Oleg Tischenkov was born and raised in Smolensk. He has been working in illustration since he was 17 years old, when he received his first commission for his drawings from a newspaper. In 1993 with the advent of computers his interest shifted to computer art and media art, and he became one of the pioneers of computer graphics in Russia. For a long time he worked as a full-time illustrator at Lebedev Studio. Today he continues to collaborate with the studio. 10 years ago while working at the studio Oleg first conceived a series of one-page comics about the man and the cat. Today the series is perhaps the best-known comic in our country. Oleg now resides in Canada.
