Hey there!
My name is Alex, nice to meet you! I’m an artist from Russia who is obsessed with horror genre, ink, and aesthetics. During my life I’ve tried a lot of different techniques both traditional and digital & have been creating my B&W ink works on Tumblr and Instagram since 2014. I’ve finished art school and then university as a graphic designer. Both were pretty useless to be honest. Most of my skills I learned by myself. I’ve always thought of academic art as outdated and a boring way of learning and now I have an opportunity to create my own one based off all the experience I have. I believe that there are better strategies out there and I promise we are not going to draw plastic potatoes during our time together!
