“I fell in love with drawing as a child, although no one at home drew. My inspiration was rock music, mainly art rock: Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Jethro Tull, Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd. Then there was a big break due to the demands of everyday life. About 10 years ago I felt the need to draw again and began to master information technologies. After that I got involved in the design of logos, vinyl album covers for electronic music, music bar interiors in Europe and even a science magazine in Scotland.”
In 2018 he drew several covers for singles of Russian hip-hop performer Husky (song "Judas", album "The Gospel of the Dog").
In 2020 Aleks made covers for a new edition of Viktor Pelevin’s books (published by Russian largest publishing house EKSMO).
