Batman on gargoyle

Spent way too much time on this one, but at the end, I'd say it was worth it, huh?
I'm especially happy with gargoyle's head ...

If you can't beat them, join them

So, I've opened up a Facebook page.But the sole purpose of it is to replace my old web page. There you'll be able to find lots of my old and recent works and you can like or comment them. No writings on the wall and stuff.
There's still some stuff I want to put there, but even now, there's plenty to see.
Click here and enjoy! :)

Commissions, again!

I'm sorry, but it's too early to show other stuff I'm working on at the moment. Still, this is something to feast your eyes on, right? :)

La Geste des Chevaliers Dragons

Another commission I had fun working on ...

Aller Anfang ist schwer

Književnost na platnu: G. Sudžuka i I. G. Vitez

Troje titana na jednom mjestu. Pa tko preživi, pričat će...

Još se od prethistorijskih vremena čovjek (neke tvrde i žena) trsio da umijećem risanja uhvati pokret, ekranizira vlastitu svakodnevicu, vandalizirajući zidove pećina mrčotinama prikaza bikova, jednoroga i sličnog jestivog življa.

Povjesničari umjetnosti te su primitivne drljotine nazvali protostripom.

Posramljena ovim pokušajima, nekoliko stoljeća poslije ljudska je vrsta izumila film.

Ovo izdanje Književnosti na platnu ugostit će dva giganta iz obaju sfera - legendarnog stripaša Gorana Sudžuku te Viteza hrvatske kinematografije i televizora, Ivana Gorana - koji će nam podastrijeti svoja promišljanja incestuoznog odnosa dvaju tematiziranih vizualnih medija, te nadugo i naširoko raspravljati o filmskim adaptacijama stripova.

U dosađivanju auditoriju pokušat će ih spriječiti milozvučna moderatorica Mima Simić.

New York, New York again ...

I'll be at New York Comic Con this year again, but this time instead of running around I'll be spending my time at the booth of Splash Page Art, selling my original art and drawing commissions.
If you're around, stop by and say hi! : )
Speaking of commissions, here are two fresh ones ...


And, by the way, finally - amazing original art from Edvin Biukovic's Grendel Tales will be available to buy at Splash Page Art booth! You better hurry. There's not much of them left and I know for sure there are lots of people that's been waiting for this for a long time.

Wolverine - Weapon X

Another commission.

My sincere apologies to BWS! : )

Yorick and 355

New commission, new post ... : )

Dream and Death

Freshly finished commission ...

Izložena Martina

23.9. u 19 sati u Galeriji Događanja u Kulturnom Centru Peščenica biti će otvorenje izložbe originalnih tabli Martine Mjesec. Više o tome možete pročitati ovdje. Dođite, razveselite me! : )

The Big One!

My apologies folks, for this long pause.
Instead of explaining myself let's try and recap what I've been doing these last few months.
First of all, I've been doing some commissions for German fans. You can see them at my portfolio blog.
I delivered those during my German signing tour. I have to say big thanks to Alex Bubenheimer for inviting us and organizing the whole thing and all the nice people from comic shops where signings took place. Also big shoutouts to Davide Gianfelice and Kari Korhonen who were great company throughout the tour and, of course, to all the fans that came to see us.

After five days in five different cities, we spent great weekend in Contern, Luxemburg as guests at small but charming festival. So big thanks to our hosts there, too. Here's Kari's lovely drawing of our little adventure.

But, the thing that kept me really occupied was my first Marvel gig.
I got invited to draw two issues of Wolverine, written by one of the best contemporary writers - Jason Aaron. Despite the tight deadlines it was a real pleasure working on it. Especially because they were colored by amazing Matthew Wilson. Both issues are out during September. Previews are here and here. For you, dedicated followers, here's some b/w pages.



And, at last, the book I've been working on for a long time is finally announced!
A.D.D. is the name of the graphic novel written by Douglas Rushkoff. Douglas is a smart guy, so go and visit his website. I did all of the pencils and Jose Marzan Jr. helped me out on inks through bigger part of the book. Some of you longtime visitors will probably recognize the characters from my previous posts. Cover illustration was conceived and designed by Mrva. I just did the drawing.

That's it, for now. More news and new work coming soon, so drop by - I promise regular updates from now on! : )

Stripovi u Globusu

Od slijedećeg broja Globus će objavljivati kratke stripove domaćih autora. Više o tome pročitajte ovdje. Neka vam od sada bude navika srijedom otići do kioska! : )

Hide your wives and daughters!

