War is terrible. worse then enything else.
This is wrong. It make no sence. Nobody want it.
Please, dont hate all the russians for crazy decisions of our president. He is not all the russia. We live in the country where you go to jail even for a solitary picket. We live in dictatorship. We can`t do anything.
In our art communite russian and Ukraine artisrs are in one chat. We are a friends and never hated each other, trying to support eah other.
WE DO NOT WANT WAR!
WE DO NOT SUPPORT IT. NOBODY ASK US.
every day i open news feed and see new sanctions and condemnation by all countries. I dont see future. I feel stress and mental pain all the time.
For ethical reasons i just can`t submit anything now, can`t take new commissions even despite serious money problems.
just hope it ends soon

Seriously though, I'm so sorry not just for the Ukraine, but also for all the Russians who didn't want this to happen and are now suffering due to the sanctions... Sadly these sanctions are necessary, but the people don't deserve it... I do hope sincerely that this whole situation gets resolved quickly...
PS: If for ethical reasons you don't think you can work, take commissions or submit... there's a big artist movement going around right now where artists do sketches to collect donations. Maybe that's something for you: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10144271/
I refuse to let Putin and his plutocrat buddies ruin my opinion of Russia, or of Russians. I just hope for peace, for everyone's sake.
Stay safe, all right?
