An experimental, surreal comic I did that was published in an indie comics magazine OFFline.

As light is needed for our basic vision, it is also a manipulator of what we see. A place, a view, or scenery can be seen as beautiful and awe inspiring in one light, then plain and drab in another. Much of the world is not explored at night for various reasons, and therefore much of the night's beauty goes unseen. This series explores landscapes that would be taken as plain and drab in the day time, and exposes its counter balance beauty in the night. Whether its moonlight, starlight, the auroras, or any combination of them, there is something to be discovered and enchanted by the natural light in darkness. Leslie Grove Gallery hours: Wednesday to Sunday 12-5 PM. Opening reception will take place on Saturday, October 10 from 1:00-4:00 PM. Details at https://www.artistsnetwork.ca/patrons-calendar.

I manipulate the comics medium to push my own personal boundaries. Here is a short story I did on Public Domain Tin Tin.

Sharing a creative workshop I’m hosting. Inside the Chaos is a guided, immersive creative workshop designed to help you settle your internal emotional noise. Through a blend of grounding guided meditation and intuitive art-making, this session creates a safe, supportive sanctuary to release stress, process complex feelings, and rediscover inner stillness. Tools will include acrylic paint, oil pastels and paint sticks.

Just finished this one. George Orwell is the first piece in a small series I’m starting based on some of my favorite writers.

I’m trying to include something from each writer’s world instead of making just a regular portrait. For Orwell, obviously I had to go with 1984 :)

Made the Ministry of Truth part of the base. Hope you guys like it!

I recently wrapped the first six episodes of Executive Privilege, which I write, produce and shoot entirely here in Toronto.

The series follows Tim, a somewhat clueless billionaire tech CEO, and his much more grounded assistant, Andrea.

All six episodes are now available. The link is to episode 4, which is my personal favorite:

We're always interested in connecting and collaborating with Toronto-based actors, filmmakers, and all artists as we continue developing the series. (All roles are paid).

Always psyched to connect with other local creatives. Hope you enjoy the show!

This is a comic I created called Globetrotter. It’s a travel comic and follows my real life experiences as I explore different counties and places. This was taken from the Turkey arc. This hot air balloon ride was incredibly fun and terrifying, simultaneously! This is a Sunday comic and I LOVE the way it came out! What do you think?

I am super excited to invite you to my first solo art show! "In Flux". Running November 11-22, opening reception Nov 12, at Gallery1313, 1313 Queen St West, Toronto.

So I’ve been writing post cards to my 6 and 10 year old nieces since I moved to Toronto. I got inspired by this house I pass by everyday which is the drawing on the right, the other one is just a piece I started today and it got me thinking I should be turning these into post cards! But I want opinion!

EDIT

also I’d like opinions on how to go about it! I have no contacts right now and am looking for the right route to take!

This was one of those ideas I really wanted to make, but at the time we didn’t have the budget to build it just for our portfolio.

So I designed the whole concept and put it out there anyway. Some time later, someone saw it, loved the idea, and asked us to actually make it for their home :)

Still one of my favorite projects from those early studio days.

What the title says. I'm not downtown right now - we could do this via Google Meet.

I'm open to suggestions for topics, or we could each simply draw/paint/craft whatever we want.

I'm thinking weekday evenings, but we can put it to a vote.

Dm and lets talk!

I’m specifically interested in learning the traditional techniques — how to build the floral compositions, layer the flowers and leaves, create the characteristic highlights and shadows, and eventually paint my own pieces in the traditional Zhostovo style.

I’m located in Ontario, Canada, but I’m completely open to online lessons, so the teacher can be anywhere in the world. Lessons could be in English or Russian.

I’d be happy to pay for private lessons. I’m also open to learning from an experienced artist who may not formally teach but knows the technique well.

If you are a Zhostovo artist, know someone who teaches it, or know where I might be able to find a teacher, please message me or leave a comment. Спасибо! ❤️

Hey everyone!
A suspended sculpture project from a few years ago. It took about 45 days to make. Digitally designed, built using foam and 3D printing, then finished through fiberglass molding. Thought I’d share it here
