The collection contains sketches created by Oksana Ignashchenko in St. Petersburg (formerly Leningrad) in 1986 during the Chernobyl disaster. Later these works became the foundation for the most famous illustrated book of the artist — Buzzy-Wuzzy Busy Fly. The text content of the book is based on the Oksana Ignashchenko's memories of those times.
The book is the main bestseller of the artist; back in the early 1990s, it was distributed by many millions of printed copies. In the mid-2010s, all the illustrations were restored and published in the electronic version, which made it possible to present the work in color reproduction as close to the original as possible.
The collection of sketches will become an interesting discovery for a novice artist who will be able to trace the intricacies of the workflow. And the most attentive ones will be able to find many conceptual differences between sketches and the original book.
