Hi to all of you, good people))) That’s finally me, Halyna aka IneffableChocolateCheeseCake. Sorry for being silent or partially silent. I’ve read all the comments and tried to answer. If I haven’t still answered — I’m sorry, I will) I am really and deeply grateful to all of you who have donated and who support me and my little boys — my son Bohdan and Crowley the kitten. And my gratitude beyond measure goes to @scrapheapchallengeand@conniekottmannart  and @starryfull13, who have organised the fundraising. And Sarah Newton-Gray, who helped me to deal with ineffable British bureaucracy, talks to me every day and waits for us)   

Oh of course, the big miracle of that Easter Monday was Neil’s @neil-gaiman and Michael’s retweets. And the donation from some mysterious Mr. Fell. Suspiciously too Welsh. 

Also there was a miracle from the UK Home office — my British visa was approved. But there’s one more miracle I would ask the Creation to happen. My son is waiting for his visa. And I’m just praying for that one more little miracle.

But the biggest miracle of it all is that I have suddenly realised that I have a huge family. And it is scattered all over the globe. The Ineffable Family. Up to this moment I thought it was just me, my son and the cat. But, oh, how wrong I was! And luckily for me I was.

We are safe now) We are staying in Ramin, Germany, that’s the Vorpommern-Greifswald district, in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. We can stay here until May 29. The people here are very kind to us, but they can’t keep us any longer than May 29.

I was able to start working again. But I still can’t draw. Well, I hope I will draw again in a few days. But now I look at my own works and feel like it was someone else who did them.

This was the pic I started just before the russian invasion had begun. I had never finished it, it’s just the line art. This has the parallel with WWII, but goes back into Ukrainian history of long resistance to russian occupation (this war started long before February 24, 2022). Here Crowley is the leader of the division of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, and Aziraphale is either the school teacher or the librarian — one of those who had to keep the heart of the Ukrainian nation — its language.
