I came across Vladimir’s work online not too long ago, and immediately wanted to connect and feature him.  For me, his work is what I equate with a “play on words,” though he explains it much more eloquently.  Enjoy!

Were you creative as a child?  If so, how have you evolved through the years?  Did anyone encourage you, especially?

I grew up in a family with high cultural values. At the time of my childhood, Russia was still behind an iron curtain and the only way to see exotic and unusual places was by traveling in my own imagination. Books that provoked such imagination were always on my family bookshelves.  I grew exotic plants from seeds and cuttings only to travel with them to their native countries.
