I was glad to be able to attend opening of “Illustrators 54″ at Society of Illustrators – New York last Friday.
The opening was great and I am excited to be having my “Werewolf” next to many great illustrators’ work.
“Werewolf” was selected in the Uncommissioned category of the competition.

Thank you Ann-Marie, who is a current owner of the work, for letting me borrow the work for the show.

Siberian Beauty

It is always exciting to get an email from a client to illustrate beautiful woman and animals. This painting has been commissioned by my client Gary. The painting is a gift to his wife Lena, who is originally from Siberia, Russia. I was thrilled to work on this piece because it reminded me bit of Russia and its culture that I grew up around, as some of you know Russian borders with Mongolia. Gary explained that it would be nice to include some of Siberian nature and animals along with his beautiful wife Lena in the painting. So I decided to include a Russian brown bear, a Siberian tiger and birch trees and a small village in the background.

My work has been featured in the Breakthrough Spotlight: Staff Picks

Few months ago I entered an art competition “Breakthrough” from Richard Solomon Artists Representative. The contest was the first illustration competition that launched by an artist’s representative. With the help of 20 judges, all working industry pros, they judged 400 + entries from 15 + countries. Michal Dziekan, an amazing young illustrator from Poland won the competition and is going to be represented by the agent in the future.


I’m very honored to be featured in this spotlight from the Richard Solomon Breakthrough contest as one of the staff picks. Thank you Richard Solomon for an opportunity to display my art! This gives me lots of encouragement!!!


Richard Solomon: “Now that the Breakthrough Contest is over, we, the staff over at the Richard Solomon’s office, got a chance to sit down and look over all of the submissions from this year’s contest. We picked out those people that in our opinion also deserved a little spotlight even though they didn’t win. These artists are also among the highest scoring of the competition. They were chosen by Ana Gomez (graphic designer), Kofong Hsia (assistant), and Anastasiya Tarasenko (assistant) collectively.”
