In 2010 he organised the first and the only plenary among graffiti and street art artists of Russia in St. Petersburg, where artists worked on canvases. Subsequently he organised 2 exhibitions of these and other works of graffiti and  streetart artists of Russia. (Graffiti as Art).

In 2012 he organised his own studio of commercial design of spaces, branding and branding, interior design and graphic design VSEVDEKOR working all over Russia, where he himself participates in projects as an artist, illustrator and designer, as well as other young and active graffiti artists and designers.

In 2019 he developed his own technique of creating art works -crumplism (crumplism from the English word crumple -crumple), where the main element of the technique is the crumpling of paper, its spray painting in a crumpled state and further unfolding and fixation.
She is constantly searching for new forms of visual fine art, therefore among the works there are also copies in other techniques.
