About Oleh

Hey there! My name is Oleh ( Oleg ). Heard some people in here might want to bore themselves to death with my personal back story.

I was born into a pretty poor family in arguably the poorest area of the whole country, in a household where almost everyone draws for some reason... Well, I couldn't draw for a long time myself so I was more interested in other creative endeavors such as making up stories. When I was a kid I even invented what I guess regular people know as a tabletop role-playing game (???) (Yeah, we didn't have those, so I didn't know they had already been invented). To put it crudely, as time went on I built up so much experience writing stuff as a kid that a lot of people commenced telling me that my writing was suspiciously adequate for someone who has never had anything published before and that I definitely need to make money doing exactly that. So I listened to them and started writing professionally, or so I thought... To be absolutely transparent, no, it didn't really help me much in my search for a job. The problem was and still is that no one really cares that you've been writing something under the table for the last 10 years, people usually desire something already favored, a published work, and generally, a writer wrapped in a gift box yet underpaid.

I started drafting short stories as a hobby as far back as 2008 and by 2012, I finally found some chip job as a comic book writer, which ultimately failed, yes. So currently, as a screenwriter, a self-proclaimed one, mind you, I create mostly experimental sci-fi horror. I am interested, however, in all kinds of weird stories. Big X-files and Doctor Who fan, which has had a huge impact on my work.

I also operate as a part-time graphic designer with my left hand so to speak, so, if anyone is curious, all the images uploaded here are apparently made by me. (???) I even do some composing, mainly for personal projects, but we're not talking about that here...

Unique traits: I like to use "over the top" and "out of there" concepts.
