I usually don't write anything here, but now it's impossible to keep quiet. Please read it, it is very important to me and many other people. It is hard for me to write, English is not my native language and I don't know it well enough, but I will try.

If you are only interested in information about commissions, scroll down the journal!

I am from Russia. I have spent all my life in this country, and I sincerely love it. But I also hate the government that has been hurting its own citizens for years, and now it has gone too far: it started a war. A war against Ukraine.
Neither I, nor the people around me support this decision, no one asked for our opinion while this decision was in making. Now we are trying to stop this, to let the government know that ordinary people do not agree with this decision, that we demand an end to hostility. Many of us have relatives and friends living in Ukraine, many of us have traveled there more than once, and many were planning to study in Ukraine. What is happening now, is a crime of my government.
I ask all of you to unite and help us. Help both Ukrainians and Russians in their struggle. Please, if you can help financially - send funds to Ukrainian civilian aid funds (be sure to check where you send funds - unfortunately, scammers still exist) and to organizations in Russia that support and protect protesters. Support artists from these countries, many of whom live off of the money from their commissions. For many, it is the only way to pay the bills and fines for participating in anti-war performances. If you can't help financially, spread the information, or write some kind words. Believe me, this is very important to all of us who are struggling with the regime and its actions right now.

I can't leave links to any organizations helping Ukraine here - in my country there is a 12 to 20 year prison sentence for that. I can't transfer a single penny to them - that's considered treason.
So I will leave here links to human rights organizations in Russia:

https://apologia.pro/
Perhaps, one day these organizations will help me and my loved ones.

Right now all my income depends on commissions, adoptables and YCHs. I go out together with my friends, and I need money to maintain a stable life.
You can donate via Paypal (so far it works): eastern.dog79[at]gmail.com

Or commission me, or buy an open YCH.

Depending on the amount you’ve donated, you may choose the type(s) of artwork you would like to get according to my pricelist. The remaining slots are regular ones, the money from them will be used to cover my own bills and running costs (food, transport, etc).
