DESIGN · 2016 → 2021 · AND AGAIN 2026

Five years with graphics

I started with print and retouching as a freelancer: business cards, posters, menus, advertising, prepress. Then Yellow Images — 3D models, renders, colour correction and mockups for a Canadian stock library. Then Prometeus Labs, where brand identity, markup and video editing were added to the graphics.

MY OWN PRODUCT · TVER · 2016 — 2018

Dazhdi Studio


What it was

My first product of my own. A client sent in a photograph, I drew a low-poly portrait from it by hand in Photoshop — around three hours each — printed it on canvas and handed it over. The packaging I designed and assembled myself, and finished pieces I often delivered in person, meeting somewhere in town. Most were bought as gifts.


How it sold

I sold through a VKontakte group, Instagram and my own site. I never bought advertising. In the autumn of 2016 I put together a joint set with Coco in Lab — a portrait plus craft scrubs, gift packaging and free delivery.

Shop window and product

The pumpkin, the spaghetti, the burger and the ice cream were a shop window rather than a product: I drew those for the group page, to have something to show between commissions.

Moon Rabbit

moonrabbit.com · interface, illustrations, icon collection · markup and mobile adaptation: HTML, Sass, JavaScript

A distributed crypto conglomerate: a system of jurisdictions pulling every distributed ledger into a single cross-chain protocol. All my work there came down to one task — making that abstraction visible. I drew the interface to the owners' concept, a series of illustrations and a collection of icons, and took part in the markup and the mobile adaptation.


The design that went into music

I drew posters for myself and for the trio as well — sheets under my own name. There were many shows and a poster did not survive from every one of them; some were done by designers at the venues. The ones that remain are collected in the Music section: there you can see not only the layout but what it was made for.
