My piece for the Gag Me With a Toon 4 exhibit:
Cheburashka’s Holiday 8×10” color pencils on paper. Sold.
Cheburashka and Krokodil Gena are Soviet era characters from a stop-motion animation. They’re not especially well-known in the West, but Japan adores Cheburashka almost as much as I do! Here is the original, feature-length Cheburashka, for when you have an hour to spare.
!! love the cheburashka. i remember learning about him in first year russian. i wish i had found some cheburashka memorabilia when i lived in russia to take back to the states. kak zhal!

Bahhh, I love your piece! Such great expressions! Will check the film out as soon as I can.
Nice piece. I know about 6 words of Russian in total, but I still really enjoyed that film. Thanks for the introduction!
