PARDON OUR DUST

Last month I was asked to create a T-shirt design for one lovely Moscow based running club Girl&Sole. Members of the club were going to the annual Paris Half Marathon and needed team T-shirt with cheering up message. Two years ago I also run that distance, one of most beautiful routes I've done, I hope one day I going to run that again. 

10 RULES

A set of illustrations created for a joint exhibition with Nina Pechkovskaya in Tallinn.


This series of prints depicts personal subjective rules created about the search for happiness and well-being. 

•Collect moments, not things.
London life is full of moves, four years in UK taught  me to let go material things without regret. I started appreciate memories and experience I got, these things wouldn't disappear  from my mind and remain with me for years.

•Be fit and your body will thank you.
I've never been a sport person, gym classes in high school were true torment for me. However, after a chain of circumstances I started running on a regular basis. It wasn't a love from the first sight. Looking back now I could say that having regular physical activity for more than three years gave me better understanding of my body needs and abilities.

•Open your mind only for beautiful thoughts.
Even on low moment of life I try to keep away from all dark thoughts.

•Create

The feeling of creating something with your own hands is unique and the satisfaction it could bring is priceless.

•Have your guilty pleasures.
But don't feel guilty about it. Share the things you admire, let people see the beauty of things you like.

• Share you thoughts.

Your thoughts are like seeds, you never know where they could travel, land and grow up.

•Dare to try new things
Everyday life could get so many new shades if we let in new experience. Sometimes it could be a failure, but it is only one way to discover new unknown flavours, colours and sounds of life.  

 •Leave your comfort zone
Sometimes you just need to take other route to bus stop or try new cafe and you'll see how many things going on outside of your comfort zone.

•Have your passions and hobbies.
I used to have piano classes in my childhood, twenty years later I recalled my skills and playing piano turned to my new passion. It helped me a lot to escape and relax on low moments of my life.

•Sleep well
Anything couldn't be compared to the healing  power of 8 hour long sleep.
