ARTIST BIO

Ivan Poletaev is a San Francisco Bay Area-based digital artist and a 2020 graduate of UC San Diego. He enjoys generating visual designs and graphics, and also has an interest in world building and character design – especially when it involves magic and otherworldly concepts. His favorite themes in art are emotion, perception, and the supernatural.

In September 2011, Ivan started a Steam account with the gamertag SumRussian, and started experimenting with gaming mods. Since then, his gamertag has slowly transformed into a name for his digital persona, and he kept it with him even after graduating from college.
