"On the Tundra" Illustrated by: Lenny Lishchenko
Published by: Inhabit Education

A early childhood book about the various things you can see on the tundra. 

An illustration series about the feeling you have in mid summer where it's too hot to sleep, your sheets are sticking to your sweaty skin and your boyfriend produces enough body heat to sustain a small mountain Scandinavian village.

The feeling where it's something close to daybreak and everything is quiet and muted and still and suddenly everything is simpler. Everything seems at once way too big and very very small and you wonder if you have indigestion or if you're hallucinating from being awake for so long.

You resolve to buy a bigger bed.

An unapologetic love letter to my hometown, Kyiv, Ukraine. Complete with chestnut trees, streets straight out of a literary manuscript, and gilded churches as far as the eye can see. 

I have spent many a time at the Square One Go station and even more times at the mall itself. I figured after over 20 years of living here, my adopted hometown Mississauga deserved its own illustration. 

For Alberta Venture's December issue I had the pleasure of illustrating the table of contents as well as a 3 page comic on the Fort McMurray fire. Words by Robbie Jeffrey.

Comic can be read online here: http://albertaventure.com/2016/12/fort-mcmurrays-long-road-back/

An illustration of some of my most vivid memories of being a grimy village kid. The one kid who's way too tall to be under the age of 14, the perpetually grimy twins with questionable fashion sense, putting hours into training a newt being an acceptable way to spend your time, the omnipresence of the soccer ball, and how effective of a lamp fireflies in old coke bottles make.

Editorial piece on summer reading, featuring some of my favourite things: reading, sleeping in the shade and picnic blankets.

Everyone Dies (The End) is a 250 page full-colour, novel 2.0 that I wrote, illustrated, typeset and designed. A hybrid between a traditional illustrated novel, a comic book, and a collection of snarky diagrams, Everyone Dies (The End) is a work of words and pictures that explores the relationship between the two.

This is a story about a victory-lap high school student , a shape-shifting immortal being, and a sentient octopus. It’s about loss and heartbreak, discovery and coming of age, numerous bad jokes and realizing that the world will go on without ever remembering you unless you do something worth remembering.
It's about a cephalopod who has better aim in snowball fights than a military trained sniper, an alcoholic with a gambling addiction who for some reason is responsible for the survival of the human race, and a seriously major lack of communication.

A story about 3 roommates, endless shenanigans, and what it means to be human.

I spent a lot of my childhood playing glow-in-the-dark manhunt in the woods at the cabin my family had up north. This is a mostly accurate re-enactment.

A series of gifs based off of jobs I had through high school and college that paid for my transportation and not much else.

A series from my final illustration thesis; a novel that I wrote about Death, a high school dropout named Vega, and Death's pet octopus, Phil.

My piece for a group show "il Dolce Dieci”, a retrospective on years of Sheridan BAA alumni and their experiences studying abroad in Florence, Italy.

Florence was life-changing for me. I realized that all I want now is to eat pizza, take mid-day siestas, paint everything tinged in yellow ochre and always feel like I'm on the cusp of something amazing.
