My name is Marat Abishev, and I’m an illustrator with over 15 years of experience in commercial art and interior murals. For the past 5 years, I’ve been crafting a unique illustration style that combines intricate details, playful storylines, and a touch of nostalgia.
My illustrations revolve around the whimsical world of raccoons—adorable characters who love to tinker, build, and dive into retro-inspired adventures. While the humor and charm easily capture the attention of children, I also weave subtle references and themes that resonate with adults. Think of it as storytelling through layers: playful enough to entertain little ones, yet complex enough to keep grown-ups intrigued.
I enjoy adding interactive elements to my illustrations, such as puzzles, mazes, or mini-narratives that invite viewers to explore deeper. My style is warm, detailed, and filled with personality, often drawing inspiration from DIY aesthetics and vintage vibes.
I work in both traditional and digital mediums, using tools like pencils, watercolors, Procreate, and Photoshop. This flexibility allows me to adapt to a variety of projects while maintaining the attention to detail and narrative quality that define my work.
