Andréi Arinouchkine is a comic artist originally from Baranovichi, Belarus. He made his first painting at age 12, and enrolled at the School of Fine Arts in Minsk at age 15. Because of the Cold War, he had to cut short his studies and join the army. He eventually finished his studies, and upon graduation did his first illustration work for children's publications. After the fall of communism, Arinouchkine began an association with the Russian publisher AST. He made dozens of illustrations for science fiction and children's books, and released his first comic, 'Waterloo', with the Russian publisher Makhaon in 1993.…Comiclopedia
