Personal series of illustration. Like in series with interpretation of russian cities of coats of arms, the main idea was to create an interpretation that would be based on general elements of coat of arms. The illustration has been made according to the description and historical references.
This first compilation dedicated to countries that I've already visited. Russia is my homeland and I visited Ukraine and the Netherlands. And I hope this list will continue.
