Winter. The first month of the year has already reached its midpoint. Outside the window are meter-high snowdrifts, and the thermometer is stuck in the blue zone, apparently for a long time. Take a look at our new posters. Just from the airline names alone, your hand reaches for a mug of hot tea.
I don't think anyone needs to be told that Alaska is about cold. A land of snow, short summers sparse in bright colors. A land of strong people, harsh mountain peaks, and cold seas. And although Alaska Airlines has long been based much further south than Anchorage, the spirit of the north is present in its livery: the color palette of polar latitudes and a northern dweller in a warm hood.
Apparently this wasn't enough for me, and a poster of a small regional carrier from the ancient Russian city of Kostroma appeared in the collection. This is the homeland of our Ded Moroz (Grandfather Frost), in case you didn't know. And although it's not the extreme north, it's still the North, with all its icy attributes. It's no coincidence that a snowflake is painted on the vertical stabilizer of the old but still very sturdy An-26 aircraft. In addition to everything, the fuselage bears a large inscription: "City of Sharya – the northern capital of the Kostroma region." This is a very tiny town north of Kostroma. And all around are endless forests and snow – lots of snow – that's how I painted it in the background.
Such a winter company has gathered for the New Year in our catalog. Both posters were the first to receive the 2026 copyright at the bottom of the sheet.
But that's not all. As I already wrote on the first page, new orders are already knocking at the project's door. I've included one of them in this release. Completely fresh, and most importantly, hot as the Arizona sands. The poster depicts the aircraft in the days of its youth. And even though it now flies for a completely different airline, this poster will preserve the memory of past years, like a photograph of an old friend.
