A bit of creative style.
Favorite artist Igor Mezheritskaya became Debyuffe. It is based on his work Petersburg artist, though he passes through their own views of the world and the issues surrounding the person. If in his work Debyuffe relied on graffiti art insane people, the leg Mezheritskaya - is posters, publications, media, which he expresses in caricature form.
In his pictures, Igor Mezheritskii does not care about the transition from one color to another. Color nuances in his paintings are missing. Sometimes his paintings are reminiscent of children's drawings, in which each element or figure outlined with a thick black outline.
Very often the artist completes his paintings with inscriptions, which complement the story with a picture on one side, and closer to the other comics.
The artist does not seek to make heroes of their picture perfect, they are rude, sloppy. The brighter the color is, the better.
