русская перекличка! / russian roll-call


Позавчера вечером Я ездила в русскии центр в Лондоне Pushkin House .... English speakers: Did you know that LiveJournal has a massive Russian-speaking artistic community? I'm really hoping we'll get some good recommendations on comics and illustration from their part of the world. (I finished the post in handwriting because I'm rubbish at typing in Cyrillic.) Мои любымие художники на ЖЖ/ my favourites so far on LiveJournal (otherwise known by its initials 'zhe-zhe' in Russian): siniy_chelovek, hotshkin, rusolga, shendrik, ilyaz (не только русские, но люди, которые говорят по-русски.) Another favourite, who's Russian but now lives in the States/ Он русскии а живет в США: Vladimir Zimakov You can find a good range of illustration from Russian speakers on this self-portrait website, selfportraits.ru. Some of my favourite Russian artists from history: Viktor Vasnetsov Ivan Bilibin Mikhail Vrubel Lev Bakst Mikhail Nesterov Vasily Surikov Valentin Serov Aristarkh Lentulov Vasily Kandinsky Karl Brullov Andrei Rublev Arkhip Kuindzhi Ilya Repin Natalia Goncharova Vladimir Tatlin Olga Rozanova Vladimir Lebedev Varvara Stepanova Alexander Rodchenko Edit: Have a look at some of these artists people have recommended! Great stuff. :-) aicedora-vulkan: Igor Kuprin's website polinina: Elena Zarubina's website olegti, zilyabr, zuza1, iv-solyaev, orlov-iv
