One Sketchbook per month
In 2026, I began a personal challenge: to fill one sketchbook per month, using it as a dedicated space for observation, idea development, and visual exploration
Halloween PFPs
The limited collection of spooky, hand-drawn profile pictures by Ilya Kazakov. No AI, just pumpkins, ghosts, zombies, and more.
MEOOOWS
My sanctuary where the whimsical dances with reality. Here, I weave a narrative of life’s boundless potential through the surreal visions of elongated, mysterious beings, each crowned with the head of a cat.
GM (Good Morning)
Meditative project born from a simple ritual: drawing each morning around the theme of “Good Morning.” Over time, it became a quiet exploration of discipline, presence, and the small beauty of daily beginnings.
FTCG (Fake Trading Card Game)
A collection of cards made at the request of the community and friends.
Doodle Time
Project began in 2016 as a simple experiment — an open invitation to draw whatever people could imagine. What started as a playful concept gradually evolved into something I keep coming back to: a space where spontaneity, curiosity, and community input shape the final outcome. I’ve always been drawn to the unpredictability of the requests; each one feels like a tiny door into someone else's world.
Little Friends
A collection of 300 unique characters born from the ashes of a burned OE token. Each belongs to a rarity tier — from Common to Mystical — shaped by time-limited minting that made some far rarer than others.
NFT Parties
The first NFT party was organized on August 26, 2021, after a tweet saying, “What if all these guys meet at the party?”. Thanks to the friendly NFT community, we gathered many collections into one illustration, bringing us closer. Since then, the parties are held regularly.
NFTotem
It all began in 2024 as an experiment: a living totem that would represent an NFT in your wallet. After creating several prototypes with designer and developer Anton Gridz, we realized it could attract a wider audience—now any collector can create a personal totem, formed entirely from their own tokens.
Kawaiinator
Ready for to be Kawaiinated? Just send your profile picture, and the Kawaiinator machine
will print a new version of your userpic in Ilya’s unique style.
Metaverse Creatures
There are 8 clans in the Metaverse: Humanoids, Shapes, Insectoids, Ichthyoids, Cyborgs, Beasts, Symbiotics and Mysticals. The Civils live ordinary lives, some work as Guards, some are the Chiefs, Druids or Warriors.
Silent Island
A story about a magical island with birds, full of mysteries.
