Artist continued profile. Let’s get a tiny bit personal:

– What are your goals as an artist?: To become a famous Comic book artist and have the respect of those around me.

– Favourite artist/why?: I like a lot of artists, the most influential are:
* Steve Dillon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Dillon) for his composition and frames.
* Paul Gulacy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Gulacy) for his style dynamic and graphic forms.
* Brian Bolland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Bolland) for his strokes and hatching.

– What do you think of Comics being made into movies?: I think that it is great and amazing, but I don’t like all movies. I think that it is time to make movies in an other genre of comic. It would be a good idea if someone would make a movie based on any Vertigo and Dark Horse comic book or Graphic Novel.

– Has reading a Comic ever changed your life? Which one/why? (If yes):
I think it’s changed none of my life. I think life can be changed by other things, like real life situations. And those situations will become comics, That’s in my case.

– If someone created a Comic about your life what would they title it?: Hahaha that’s gooood question. I am working on my own creative graphic novel. It is based on real life, all about my life. It is called Overcast Monday.

– Where there any defining moments in your life that have influenced your artistic style?: Definitely the 19th of October 2009, which was famously like an overcast Monday. The day after was the following story in my life, which I decided to make a graphic novel.

– If you could have any power from a Comic character, what would it be/why?: Actually I don’t like any super heroes, but it would be good if I were able to read minds.

– Favourite Comic artist of all time/why?: Of all time??? Joe Kirby definitely. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Kirby).

– What do you prefer to snack on when creating a masterpiece?: Nothing specially.

– Where do you ‘draw’ your daily inspiration from?(See what I did there hehe): The outdoors.

– Likes: Cool weather, KFC wings, sesame street, skinny pants, skateboarding, comic book art, prison break TV series.

– Dislikes: Sunshine, milk, ex girlfriends, annoying people, teen’s party’s.

– Favourite joke: Some people think I’m psycho, I BEG TO DIFFER!!! (makemebad35).

– Would you rather be attacked by a big bear or a swarm of a bees?: If thinking the probability of being dead, swarm of a bees. If you ever meet a big bear you don’t have a chance to runaway from him. 

– Where would you bury hidden treasure if you had some?: I see no reason to bury something that could make me so rich.
– If you were to: Marry, sleep with and punch one Comic character in each category stated, which one and why?: ?I have no idea sorry. I don’t want to marry somebody, even a comic character.

– Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 8 and find line 4. What is it?:
I don’t have any books in English right now.

– Any thank you’s/shout-outs?:
* Sean Rutan (http://www.facebook.com/srutan) for possibility to publish my book and for editing.
* Artey Zhukoff (http://www.facebook.com/ZhukoffArtey) for ink’s.
* Andrew Utochkin for support and legal assistance.
* Thanks a lot to people whose were in the Overcast Monday story in the real life, without them I could not to make it.
* Special thanks to Shelly Grapes and i hope what one day she’ll forgive me.
