tal distractions of the small, cute but irritating bird?
If we look around us, we notice that people have
changed a lot for ten years. The fast way of life
brought the stress, traumas and the lack of time
to eliminite all those. Everything influences on the
mental health. It is enough to listen to the conversation between two nervous persons and you
already have an idea for the comic. The inspiration has frequently come from the situations with
the friends, family, from the work... It happens that
some real life event becomes a comic, without any
editing, but sometimes I think for a long time about some topic. I try to represent the idea with little
words, so I go back to the story and edit it for several times in order to be concise, but clear. However,
minimalism in words doesn’t work every time.
Admit, how many times has it helped you to control
your anger! I must admit it looks to me like a very
attractive way of relieving. Do you give the vent to
yourself on that way, or those are mostly good jokes?
Hm, “ little way of relieving”... The each author
brings in itseld what he creates. In the period
when BRD was appearing, I was constantly under
the huge stress. Everything that happend around
me or in myself, createdd the huge pressure that it
had to be reduced somehow. It was needed to say
honestly what had created and pressured me, without hurting somebody else. As a means of expression I chose the comics, because I always relax
myself when I draw, and I remembered of the rejected character of the bird, so I made him as a main
protagonist. Now, when I think about that choice, I
think that I have combined unconsciously the character of innocent appearance with the dark mind.
It is now that I realise that there is a serious reason
for that. That is how I started to work because of
myself and for myself without any plans. (I know, it
sounds egoistic, but it helped me a lot)
The comic in the beginning was the vent for my
frustrations. And now it is, but to a less extent than
before. The all evil I couldn’t do or say in reality, I
said through the bird. Of course, sometimes it happens that I have just snapped, and I don’t mana45
