Japan loved it!

The Big Book of Andersen's Fairy Tales
Let me introduce you to the book I have been working on for quite some time. It is one of the volumes of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales that is going to be published soon in China! Each story is accompanied by one-of-a-kind watercolor compositions I made specifically for this book!

Blue Color competition
This competition is about color, but it is also about discovering new talents and interesting ideas.
Ironically, the true blue color is rare in nature. Ancient artists had to extract that color from certain rocks not available at the surface.
What is the blue color for you?
For this competition, I chose an illustration I made for the "Snow Queen", one of the magical fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen. And guess what? It is among the finalists now.

"The Beast That Tamed Man" exhibition
March 1 is traditionally celebrated as Cat Day in Russia. In honor of this interesting holiday, the exhibition “The Beast That Tamed Man” opened in Library No. 2 on Chernaya Rechka as part of the WildArt project. It is dedicated to the cat family's meowing, purring, and sometimes even growling representatives.
One of my tiger watercolors has been exhibited there, also meowing and purring from the wall. He brought me another diploma!
