“I started [an Instagram account] where I live in a parallel reality, full of strange technologies and even stranger creatures,” Solovyov shared on Russia Beyond. “I start discussions about imaginary problems in the city, and talk about the habits of the monsters living there.”

Scroll down and take a look at his creations. Which one is your favorite? Can you imagine living in a world where giant creatures ruled the streets of your home city?

Когда меня в детстве привозили на дачу, я искренне не понимал, зачем родители первым делом избавлялись от одуванчиков на участке. Чем могут быть опасны одуваны? Теперь, конечно, мне всё понятно. Стоит упустить момент, и вместо газонокосилки придется взять в руку топор. ____ When I was brought to the countryside as a child, I sincerely did not understand why my parents first got rid of dandelions on the site. How can dandelions be dangerous? Now, of course, I understand everything. It is worth missing the moment, and instead of a lawnmower, you will have to take an axe in your hand. . #арт #фотошоп #art #photoshop #edit #вадимсоловьев

Знаменитая гигантская гм-горилла Эдуард с его одноименной шоу-программой «Блистательный Эдуард» приехал в Петербург чтобы дать несколько своих концертов в Цирке на Фонтанке. К сожалению, организаторы не приняли во внимание размеры Эдуарда, предложив ему для выступлений эту площадку. Теперь гм-горилла, в ожидании обратного рейса, скучает на крыше цирка, изредка делая замечания водителям, не соблюдающим правила парковки. А ведь я взял два билета на его шоу 🙁 ____ The famous giant GM gorilla Eduard with his eponymous show program "Eduard The Brilliant" came to St. Petersburg to give several concerts at the circus on Fontanka. Unfortunately, the organizers did not take into account the size of Eduard, offering him this place for performances. Now the GM gorilla, waiting for the return flight, gets bored on the roof of the circus, occasionally making remarks to drivers who do not comply with Parking rules. In fact, I took two tickets to his show 🙁 . #арт #фотошоп #art #photoshop #edit #вадимсоловьев

Каждую весну перед дачным сезоном – одно и тоже! Пожилые пенсионерки вынуждены, буквально мётлами, отбиваться от назойливых «майских ящеров». Дело в том, что эти рептилии сходят с ума от запаха рассады на подоконниках в жилых домах. И единственная возможность избавиться от их внимания – поскорее уехать на дачу. ____ Every spring before the summer season is the same thing! Elderly pensioners are forced, literally with brooms, to fend off annoying «May lizards». The fact is that these reptiles go crazy from the smell of seedlings on window sills in residential buildings. And the only way to get rid of their attention is to go to the country house as soon as possible . #арт #фотошоп #art #photoshop #edit #вадимсоловьев
