Konstantin Komardin
Was born somewhere between Europe and Asia, where the climate of the Ural Mountains beneficially asserted its influence on his depraved mind and perverted imagination.
On catching sight of a piece of paper, he will without delay transfer to it something of the sweet little nightmares wandering in his head. Occasionally these pictures are arranged in a row and then add up to a story.
