The author Squirrel

 When I asked my nephew what it looks like, he said - a white bear. The guy said - the wolf, and my mother, "Oh, leave me alone as well." Then I decided to find a picture of the author, who calls it a squirrel, and ask how to live the modern artists, if I could draw a picture and if needed talent.

Find the artist was extremely easy, and arrange an interview with him - unbelievable. His name is Jenya Klazki, and his paintings go to "color" at the same rate that Makfluri on Manezh Square in the summer. In an interview he is not interested, because even talking about the fact he had no time favorite - it is necessary to create a squirrel. But one day he told me yet. The style of our conversation belochey fully preserved.

JL: Squirrel-squirrel! This shout millions of our readers.

Jenya Klazki:Hi!

JL: Hello back!

Jenya Klazki: I have not forgotten about you. I think.

JL: Think about the birth of Protein!

Jenya Klazki: I can not. How do you imagine it? Everyone has his own thoughts and feelings. And I do not want to know about mine.

JL: Greedy, or what?

Jenya Klazki: No.

JL: But talk about the process - not to share feelings.

Jenya Klazki: If I tell you, it will be gone mystic. The process is simple: I have them come up. And I draw. This is the process.

JL: Did you graduate from something artistic?

Jenya Klazki: Yes I Am. Hudgraf.

JL: And to them that you drew?

Jenya Klazki: It is also interesting. Misc. Aliens drew one time.

JL: Your proteins - this is the aliens. Alien proteins.

Jenya Klazki: Probably. But those were green.

JL: Say, apparently they do not like squirrels, you know it. But to call their proteins. Interesnichaesh so?

Jenya Klazki: Here it was the first squirrel:

JL: Another thing.

Jenya Klazki: Now they are a little different.

JL: Ovolchilis.

Jenya Klazki: But it's the same image.

JL:How long have you paint them?

Jenya Klazki: 9 years.

JL: Wow!

Jenya Klazki:At intervals. In Moscow, a long time I did not draw anything.

The author Squirrel

JL:Tell us how you see the world? Or Moscow, for example.

Jenya Klazki:Usual. Plain.

JL:I just want to understand: Sometimes you, or just a simple guy who paints protein.

Jenya Klazki: Simple.

JL:I do not believe.

Jenya Klazki: In the subway, I especially anything from the other passengers did not differ.

JL: You build a simpleton. And he was still himself.

Jenya Klazki: Yes I Do?

The author Squirrel

JL: When I saw the first protein, thought the artist was crazy. In a good way. And it's all one protein in various guises?

Jenya Klazki:Various proteins. Now I like to be funny and sad images. And they can be obtained.

JL: I often look at them. When you look at them, you see?

Jenya Klazki:Canvas and paint. Thought. Again, you're talking about my feelings! Much more interesting as my work affects others. And I do not like to treat him.

JL:And how are you proteins affect others, share their thoughts with you?

Jenya Klazki: It seems they all like.

The author Squirrel

JL:And that brings you income? As I understand it, you work is not an artist? Not in the sense of belochnikom?

Jenya Klazki: Slightly off belochnikom. Designer, illustrator, art director.

JL:It is the profile. This character for almost a decade not bored you? Do not think about the new? About Kotik there.

Jenya Klazki: No. And on the seals were not thinking.

The author Squirrel

JL: Is there a number? Do you think their protein?

Jenya Klazki: No.

JL:Painted, sold, remember?

Jenya Klazki: I would leave them all yourself. But I like to buy them. I gave so many friends.

JL:I like that they have a new home, or fee?

Jenya Klazki: A very small fee. But nice anyway. Like what they like people.

The author Squirrel

JL: Proteins on canvas, wood, plywood, what else?

Jenya Klazki:Cartoon has one koryavenko. But I love him.

JL:Here. Finally. You love your protein?

Jenya Klazki:You must love them. Or dislike. And I simply create.

JL: I love, yes. You feelCreator?

Jenya Klazki: Well, more of the same, no one came up with a squirrel. Brain - my creator.

JL: In fact, the squirrel came up with God.

Jenya Klazki: Wash my hands.

The author Squirrel

JL: You always want to draw them or there is no mood? I do not want to use the word "inspiration", but talking about it.

Jenya Klazki:At night, after work, always in no mood to still work. I force myself.

JL: You're starving artist or tired?

Jenya Klazki: Neither.

JL:There contemporaries who impressed you?

Jenya Klazki:What?

JL:Like someone who lives in the same time with you, and is engaged in creativity?

Jenya Klazki: I just talk and such. All enjoy.

JL: How do I draw a picture of itself?

Jenya Klazki:In any way. You do not know how to draw.

JL: So what. Something abstract. On the question of whether the necessary talent?

Jenya Klazki: What is needed, I guess.

JL: Did you feel it? If you stop shy, finally.

Jenya Klazki: Talent something? And then! In muscles. Sheburshitsya.

The author Squirrel

JL: As a normal, decent artist, you are depressed?

Jenya Klazki:Nope. I always drunk.

JL:Your life, lifestyle unusual? You're beautiful you live?

Jenya Klazki:Very nice, all in gold. Even a jar of water. And washing hands.

JL: I'm fed up with you?

Jenya Klazki:Not really.

JL:And you can picture the place where you draw?

Jenya Klazki:I paint in my thoughts.

JL:And actually. Transferred to the paper where?

JL: You are my neighbor, dammit!

Jenya Klazki: Yes I Do?

The author Squirrel

JL: Can I use your answers in the material? Without distorting them, of course.

Jenya Klazki:In any case.

JL: That is, I can not tell our dialogue even partially? After all, there are worthy moments. I do not listen then.
