My Hero

Fyodor Pavlov (warning for sexual content throughout site)

Fyodor Pavlov runs a personal/professional blog on their website Fyodor Pavlov  through a direct live feed to their Tumblr based web blog. It consists of anecdotes and pictures, and serves as a means for employers to look into their life. Their pictures are generally tied to current projects, such as the first few photo shoots on the actual blog.

I think it’s nice because Fyodor serves as an over the web inspiration and mentor of sorts. He helps showcase the corner of the world he lives in and even though he doesn’t blog in the same way other professionals do in his line of work, I’d say that it lends a sense of authenticity not found in many other mediums. 

When overlooking some of his posts, you know that his life is definitely avant garde, but his view point never strays too far from a professional demeanor. His web presence is bulky and difficult to maneuver around, so as far as blog set up, I have my issues; though looking past it is easy for the quality of work and information.

There’s not very many external links, but he does self promotion and promotion for other LGBTQ+ artists within his community. One of my favorite things he does since he’s on tumblr is that he weblogs master posts with interesting facts about art and upcoming events that you can scope out.

It goes without saying that Fyodor is an artistic inspiration of mine, but he also is a role model for the kind of online presence I’d like to have–if not a tad bit more sfw. If you have the time and stomach for some lewd things, he’s a pioneer in his field. Fyodor began blogging before expanding his career, so the entire blog has a lived in feeling. Overall, the quality of work is exceptional–if not hard to maneuver in a web setting–and he stands as one of my favorite artists and bloggers.
