"I Feel It Starts Again is a story about flower dreams, written and drawn during the isolation in Saint Petersburg. I watched days and months go by and fantasized about being a flower, enjoying sun, wind and rain. It was some sort of meditation during the process of adjusting to new reality and accepting my new life - and the most transcendent experience I ever had while making comics."

I'm a self-taught cartoonist from Siberia, educator, small press publisher and a founder of local indie comics festival. I was born in 1988 in a small village. My mom is a professional basketball player and coach. When I was 12 I almost got kicked out from school for distributing my comics about our teachers being dumb. I love flowers so much!
