Alexey Lipatov is a Ukrainian illustrator from (or in) Dnieper (Dnipro). I can't be more precise or add any further information about him because I could find none during a casual Web search.
Lipatov's illustration style is competent, but not particularly distinctive. He is versatile in subject matter, though most of his production that I came across was in the Fantasy and Dieselpunk subject categories.
Featured here are some Dieselpunk examples. That's because I have a mild, unexplainable interest in Dieselpunk and Steampunk. Lipatov's illustrations are light, good-humored. You might fancy them too. Titles are either mine or what I saw on the Web. Click on the images to enlarge somewhat.
Girl Mechanic
Perhaps a spoof on Soviet-era propaganda posters.
Seaplane and Girl
Sort of a mid-1930s airplane with a Daffy Duck emblem.
Full Moon
Note the two machine guns on the floatplane's nose.
Bomber
Inspired by some early-1930s Soviet, German and French aircraft.
Arrival in Utopia
A touch of Film Noir. What might the lady be carrying in that violin case?
Hovercraft Photo Shoot
Lipatov made several drawings featuring fantasy hovercraft.
Plane and Pilot
A late-1930s kind of aircraft, though the motors are too small to give it sprightly performance.
Wilkommen
That appears to be an actual Dornier Do X seaplane in the background -- not a Lipatov invention..
