Yaroslav Gerzhedovich was born in Leningrad in 1970, later graduating from the Nikolai Roerich Fine School of Arts. Gerzhedovich's works are always masterfully painted with his style echoing those of the old masters.
His graphic works are drawn in muted tones, resemble illustrations to nonexistent fictional novels and have found numerous fans after frequently popping up on the Internet. The World Wide Web became not only a means for sharing his artistic call to escape mundane reality for the world of fantasy but also a source of inspiration for the artist.
Gerzhedovich's art started taking on the new popular aesthetics of computer role-playing games like the World of Warcraft and integrating the style of the fantasy genre - in particular, the famous novels of Tolkien.
Gerzhedovich even wanted to create a series of illustrations for Tolkien's books because he was so impressed by the riches of their philosophical interpretations.
But the roots of Yaroslav Gerzhedovich's art don't just lie in popular culture as the artist also relates greatly to the philosophy of Martin Heidegger and Umberto Eco and enthusiastically studies the artistic heritage of Pieter Bruegel and Hieronymus Bosch.

I must admit that I am not very familiar with Robert Aickman’s fiction, besides a couple of short stories I didn’t get many chances to read his works. However, I have full confidence in Undertow Books and Michael Kelly, my experience with “Shadows & Tall Trees” magazine has been nothing by the best, while the first volume of “Year’s Best Weird Fiction”, the latest release of this small publishing house, looks extremely promising. You may rightfully ask why I am talking about these two. Well, Undertow Books recently announced its next scheduled book, “Aickman’s Heirs”, edited by Simon Strantzas and due to be released on spring 2015.
