Recently I had the pleasure to tell a few words about all kinds of comics and illustration related stuff, but also to announce my first book. The book will be presented at this year's Comics Showroom in Belgrade.

You can read the article here. The author is Tijana Spasić from the culture section of Blic. Thank you Tijana!

Nedavno sam imala zadovoljstvo da za dnevni list Blic kažem koju na razne stripovsko - ilustratorske teme, ali i da najavim moju prvu knjigu stripova koja će biti predstavljena na ovogodišnjem Salonu stripa.

Dizajnersi / Designers

U rubrici portfolio online magazina Dizajnersi, pre par dana, predstavljeni su i moji radovi. Takođe, tu je i mali intervju gde sam, sa velikim zadovoljstvom, odgovorila na par pitanja o ilustracijama, dizajnu, stripu, životu...Izbor radova napravila i prilog priredila urednica Dizajnersa, Jelena Seničić. Hvala :-)

A few days ago my work has been featured in Serbian online magazine called Dizajnersi (Designers) It's a great online magazine dedicated to design, illustration, typography and other art related stuff. There is an interview (only in Serbian), where I talked about illustration, design, comics, life... The works displayed were selected by their editor Jelena Seničić. Thanks :-)

Cartoline / Razglednice

During the Adriatico Mediterraneo festival held in Ancona (Italy) from September 4th, there were all kinds of nice comics related things happening. First, in an unusual space called Mole Vanvitelliana (ex port quarantine from the 18th century), there was a solo exhibition of Aleksandar Zograf, and then a group exhibition of Serbian authors titled Cartoline dalla Serbia (Postcards from Serbia). Unfortunately, I couldn't be there but, judging by photos, my comics had a great time :-)
After Ancona, the festival traveled to Sarajevo as the exhibition Cartoline dall'Italia alla Bosnia in the Art gallery of Bosnia and Herzegovina which presented Bosnian and Italian artists.
The third and final part of the festival titled Cartoline dall'Italia alla Serbia will happen in Belgrade, from 15th to 30th October in the VIP gallery of the Student Cultural Center. In addition to the exhibition of Italian and Serbian artists, there will be workshops and one of the Italian guests will be the famous muralist Blu!

And all of this wouldn't be possible without the Associazione Culturale Mirada association from Ravenna and its hardworking editors Elettra Stamboulis and Gianluca Costantinii. Thank you so very much!
Don't miss Elettra's article Sunflowers and comics (Girasoli e fumetti), it will make things clearer :-)

U okviru festivala Adriatico Mediterraneo, a koji je započeo 4. septembra u Ankoni, dešavale su se razne lepe stripovske stvari. Najpre je, u neobičnom izložbenom prostoru Mole Vanvitelliana ( bivši lučki karantin iz 18. veka), otvorena izložba Aleksandra Zografa, a zatim i grupna izložba srbijanskih autora pod nazivom Cartoline dalla Serbia/ Dopisnice iz Srbije. Ja na žalost nisam prisustvovala svemu tome, ali sudeci po fotografijama moji stripovi su se lepo proveli :-)

Posle toga festival je otputovao u Sarajevo, pa je i tamo, u Umjetničkoj galeriji BIH, upriličena izložba Cartoline dall'Italia alla Bosnia, na kojoj su zajedno predstavljeni autori iz Bosne i Italije.
Treci, završni deo festivala Cartoline dall'Italia alla Serbia desiće se u Beogradu, od 15. - 30. oktobra, u VIP galeriji SKC-a. Pored izložbe autora iz Italije i Srbije , predviđene su i radionice, a jedan od italijanskih gostiju biće i čuveni muralista Blu!

A svega ovog ne bi bilo bez asocijacije Culturale Mirada iz Ravene i njenih vrednih urednika Eletre Stamboulis i Đanluke Konstantinija. Puno, puno hvala!
I obavezno pročitajte Eletrin tekst Suncokreti i stripovi / Girasoli e fumetti , mnogo toga će vam biti jasnije :-)

The end of summer on HCF/ Kraj leta na HSF-u

Sea, sun, palm trees and cacti, people and comics...

What more could you ask for :)

More i sunce, palme i kaktusi, ljudi i stripovi...
Šta čovek više da poželi :-)

Vacation! / Odmor!

This summer was all about work, and that is great. But even the worst workaholic, as I obviously am, needs at least ten days off. This year I will be in Herceg Novi, which is so peaceful and beautiful in September. Also, the second edition of Herceg Novi Comics festival will be held in this period, and I'm really looking forward to it. There will be a lot of exhibitions, talking panels, concerts, and my favorites, workshops :-) So, if you are in the neighborhood, don't forget to visit.

And here are few details from the illustrations I've been working on lately. Those will be published in the textbook for the 2nd grade.

Čitavo leto bila sam jako uposlena i to je sjajno. Ali čak i najgorim vorkoholičarima, potreban je odmor ponekad. Ove godine biću u Herceg Novom koji je u ovo doba godine posebno miran i lep. A tu je i HSF (hercegnovski strip festival) kome se veoma radujem. Sudeći po programu, očekuju nas izložbe, tribine, koncerti i, meni omiljene, radionice :-) Ako ste kojim slučajem u blizini obavezno svratite.

A ovo ovde su detalji sa ilustracija koje sam nedavno završila. U pitanju su priče i pesame iz čitanke za drugi razred (izdavač BIGZ školstvo, Beograd)
