A non-commissioned portrait of "П".
Back in 2014, when Russia invaded and subsequently annexed the Crimean Peninsula, I came up with the idea for "Person of the Year" Time cover (in fact, Time magazine did award "Person of the Year" title to "П" back in 2007). It showed Vladimir Putin wearing a Russian white, blue and red Special Forces balaclava. I also used Ukrainian blue and yellow colour palette for the background to give some visual context of the situation in Ukraine. Even though this illustration was created 7 years ago, it seems equally relevant today :(
The illustration was drawn and coloured with Wacom Tablet in PS.
