Howdy, my dear and beloved patrons!


Here's a couple of properly scanned commissions from this month  - the previously shown Graveslinger piece and Charles Forsman's REVENGER.

I'm planning on doing (and obviously, showing here!) more commissions pretty soon - along with some art from Protector #4 (even though God only knows now if and when this issue will be published at all...) And while there's nothing happening in big comics, a lot of Slavic Nihilism is happening over here right now!

Most importantly, I hope you all are safe and well among all the Coronavirus madness. Saint Petersburg will probably go on full quarantine mode soon, following Moscow; me and Katia are successfully self-isolating here with our cat, a bunch of puzzles and a lot of time on our hands to exercise and make good food. Obviously there's a lot of nervousness about future works and employments, with fewer and fewer possibilities of Katia finding a job in animation somewhere abroad (how sadly laughable this idea is now, really?) and comic going on shutdown, with projects cancelling left and right (including one I now 100% won't be able to work on). So, if you're well for now, I've got a little link for you!

Otherwise - especially if things start looking grimly for you, too - please, don't hesitate to cancel the subscription anytime! I'm endlessly grateful to you all for those months and years of support, but in situations like this, digital services should be first to go.

I will survive, we will survive, comics will survive, Protector will survive, Slavic Nihilism will survive. 

Please stay safe! Love, Artyom

The whole world is basically taking a break right now. While we’re still months away from a vaccine, during the course of every infectious disease you reach a plateau. We’re not there yet, but it’s closer than you think. Anyhow, stay strong. Things will get better. I’m in it for the long haul with you!

Russia takes longer with everything so far, so by the time it's over for you, we might still be climbing to our plateau, haha! Thank you, man <3

Well, there’s also the whole “probably not telling the whole truth” part. New report is saying that China lied about the extent of the virus. Shocking! https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-04-01/china-concealed-extent-of-virus-outbreak-u-s-intelligence-says Anyhow, stay strong!

Having just discovered you, I could hardly cut this loose as I begin to explore the breadth of your work. It was looking like I was laid off from my job over the last several days but as I came in yesterday my employer asked me to stay on as the federal government would cover the better part of my salary and they would top up the rest. Things change so we’ll see. But there is much to be said for feeding the soul too. During my self quarantine (it was likely a run of the mill cold), finding you and your work on Twitter after enjoying the first couple of issues of Protector helped pull me out of a crippling obsession with everything pandemic. The product of your uniquely creative mind and deft hands allow me a few moments of transcending the thick animal fear that this situation stirs in my gut. I thank you for your efforts and wish you and your’s all the best.

Thank you so much, Mark. This comment was the very first thing I saw in the morning and it melted me <3
