other toys (charcoal, pastels etc), and all I could find are those pencils. Beautiful weather and walking with a baby…

Hooray! Now you can buy my paintings in an online gallery. Unfortunately due to some home issues there’s little chance for me to paint now, but I  truly love it!

A tiny piece of an image for a book, which is not published for a year already. No chance to boast with any more images. The publisher is the same one I’ve did three books already  – “Azbookvarik”, the book is “Lily and Goldfish”

Summer is not over yet, and I am already all in Christmas stuff

Drawing engravings for a personal project. Great rest from bunnies and squirrels, which though await for me tomorrow

I am going on with my studies. I know that breading is not cool any more, but those faces in bread are so expressive – humiliation, anger, humility and passiveness

I am finished with my huge and tiring projects and try to stay tuned into drawing, so here is my way out – postcrossing.com! I go to the site, get a random address to which I have to send a postcard. All the users can specify what they want to see on a postcard. Instead…

Unfortunately, there’s not much I can show at the time, as some things are still secret and not published.  Here is a tiny sneak-peak of a book I am currently struggling with – it’s all about music and animals. It’s VERY informative and detailed =)). All together there will be about 50 different animals and…

This winter we’ve been lucky with impressive snowfalls,  when some cars are literally buried under the snow (and in some heaps of snow there can easily be a car, but you can’t tell), but lot’s of trees have broken and beautiful branches are all around.  

I don’t do photography, though I have an acceptable camera, I am like a person with a piano, who is supposed to be a pianist (and actually I have an electronic one and have no idea how to play it)). So every time I have to take photos at work, I fell really awkward, like…

We’ve done some really cute gift certificates for the company I work for. Enjoy the super-duper elite confetti carefully handmade by the art-director. The credit for the gift certificates artwork should be given to our lovely designer – Anna Aktaeva

Another “in-progress” snap-shot. This one is no secret  – art for decorating photobooks (http://print-a-tet.com.ua/template-002-baby-girls.html).    

Here is just a tiny bit of the book, I am currently working on. I just love this eye-popping teethy fellow. Plus I have a gay-looking fish, that seems to be wearing lipstick, but that will be my secret yet.
