EAST LONDON MORNINGS

I have been recently involved into East London Mornings project. That is non-profit publishing project with intentions to create the guide of best places for morning coffee at Hackney. I was asked to draw illustration for nice and cozy place CREPERIE DU MONDE. I'm very into places with wooden tables, country style dishes and small lovely details. I've checked some other recommended spots, all of them have warm peaceful atmosphere and something special what is difficult to describe. I believe that the rest of places have also that unique charm of East London. So I can highly recommend East London Mornings guide.

DRAWING FROM LIFE

I was suggested to draw more on locations and from life. Monmouth coffee shop at Borough market with endless flow of people was right place to start.

WINDOWS OF KADRIORG

It was the place where I've grown up, vast park with trees a couple hundred years old and dozen wood houses. At first glance they seem to be quite the same, but if you spend more time you will notice some slavic patterns, some northern simplicity and million stories.  Houses are changing constantly by getting complete renovation or continue being damaged by nature. Anyway it is the place where I belong.

TALLINN IN MY SKETCHBOOK

Was it coincidence or friday 13, but my flight London-Tallinn had plenty of empty seats. Anyway I didn't complain.

That small cafe in old town of Tallinn is full of tiny details and hidden beauty. 

AMSTERDAM IN MY SKETCHBOOK

I was lucky to have my flight to London on dutch national holiday, Queens Day. As I wasn't impressed with all that orange crowds and disaster at old city center, I preferred to spend a couple of hours at Schiphol airport.
