Portrait for a donation to the Australian Wildlife Fund
In January 2020, photos of fires in Australia flashed in all the news feeds.
Hundreds of sympathetic comments, sighs and questions: «What to do?!»
The answer came quickly: Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio, who is the UN peace ambassador, created the Australia Wildfire Fund, all of whose funds go to extinguish fires, their consequences and help animals.
I decided to make cartoon-style portraits, offering people to exchange them for donation to the fund.
Everyone determined the amount himself.
To create a portrait, I needed confirmation of the donation, several photographs and the history of the future heroes of the picture.
The action lasted a month: from January 6 to February 6, each carer received a print-quality A3 picture.

Alexey and Alesya
The guys told so many interesting things about themselves that would be enough for a whole illustration book. We chose the fish because, firstly, it is consonant with their last name, and secondly, they visit aquariums and oceanariums wherever they go.
