A striking perspective on illustration. The Hollywood‑born artist Christopher Askew has spent many years fascinated by old‑school American tattoo art, and that influence slips, almost imperceptibly, into his visual style. Even in these portraits of Bulgakov’s characters you can sense a subtle echo of classic Americana ink.

  • Fagott

    Artwork #1 | Mikhail Bulgakov, “The Master and Margarita”
  • Behemoth—vodka in one paw and, of course, a little mushroom on a fork in the other

    Artwork #2 | Mikhail Bulgakov, “The Master and Margarita”
  • Azazello. “A very similar Browning is drawn” (although this is a quote from another work by Bulgakov)

    Artwork #3 | Mikhail Bulgakov, “The Master and Margarita”
  • And Mikhail Afanasyevich himself

    Artwork #4 | Mikhail Bulgakov, “The Master and Margarita”

And there's much more to see!
