The illustrator Landysh has been drawing since childhood, although her mother didn't approve of her pursuing art studies. Despite never formally studying art, having graduated from a linguistic university instead, Landysh's illustrations are fueled by her passion, determination, and deliberate effort.
Landysh said she's wanted to be an artist since she was little, and that dream keeps her going. "I capture small beautiful moments from my life. I think I mostly do it for myself, just to remember or relive certain moments, because from time to time I look through my comics and smile. I also do it for other people. I know for sure some share my comics with each other and it sparkles a conversation and laughs. They remember their own little moments."
The comics are inspired by the artist's own life experiences. She finds that the best time to brainstorm ideas is just before going to sleep. "I lie thinking about my day and my cats and images come to my mind."
When asked about the moments she chooses to portray in her comics, the artist responded that she feels she creates them mainly for her own enjoyment. "Maybe sometimes for my friends and family who have seen and know these situations. Trying to predict what your followers or the general public will like is a dead end. Things happen in my life, or I observe things my cats do, for example, and I want to remember them. They are like a big memory book! Additionally, these comics bring laughter to my friends and family, and that's priceless. As for how I choose these moments, there are no particular criteria. These little moments just make me happy."
