Visages

The St. Petersburg artist Masha Bogatova is one of the most famous representatives of the modern wave of independent comics. Through stories such as "Habitus", "Chronicles of Mishka", "Stress", and many others, Masha reveals what cannot be expressed in words.... Her detail-oriented stories about joys and anxieties, life and work, meetings and farewells have long settled in the hearts of thousands and thousands of readers. And soon we will open pre-orders for a key collection of the artist's main plots (for the first time in hardcover!). Under the cover, you will find all the comics about the shy Mishka and his friends, with whom the boy's life acquires new colors: in carefree conversations, walks, games, and, of course, gatherings in the cozy bar "Chronicles". Bonus: a completely new story "Nostalgic Dream of Mishka", which has not been released in print before. "When I read the comic 'Visages', I was transported to a state of pleasant nostalgia for a time gone by, full of lightness and carefreeness. The world that Masha has created seems so cozy that I want to settle there and stay forever." Timur Ahlayev (Begaka) — artist, ceramicist. "Several layers of perception of reality, fragments of precious memories and real images intertwine in the world created by Masha. Her touching style is capable of graphically expressing feelings and emotions that are difficult to articulate even in words, and the thoughts of readers inevitably turn inward in an attempt to understand what makes us ourselves and who we really are." Anya Smirnova (Conservi) — artist, blogger, 2D-model. "Masha's comic could be the script for a Wes Anderson film: each page is filled with visual magic and deep emotional power. This book makes me perceive reality as something cinematographic, giving my everyday life a special, magical atmosphere." Vanya Tatarinov — artist, musician.
