What is Rostovjanka?

Rostovjanka is a kind of dance, a dance of life, live life like a dance. Explosion of colour and music and joy, loud and proud, made of passion and dedication, Faustian bargains and something outrageous. Dance life to a balkan beat to live the good life and make the good art.

A fantasy of a life thats more than clicking computers, made by clicking computers. 

Rostovjanka is also the umbrella name for the 3 drop print sale extravaganza this summer of 2026.

The first drop is named FANTASTIKA.

What is FANTASTIKA?

Fantastika is the gift of fantasy. Imagined worlds far from rent, tax, and all the rest.

Gardens of the mind where we go to rest: the eternal summer of Silmarillion, Nirn, or a galaxy far far away. In them we are incorporeal, beyond the harm of touch. Floating observers of pure consciousness looking in through the window of the mind.

Float above and follow heroes through peril and adventure. See something dangerous and cool. Meet gods, monsters, and simple human warmth. Cover cosmic distances, glimpse past and future, witness different ways of life.

Even our own history is just verified fantasy.

Series exclusivity

This is the first ever Rostov print sale. Each limited-edition print is numbered and titled to this series, and will never be printed under this name again after this summer.

Certain works may return in future collections under new titles, with continued numbering, but this series ends here.

Signing

Each work is titled, numbered and signed by hand, in pencil below the image. The print will be named to the series, and the series is limited to this summer, this event, the first ever. Your print will read something like this:

"Universal Signal" (2011) - # 7 - FANTASTIKA - 2026 - RSTV

Printi Numbering

Numbers 1–5 are reserved for Patron Editions. Larger prints in handmade frames under museum-grade glass, limited to five ever. Each comes with a certificate, a thank-you note, and a few hand-drawn sketches. For the patron of the art, patron of my art.

Nr 6 I keep for myself, the artist copy. If one is ever spotted in the wild suspect thievery or close friendship. 

Standard Series begins at 7 and goes up every purchase, until the end of the sale, and will never be printed again under current series title. 

Any future prints will be sold under future series title, with continued numbering. Smaller number is cooler.

What is a giclée print?

Giclée print is an archival quality fine art reproduction. Printed on acid free paper, using high quality inks that resist fading and yellowing. Enjoy bright colours for a lifetime and more.

How to handle prints

The images are resistant to fading, but sensitive to scuffs and can damage easily if mishandled.

Please frame the images immediately, or store safely until framing. An accidental scrape with a fingernail can compress paper fibre such that it will reflect light differently, and become visible from certain angles.

A good frame with museum quality glass will protect the artwork from accidents and UV light.

Framing

The smaller prints are measured to match frames available from IKEA, larger ones may not match as well.

It is of course much cooler to hire an artisan to frame the images well and proper, or scavange an old frame from some thrift market. Dont leave the prints laying around unframed, they can damage easily.

Patron Edition prints will come framed.

Prohibitive shipping costs mean Standard Edition will have to be framed after shipping by yourself.

Shipping

Prints will be shipped a few weeks after the end of the drop, via delivery service in an envelope or postal tube, depending on size. The print will be packaged with silk paper to protect  the surface from scratches in transit. When receiving the prints, please handle with care as the surface of the print can be scuffed easily and frame the print as soon as possible.

Standard Edition

is high quality giclee print on acid free paper, resistant to aging and fading. Numbered, titled to the series and signed. The prints are limited to the duration of the sale event and will never be sold under the same series again.

Buying Patron signals patronship, helps cover studio rent and materials, makes future fun things possible. Buying Patron signals wealth and taste, and blesses your household. The smaller the number, the cooler.
