Who would you say inspired you as an artist growing up?
- Many of them, but especially Frank Bellamy.
What was the point in your life where you considered yourself a professional artist and why?
- I never thought so about myself, but I created art from always. It is in my mind.
If you could give one bit of advice to all those aspiring artists out there, what would you say?
- Much work in order to do the personal style. Not to imitate other.
Do you think that your overall role as an artist beyond just being a sequential artist plays a role in the unique quality of your sequential art.
- Yes. To my style a painting is enjoying considerable influence. From the education I am an artist-painter. The comic book turned up at my life from the domestic need. It is this way until today.
No doubt you have been able to capture the feel of the various characters of the Five. Of the various members of the team, did you have a personal favorite that you enjoyed working on more than the rest?

What are you currently working on?
- I am doing series of an oil paintings about the subject matter "Space art". I am also doing sketches to the comic book "Dark of planet-s substance". It is a SF thriller telling about the planet of the lacking own star, alone drifting in the space. The planet is very old. People are discovering large secret. It is story to the measure "Prometheus".
Besides the Five # 1 for Affinity Press, what other projects are you working on?
-I would like still to work for Affinity Storm Press but this directed question to A.S.P. what next are planning. As I mentioned I am working above "Dark of planets...", but I still have a few projects. If "The Five" will be a success certainly I will present them.
