Shameless Self Promotion

Since I'm in a such a good mood lately, I'm enjoying it fully, because I know it's not gonna last forever. So, while I'm still full of myself ...

Here's something from Brian K. Vaughan's site;

"As Y races for curtain, Jeff Jensen at ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY named our book the "#1 Comic of 2007" (and Season Eight of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, which I was lucky enough to work on with artist Georges Jeanty, came in at #4). And this year's volume of BEST AMERICAN COMICS (edited by my hero Chris Ware) named Y #41 ("Buttons," the 355 origin story) as one of the "100 Distinguished Comics of the Year." Congrats to Pia Guerra, Goran Sudzuka, Jose Marzan, and the whole Y team."

Thanks, Brian! You're welcome! : )
And, thanks to Mr. Jensen and Mr. Ware, of course!


At home, "Svebor i Plamena" got some media attention. Articles are in Croatian ...

And nice article about me, that had my stupid-looking pic in a printed version. It's left out here, thankfully ... : )

But there's few of them here. From the earlier mentioned promotion ... three stooges!

That would be all for today.
Good night, and good luck!

Fun, fun, fun!

Yes, it was fun yesterday! Just the right amount of people showed up on promotion, everybody got their signatures and sketches form Darko, Matija nad me. We went for a couple of drinks later. Group got smaller, so Mrva, Bob, Biuk, Boras, Fuxy and me ended up in B.P. Club where Mrva made us draw some more. He will post the result. He has to! >: )
Did a lot of work since last post and I'm happy with it. Here's a peak ...




On the other news, first two episodes of Martina Mjesec are published!

It's one in the series of cute little books that doesn't fit nicely on the shelves, but are lots of fun to read! Here are the others ...

Biuk

Tico

Darko

Luka i Josip

... and Darko again.

Well, he's the publisher, so he can have two! And he's more productive then all of us together! : )

Something old, something new...

... something borrowed, something blue!
Not sure if I wrote this properly, but I'm sure Emeer and Yosseep will correct me if I didn't. >: )
And no, nobody's getting married, but title describes what I'll be posting this time. So ...

Something old - unfinished page from "Svebor i Plamena" because promotion of the book should be held on next Friday, January 18th, in Profil Megastore in Zagreb. I hope it won't get canceled again.

Something new - inked page from "Chas: The Knowledge", mini series for Vertigo I'm working on now.

Something borrowed - a panel from Darko Perović's short comic. Darko is one of those artists from ex-Yugoslavia that blew my teenage mind, and he still rocks! After working for Spanish publishers in '90's, he's working for years now for Italians on "Magico Vento". For purely selfish reasons, I'd like him to work on some American comics, so I could finaly read his comics! Darko started his blog recently. Go visit and make him post more often! :)

And something blue - penciled panels from "Chas". It's difficult to pick stuff for posting from this book, because I want them to be attractive, or at least interesting, but without possible spoilers for future readers.

I'm running late on deadlines with the book, but I wanted to make up for this long pause to all of you regular visitors. So here you go ...

Churchilll

... not Winston. : )

Greetings!!! >: )

Of course, I wish you all the best, but I'm really fed up with all the Santas, snowflakes, people shopping like there's no tomorrow, happy-crappy songs and all the other unavoidable stuff year after year. So here you go...

Alan Macan ...

... or Darko Moore? : )

Promocija odgođena!

Upravo sam obavješten da je promocija u Profilu odgođena za siječanj. : (

Eddy

Two days ago, it was eight years since Edvin Biuković passed away. I wanted to write something about him but, frankly, I can't find the right words (especialy not in english) so I'll let the pictures speak ...

Highschool, oh the '80's!!!!

Prom night ...

Krazy in Brooklynn ...

... and cool in San Diego! : )

Just ... Eddy.

Those of you not lucky enough to have known him, still have an oportunity to enjoy in his art ...

Romancing the Stone

I wish next book I'll be working on will take place in the desert ... : )

Martina

Cover for MaliQ. Guess who did the colours?

I prođe još jedan CRŠ...

Ko je doš'o zbog Cagora i Talijana, vjerovatno je otiš'o sretan.

"Svebor i Plamena" su zaglavili u štampariji, zajedno sa još nekoliko drugih albuma kojima sam se veselio. Aukcija je bila bruka, iako sam ja osobno dobro proš'o, pa se neću žalit.

Izostanak "S&P" mi je bio dovoljan razlog da preskočim crtanje, pa mi se cijeli festival sveo na druženje s ljudima što, priznat ćete, uopće nije loše. : )

SVI M'RŠ NA CRŠ!!!

Vjerovatno već svi znate da sutra počinje jubilarni 10. Crtani Romani Šou, pa vam samo želim skrenut pažnju na par stvari...

U petak već u 17.30 (prije sluzbenog otvorenja) Matt Hollingsworth ima predavanje o koloriranju stripova. Mnogi među vama se sigurno igraju fotošopom (što iz hobija, što profesionalno) a Matt zna sve o tome, pa dođite, slušajte, pitajte, slušajte...

U subotu, u 15.00 biti će održana aukcija originalnih tabli. Izbor tabli je šarolik, a među njima biti će i moje dvije table iz stripa Lady Johanna Constantine. Dođite, bidajte, kupite...

U nedjelju, u 16.30 je promocija Fibrinih izdanja. Fibra izdaje je najbolje svjetske stripove kod nas, i totalni mi je egotrip što su Svebor i Plamena prvi domaći strip koji izdaju. Poslije Fibrine promocije slijedi Darkov Q, a onda CRTANJE ZA PUBLIKUUUUU!!!! : ))))
Svatko tko kupi album dobit će potpis i crtež (ako želi da mu šaram po knjizi, ili na posebnom papiru) , i jednu Y- the Last Man svesku !!!!
Pa dođite, slušajte, pitajte, listajte, kupujte, dobijte...

Walking down the London streets...

... Frazer and Fiona.

Svebor i Plamena

Finaly, my biggest Croatian work completed in one, big book! It's a black & white comic done for a Croatian school magazine "Modra Lasta", written by Darko Macan. I did five episodes, total of 80 pages. Had to leave it when "Outlaw Nation" kicked in. Darko continued working on it with Matija Pisačić as the artist.
It should be out (hopefully) in time for Crtani Romani Šou. In the meantime you can download BIG preview here.
