fairy-tale worlds Exclusive Interview with ANASTASIA LAVRU 1. Could you tell us a bit about who you are, what you do, and where you are in the world right now? I live in Moscow. I’ve illustrated just one book for now. I mainly draw for commercial projects and do art commissions for people all around the world. I’ve also created several “How to draw” lessons for my website. The most important thing for me is that the commissions reflect my creativity and are interesting to me, because this is when I am most satisfied with the outcome. 2. Where did you grow up? How was your childhood like? I grew up in a small Russian city. My parents have their own house, and large fields surrounded our house back then. In summer we wandered in the tall grass, rode bicycles, swam in the river, in winter we sledged down the hills. I often dreamed of secluded beautiful places, which were few in our city — later I would draw these fantasies in my pictures.
