"The Lifestyle of a Diplomat. Unofficial" 85 (2024) 图画 由 Alex Wolf
So you may find this print in a future book.
My novels are about espionage, love and betrayal. My hero Sasha accidentally ends up sharing a bed with a fugitive Russian diplomat.
I draw characters from real actors, they inspire me, but the similarity is purely accidental.

I write my novels because they have to be written. They contain the spirit of the times, the unspoken thoughts and feelings of millions of people who died in silence.
My heroes are traitors, defectors and fugitive diplomats. You could call them intellectual bastards. Doesn't matter. The time of positive heroes is over, they're boring me to death. I like men who run after ghosts, and live pipe dreams, that is, men like myself. They're more flexible, they choose which side to be on and what to do, and that's just a trait of an intelligent man. My heroes don't die, which is not surprising, they are quite sneaky and dodgy, they are spies, they are not accustomed to playing fair, they are accustomed to winning without shyness in means.
My novels begin when the fugitive diplomat on the other side asks for a cup of coffee. He falls asleep easily and wakes up with a random guy for whom every morning turns out to be an unpredictable nightmare. This is the kind of person I start about: he lived in the wrong time and slept in the wrong bed.
Many years ago I studied at the Repin Institute in St. Petersburg.
Now I have 12 novels and about 200 drawings in my portfolio. I draw on paper.
I plan to publish my first graphic novels this year. I devote all my time to my project.