Bela Kis is coming to town!
Don't be fooled by this jolly face. There's a monster behind it!

More coming soon, when I return from Mafest.

Strange Adventures

I did a short story for Vertigo's anthology "Strange Adventures" out in May 25th. It's written by Paul Cornell and colored by Cris Peter. In previous posts you can see work in progress on one page from it. For the rest you'll have to get a book. : )

Cover is done by Mark Buckingham.

CHINK! ink

Max Jaguar

Max Jaguar is a collaborative exercise from Darko Macan's blog, open to professionals, amateurs and everyone in between. Every signed in participant draws one strip and writes the next one. This one was written by Milan Jovanovic and next one, that I wrote, will be drawn by Darko.
Can't wait to see it! : )

CHINK! penciled

CHINK!

More Sopranos

Paranoia

Paranoia from goran sudzuka on Vimeo.

Here's a short animated film I did twenty years ago, while working in Zagreb Film. It is the first and last one I did as a complete author, so it's full of flaws. It would've been even worse if I didn't have Natasha Gjurokovic as editor. She threw away lot of needless material and gave the film some rhythm. Also, she connected me with Alan Bjelinski who wrote the music for it. Unfortunately, the film was originally made on 16mm so the quality of sound suffered a lot.
So, I'm showing this more as a trivia then as a masterpiece, OK? : )

PS
Ignore 10 second intro. I have nothing to do with it.

Sopranos

So you think you can dance?

Ranxerox commission that was actually fun to draw. My scanner is giving me some shits, so imagine this a little bit better ... : )

Chick Fight

Boobjob

Wrong move, Odysseus! Wrong move! : )

Martina Mjesec se prodaje!!!

Eto prilike da postanete ponosni vlasnik originalne table Martine Mjesec. : )
Aukcija je ovdje.

Shamless self promotion

I've set up a new blog to accompany this one. The new one is on-line portfolio and it won't be updated frequently like this one, but it gives clear view of my more important work so far.
Also, over at Splash Page Art you can find some newly added original art for sale. Now you can buy my pages from Hellblazer fill-in issues and from my Secret History album.


And here you can read my recent interview. If you speak Croatian, that is. : )

Blueberry

Written by Darko Macan. Drawn by Darko and me. Colored by Tico.

Funny?

Not?

Vixen Virago

Here's the cover for next issue of Lavirint's "Sergej Strip", along with how it was made. It will feature the first episode of Domagoj Rapcak's "Vixen Virago", so I was asked to draw her on the cover.
First I drew the sketch to get green light from publisher/editor. It's pretty tight and I didn't do any variations because I was happy with it from the start.
Hefe liked it and I did the drawing.
In accordance with colorist Ive Svorcina, decision was made to go for tight pencils, instead of inks.
And - voila!
It was lots of fun! I was glad to finally contribute to Lavirint's production, got a sneak-peek to Dommy's comic (which I can't wait to read) and collaborate with Ive for the first time. Hope I'll get to do all three things again soon. : )

Commissions accepted

My schedule has cleared up, so I'll able to take commissions for awhile. I'll be producing black & white drawings on standard comic boards 11 x 17". The price can vary from $100 to $250, depending on how many characters you want or if you want some background, too. If you're interested, please contact Mark Hay from Splash Page Art who is my official art dealer.
Here's a sample drawing of John Constantine you can get for hundred bucks ...
Za vas iz susjedstva ... : )
Kako konačno imam više vremena za slobodno crtanje, možete naručiti crtež svog (ili mog :) omiljenog strip-junaka. Crteži će biti napravljeni na standardnom crtaćem papiru (približno) A3 formata. Cijena se kreće od 550 do 1375 kuna, ovisno o tome želite li jedan ili više likova, sa pozadinom ili bez. Ako ste zainteresirani, javite mi se na e-mail (sa strane, u profilu) i raspitajte se za detalje.

Strange things ...

... come out of your head when you're warming up brush for inking. : )

Big is beautiful

I was just thinking how it was quite enough of the old stuff, but then I run into bunch of these sketches. They are probably from late nineties, but I really can't remember what they were done for. All of those drawings were together in some envelope and, obviously, all of the characters are overweight, but I don't know what was their purpose.
Anyway, I surprised myself with those, so I hope you'll like them, too. : )
