    Charushin's name is Evgeny (or Eugene). Grew up on his drawings.

    Thank you for this blog! Enormous level of happiness each time I visit!

    Ha-ha! Sorry, my bad. It's his son's work. They worked in very similar style. That's why I didn't recognize him from me thirst glance. Check out both!

    Thanks for all your comments!

    Thank you Irina, I had posted about Evgeny (I spelled it Yevgeny based on a book I have; these different transliterations always confuse me), but I didn't know that Nikita was his son!
