About
Born in Sakha (Yakutia) in 1984. I started creating commercial illustrations about 20 years ago. Until 2019, I worked in an office as an Art director, but during the Covid pandemic, I fully transitioned to freelancing and working on my personal projects. In March 2021, I minted my first NFT token.
Besides work, I am interested in birdwatching, love brewing coffee, and enjoy traveling.
I dream of publishing books and creating animated films with my own characters.
