Heyyy!Hello, everyone ~
This is a bit of a casual post where I just want to clarify a few things that have been really bothering me very much. So please don’t take anything negatively—it means a lot to me. Thank you so much :..)
As many of you probably noticed, I’m a Russian artist with a fairly limited knowledge of English. Moreover, I studied English throughout all my school years and even for four years in college, but I still haven’t fully mastered it. Maybe it’s due to laziness or other reasons—but somehow, this so interesting language just doesn’t come easily to me (though I genuinely love it for some reason).
So why is this post written so decently in English (at least grammatically and logically)? Because my wonderful partner translates every single one of my posts so you can read them comfortably and even repost them without cringe (I can’t promise anything about the actual content, huh).
Here’s the dilemma, though: sometimes you leave comments or ask questions (AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT—THANK YOU SO MUCH, SERIOUSLY!!!! Please never stop writing if you feel like it :..D). On one hand, I really want to reply properly so you don’t feel like you’re talking to a caveman. On the other hand, I don’t want to constantly bother my partner and also making you wait (because I ALWAYS read your comments as soon as they come in, and I REALLY want to reply right away).
I just wanted you to know: if I reply to you, there’s a very good chance the English text was translated using a translator or AI. It’s really important to me that you feel seen and heard. In the Russian art community, commenting often feels almost taboo—many Russian artists actually feel a bit awkward or distant when followers interact with them (most interactions are just likes without any emotion). Comments are basically legendary artifacts over there, huh (at least for simple folks like me), and we truly treasure in our hearts every single word you write. Maybe there’s something special about that—I’m not sure. Anyway, the whole dynamic between creators and followers feels delicate to me. That’s why I cling to every bit of engagement you show me here.
All of this is just to say—please don’t stress too much about my replies, and try to accept this little flaw of mine.
I just want to share my art with you, bring you joy, and make sure you feel comfortable interacting with me.
And please don’t hesitate to point out any language mistakes—I’ll gladly accept them, because I know you’re just trying to help. I’m naturally a bit anxious, but every word you say truly matters to me.
Thank you again so much for taking the time to read this. It really, really means a lot to me.

p.s.
For those of you who ask about commissions in the comments—I do see your requests! I just haven’t been taking commissions from foreign clients yet. I’m still figuring out how everything works these days, so until I get more comfortable with the process, I won’t be accepting them. (Just wanted to clarify in case you were wondering)
