I specialize in custom Cyrillic, Old Slavic and Old Church Slavonic inspired calligraphy, traditional tattoo lettering and graphic design.
My work combines historical scripts, medieval aesthetics and traditional tattoo influences. Every design is individually hand-drawn rather than made with standard fonts.
