August 15, 2006A Russian magazine called Khooligan which seems to be a 'Lads mag' along the same lines as GQ or Loaded has contacted me requesting material to do a feature on Biro-art for the September issue. They supplied me with a PDF copy of the last issue and it certainly looks like the sort of dynamic, kinetic layout design that's associated with mens' 'lifestyle' magazines. Unfortunately though, it's all in Russian so I can't understand a word of it! The Features Editor, Stanislav, requested that I answer some questions for the feature and provide some high resolution images. He's most interested in the ANThology series, requesting seven biro drawings from it and asking all the questions around ants generally. How does one answer a question like "have you had personal relations with ants?" I hope I've answered all his questions with wit and humour but it concerns me that any word-play will be lost in translation to Russian. Does the Russian for 'sponge' mean both 'absorbant' and 'freeloader' like it does in English?
I have to admit to feeling a little trepidation to providing high resolution images to a complete stranger over the internet, but I've checked it out as best as I can and it seems to be legitimate. I'm very protective over my drawings but sometimes it pays to take a risk. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
