Visages

Saint Petersburg artist Masha Bogatova is one of the most renowned representatives of the modern wave of independent comics. Through stories like "Habitus", "Chronicles of Mishka", "Stress", and many others, Masha reveals what cannot be expressed in words. Her detailed... stories about joys and anxieties, about life and work, about meetings and partings 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!). Inside the cover, you will find all the comics about the modest Mishka and his friends, with whom the boy's life gains 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 published in print before. "When I read the comic 'Visages', I was carried away into a pleasant nostalgia for the past, full of lightness and carefreeness. The world created by Masha seems so cozy that you want to settle there and stay forever". Timur A'loev (begaka) — artist, ceramicist. "Several layers of perception of reality, shards of precious memories and real images intertwine in the world created by Masha. Her poignant style can graphically express feelings and emotions that are difficult to articulate even in words, and readers' thoughts inevitably turn inward in an attempt to understand what makes us ourselves and what we really are". Anya Smirnova (Conservi) — artist, blogger, 2D model. "Masha's comic could become the script of a Wes Anderson film: each page is filled with visual magic and deep emotional power. This book makes me perceive reality as something cinematic, giving my everyday life a special, magical atmosphere". Vanya Tatarinov — artist, musician.
