Dylan Dog - wall poster

What started as a drawing exercise finished as a 130 x 80 wall poster for my friend's new apartment in Belgrade. Her boyfriend is a big Dylan Dog fan, and I'm really happy that my work will be on their wall. Can't wait to see it framed. ;)

Sociopolitical caricatures

I was inspired by the recent events in the world and on a local level, so I did some sociopolitical caricatures...

On topic of killing of Afro-Americans and Muslims in USA

(ibretiti=stay shocked)

On topic of young people leaving Bosnia and Herzegovina due to poor economic situation.

On topic of killing of Charlie Hebdo's journalist and caricaturists in France.  

Dylan Dog collection and illustration

Here is a photo of my Dylan Dog ultimate ex-Yugoslav, Croatian and Serbian collection, how I like to call it. :)

And this illustration was inspired by the recent events in Sergio Bonelli Editore. New, young and talented scriptwriter Roberto Recchioni (on the right) got a blessing from the Dylan Dog creator Tiziano Sclavi (on the left) on one event for taking over the chief editor position in Dylan Dog from the former editor. Recchioni is supposed to give new life into the comic which had lot of creative problems in the past years, especially regarding the scripts. 

But, Dylan Dog and his long term friend Inspector Bloch are not so happy with the news, because Recchioni will make some crucial changes in the series, including retiring of Inspector Bloch.

Wolverine sketch

A quick Wolverine sketch. I'm not a big fan of American Comics, and I did this with no references, just how I remember Wolverine from the movies and some illustrations...

Opusteno nedjeljom - BHT1, 23.11.2014.

I was a guest in a Sunday program of a national TV BHT1, a show called "Opusteno nedjeljom". Guest was Kornelije Bata Kovac, one of the greatest composers and songwriters in ex Yugoslavia. My job was to do his caricature during the show. I had more than one hour on disposal, and here is the final result:

Bata and me

And here is the video

Sarajevo Film Festival 2014

As a part of Sarajevo Film Festival TV program national TV BHT1 wanted to do a story about me, my work, illustrations, caricatures and animated movies, as some of them were in the festival program in the past years. They did an awesome job with the video, it looks very professional as you can see in the link below:

During the shooting on the red carpet I started working on a caricature of some famous people in the movie business from Bosnia and Herzegovina. After a while I did something without a tablet, on a real paper with a pencil and colors... and it felt good. :-) The final work was given to the festival director in live program after the viewers saw the story.

On 21st of August, 7th day of the festival, my girlfriend Sabina Pezo and I gave a lecture about animation to a young filmmakers which have their films in Teen Arena/Teen Action program of the Sarajevo Film Festival. It's always great thing when you can encourage young people to do what they love, and we hope some of them will be future animators.

Bosnia and Herzegovina on the World Cup 2014

This summer my country had a historical debut on the World Cup in Brasil.
I continued supporting the national team with my caricatures and illustrations. 

Here are the works dedicated to the matches against Argentina and Nigeria: 

After the terrible mistakes made by the judge Peter O'Leary against our team in the match with Nigeria I decided to do a illustration based on one interesting photo that was taken after the match.

 It was a great feeling to be a part of a big competition like World cup! It's a totally different feeling to watch the World Cup games when your country is a part of it all.

Rukom Concept Store suggested that we do some cups with my illustrations, so we did. City deal also suggested that we print them on T-shirts. So we did that, too. Here are the results:

    

Rukom Concept Store did this great flag with my work on it. It was a gift for one bartender from Sarajevo who's customers raised money to send him to Brasil, and that flag was on the Maracana stadium on the 15th of June during the first, historic game against Argentina.

And last, but not least, national television BHT 1 visited me on two occasions during the World Cup. They were interested in my work and my perception of the competition itself.

There were lot of visitors and it was fun to see different approaches in the works of other authors and some close friends. The exhibition was held on monday, 21. 10. 2013. on the top floor of the National Gallery in Sarajevo, and it was organised by "Knjiga u centru" (non-profit organizeation form Zagreb, Croatia).
