 We didn't start our qualifications good, so our coach Safet Susic Pape, which lead our them to the World Cup 2014, got fired after first four matches and only two points won. As always, I supported our team, and here are some of my works regarding the first matches.

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.

Finally, I got an idea to make a coloring book for my niece, based on the birthday present... and this is how it looks like:

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.

Loves me/loves me not - the exhibition

Here are some pictures form the exhibition of illustrations on subject "Loves me/loves me not".

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).

I participated with one illustration/caricature, that combines this romantic subject with the "wonders" of modern times...

Special thanks to Aleksandra Nina Knezevic for sharing the pictures form the exhibition.

Bosnia and Herzegovina - Liechtenstein - Lithuania

Two final matches are ahead of us. As always I show my support through illustration.

Just a few more matches until the end of qualifications for the World Cup 2014!

"100 Questions for my Friends" aka "100 Pitanja za moje Prijatelje"

Now you can find our book in Serbian language, too. In honor of the Serbian edition I made this illustration, and this means that, after UAE, Lebanon, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina, you can find our book in the bookstores all over Serbia.

Zb(i)rka radova BH strip autora

Collection of the comic authors from Bosnia and Herzegovina for this year is out. Here is the cover I did for this first number and one comic panel that you can find inside.

This Edition was published by "Drugi Ugao" and "Agarthi Comics".

This is the original cover and original comic panel.

 I had to erase the upper part of the cover because of the title, and I had to transform comic panel into black and white, because the whole edition is black an white inside.
