Description Never again! Never again! Two weeks in Moscow, -35C, four root canals, two crowns, first solo exhibition and a heartbreaking farewell at the airport.

I'm now back to comatose sunny LA. Homesick and jetlagged.

Ta-ta.

PS. I've explained myself in my later pieces. Feel free to ignore those. However, if you’d like to buy this print or something from here [link] , please, let me know, myownself@gmail.com.

I was born and lived in Russia until 7 years old. Once I had to go to a dentist, they took 3 children in at the same time. So they had to pull a tooth out. Lets just say, there was a lot of blood - they did something wrong, it hurt like hell and I got three shots, which didnt work !!!

Just wanna let you know, I know how you feel I am still scared of dentists...

The pain and horrid fear in the expression is just right on the mark. The shadow of two people in the eyes is also very intimidating.. ^scared^

This is VERY VERY WELL DONE!!

P.S. The quality... and the skin texture... wow just great.
