Cossacks are Coming! The Cossacks are Coming!

[John Gilinsky]

Hello all. Partially based on some requests to see more of my work please find below my first semi-formal attempt produced around 1999 to 2000 of a Russian cossack derived but essentially mythological imagianative

Russian figure. It is a semi-caricature with the exaggerated nose, handlebar mustache and that hair! I loved making it with the garlic press that was shown to me as to how to get those long thin strips!

Thanks again,

Ivan, [ aka John ]
