Friends, I am looking for new illustration projects ✏️🎨🖼️
Let me know if you need a cover for your report, spot illustrations for your article, a poster for your event - or anything else that requires illustration 😊
See more examples of my work below 👇
Twelve years ago, armed fighters from the #Russia-backed “#Donetsk People’s Republic” (“#DPR”) seized the @izolyatsia cultural centre in Donetsk, Ukraine. In the days that followed, armed groups took control of the site and vandalised its property.
The new Truth Hounds report examines the establishment and operation of the illegal detention facility “Izoliatsiia”.
It traces the history of the Izoliatsiia site from an industrial enterprise to a cultural institution and, later, to a place of occupation and ultimately detention and torture. It describes how shifts in power, ideology, and armed conflict reshaped the site itself and its place in the social and cultural life of Donetsk.

Russia launched a massive missile and drone attack on Ukraine, targeting civilians in Kyiv and other areas.
Yesterday’s Russian maximalist demands for Ukraine to withdraw from its regions, combined with these brutal strikes, show that Russia, not Ukraine, is the obstacle to peace. Moscow, not Kyiv, is where pressure should be applied.
Ukraine's capital experienced a particularly horrible and loud night. As of now, 9 civilian people have been reported killed in Kyiv and over 70 injured, including 6 children.
Other cities and communities across Ukraine were targeted with Russian missiles and drones in the middle of the night, killing and injuring civilians.
Putin demonstrates through his actions, not words, that he does not respect any peace efforts and only wants to continue the war. Weakness and concessions will not stop his terror and aggression. Only strength and pressure will.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy need not, and must not, have any deal forced upon him by any outside nation that does not guarantee the security and the sovereignty of the Ukrainian people, the people who elected him with over 73% of the popular vote, in an election that was recognized as free and fair by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), where I served as a Commissioner and Congressional Appointee. Russia has never held such elections.
President Zelenskyy, and all negotiators, need to know this: There is an outcome-determinative number of Members of the United States Congress, from both parties and in both Chambers, who are ready, willing, and able to do whatever it takes to prevent Communist Dictator Vladimir Putin from being rewarded for his illegal invasion, raping, kidnapping, torturing and murdering of the Ukrainian people, including so many women and children. We will use every lever and every vote at our disposal, regardless of the personal or political consequences. This matter is that time-sensitive and it is that existential. It is legacy-defining.
We all want an immediate end to this brutal Russian invasion and killing. For a peace agreement to be fair and lasting, it must be done in a way that holds the Russian invaders accountable, protects the dignity of the Ukrainian victims, and provides for fair and equitable cost-sharing amongst all European nations. To do otherwise would be to encourage future invasions and to perpetuate future heartache and bloodshed.
This is about Peace Through Strength. This is about Patriotic Common Sense. And Patriotic Common Sense is what America must always stand for.
I am not sure whether I will be active on this platform. May return occasionally, but will prioritize being elsewhere.
In the meantime, I'd like to leave my updated portfolio here. Feel free to reach out, as I am looking for new illustration projects.
Gotta love this massive coping hysteria from Elmo fanboys in the comments.
If someone like Zelensky were caught on camera waving hands in something that could even be very remotely similar to a Nazi salute in images, there would be riots in the streets right now.
But when it's Elmo clearly doing what he did, don't believe your own eyes seeing the video in every detail second by second - it's just an emotional "my heart goes out to you" gesture, you hoax spreader.
Sure, sure, sure.
My new illustration (and a comic of some kind) marks a 7-day countdown to Trump's inauguration.
People around the world are bracing themselves for a dramatic change. Especially here in Ukraine, we hardly know what to expect.
Trump pledged to stop the wars. But what does it mean for Ukraine and Gaza? What does it mean for Canada and Greenland (a sentence I didn't know I would write just a few weeks ago)?
I tried to convey this feeling of uncertainty in my illustration.
