ABOUT ME

I love the intersection of different disciplines. It is hard and challenging, but when you succeed it gives you a tons of positive feeling and the hope for a future. Most interesting think is to act in a group of people who are different - the output of such a group is terrific!

Interessi

I am a comics artist. Together with friends we are constantly doing new things around comics - this is the way it could grow and flourish. We do weekly Drink'n'Draw sessions, when anybody can enter the bar, come to our table and make fun with group thinking and drawing of comic strip. During the year we do also the Jumbo Comics - it is a giant strip that we draw on a big banner - 30 meter long and 1.6 m wide. Then we install it in public spaces of cities, leave the paint on the ground and let the youth to color the strip. This all is something!

I also enjoyed my formal work, I am an agriculture specialist with experience in rural development. Last 20 years are a special challenge for Armenia: life was changed drastically from the planned economy to more open system, bringing with it a new challenges and unknown things. Interaction with farmers, communication with agricultural decision makers in the ministry - it could be considered as hard, but at the same time I learn a lot from it. Besides, sometimes you manage to do a real staff and get high from this accomplishment.

When I stay long in the city my batteries got empty. I need a fresh air, a long road in mountains, a full moon night nearby the tent. I used to go every year to the mountains far far away, when my friends keep bees. I was going there when it is a time to subtract honey from combs and there is 3-4 days or real hard work.

I've good friends, actually I have some close ones from the secondary school times. It is a special joy to hang around with old pals, now one is in Russia, another works for a state, another one is businessman. But when we get together we became the same teenagers.

And of course, I love my family, including lovely daughters and Mom and brother's family. In general I love my big family, cousins and their children, brother-in-law. They'll not betray you. They are here.

Musica, film e libri

Russian Rock. John Lennon. Old giants like Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin. Jazz, esp bee-bop. A lot of other music - easy listening, rock n roll. It depends on mood and a company. Classical and national music is not excluded.
The same with movies. Now I enjoy broadcasting of James Bond by TV - really like the old ones, when he's a spy and not a superman like in the last episodes. Clint Eastwood. Paul Newman and Robert Redford. Rutger Hauer. BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD !!!!!!!!!I LOVE THEM!!!!!
