Yup, it's really me sneaking around a KA-50 gunship on the photo (no, it isn't a Photoshop collage, albeit it may look like one). You know, here in Russia hi-tech gunships are pretty common: one notices them as often as those damn bears crossing the snowy streets here and there, messing the traffic and things like that. Yes, here we have no idea what all this Final Fantasy thing is... some sort of a new drug? What, there are consoles technologically superior to Sega Genesis? Come on, you've got to be kidding! RPG's, you say? Street Fighter II rulez! Zangief'z da man!! (^_^)

Anyway, usual day of a typical Russian fan-artist consists of drinking huge amounts of Vodka, dancing Polka, playing Tetris, watching Communist propaganda on TV, and *surprise!* drawing. Last activity is not an easy task, because it has to be done strictly at night in secret places - if local authorities knew about a person who sends his ideologically incorrect artwork to Western Capitalists, I could easily get caught by FSB (ex-KGB) agents and accused in treason. But I'm happy living a life full of grave danger, risking my head every now and than, all just to deliver quality art to the interested viewers! Be sure to check upon GIA's Sketch Artist galleries for my upcoming drawings!
