Hoar_

Greetings!
My name is Mikhail (aka Hoar), I am a cosplayer, propmaker and artist from St. Petersburg, Russia. I work in a small workshop that I rent with two friends, where we make various costume details and props to order. I've been into postcrossing for almost 9 years.
I love nature and, since I am a craftsman, I believe in any physical, structural manifestation of nature in our life :) I like artisan materials, unusual organic shapes, trees and wood, wool and fur, calm natural colors.

I'll be glad to receive any postcard from you, but I also have a lot of topics that I will be especially happy about:
- Halloween
- Old & illustrated maps of your city or country
- Autumn, pumpkins, mushrooms, leaves, oak and acorns, branches and roots
- Botanical and encyclopedic illustrations of animals, plants, human body, minerals, space, all kinds of materials, etc.
- Folklore, fairytales, pagan rituals, myths & legends
- Artisans, traditional clothing, patterns and ethnic life
- Ancient civilizations, archaeological finds, historical armor
- Coins, jewelry, amulets, totems, masks & costumes
- Medieval art, gothic calligraphy, kings & knights, alchemy, stained glass, churches and graveyards
- Krampus, devil, skeletons, imps, witches
- Fantasy creatures, cryptozoology, dragons, trolls, monsters, vampires and werewolves
- Wine, beer and mead, seafood, breakfasts, eggs, milk, vegetables, cheese and ham, bar signs
- Natural phenomena or ornaments, mountains, forests, icebergs
- Minimalistic watercolor etegami-like cards from Asian countries
- Bats, snakes, toads, wolves, bears, ravens, seals, puffins, seagulls, dinosaurs
- Cartoons from Aardman Animations, Winnie-the-Pooh, Studio Ghibli, Middle-Earth and Wizarding World

Everything natural and unnatural will be highly appreciated ;)

Some certain sets that I really like:
- Maps by J. Salmon Ltd from UK

- Watashidayori from Japan
- Rulers of the world
- Nisse by Kjell Einar Midthun & Lennart Helje
- Trolls by Rolf Lidberg (I have 35, 37, 38, 41, 55, 81)
- Harry Potter by Mark Braught
- Ghosts by Katherine Blower
- Belarusian Cuisine от Юрый Падвербны
- Andy Goldsworthy, Morris & Co

I don't have any of my favorited cards, so they are actual wishes!

It'll be nice if you can write on a postcard about the things that you love and that inspire you or about the myths and legends of your city. I really wish to read your recommendations if you interested in different fairy tales, watch cartoons, anime, TV series and horror movies or play various indie games :)
Thank you very much for your attention and I wish you all a happy postcrossing!
