Oh, the horror !!!

As some of you know, in early '90's I've been working for German publisher on short horror stories, but most of you never really saw those pages. I've never hide the fact that it was a complete hack-job and that 90% of it was awful crap. Some of you might think I'm exaggerating, but here are the facts; I wasn't really skilled at the time, I never did my best working on them (if I had any enthusiasm, it would vanish after first page), we weren't allowed to use lots of blacks, draw blood and spilled entrails and - on top of it all - they would color it like this ...

The rumor was that some nuns in monastery were hired to do the colors. It was never confirmed, but by the looks of it I guess it could be true! >:)

I GOT IT ! ! ! !

Yes, the comps of first issue of Chas mini finally arrived today!
If you get a chance to read it, let me know if you liked it.
And if you didn't, well OK, do tell, but choose your words carefully ... : )
Sorry for the bad quality of pic. Batteries are empty and I couldn't wait for them to recharge.

More Chas

Whoa, third issue is already announced !!! You can see the cover if you go there, and I'll give you some bits and pieces here ...

Not so rough roughs

I've changed the process a bit. Tighter lay-outs, pencils looser and inked right away.
Here are few fresh pages ...


Stay tuned for the next steps ...

Oldies, again!

I found this portrait of my brother I did exactly twenty years ago. Most bizarre thing is, he looks exactly the same today, 'cept for '80's hairstyle. : )

Also, I ran into this short jam-session I did with Boyo some fifteen years ago. We did panels one after another without penciling or any kind of script.
Pure poetry! : )

Screeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Little people

Tonci helped me out with this. He drew 67 of them, I did the rest, but didn't count them. : )

Another brick(s) in the wall

Second Chas

Whoa! Time flies when you're busy ...
Didn't even realize it's been almost ten days since last post.
Well, I'm still (more then) busy, so I'll keep it short.
The second issue of Chas mini is announced ...

HELLBLAZER PRESENTS: CHAS — THE KNOWLEDGE #2 (OF 5)

Written by Simon Oliver; Art by Goran Sudzuka; Cover by Glenn Fabry

A demon is loose in London, and where's John Constantine? On a beach in Ibiza with a mai tai and a Brazilian model. That leaves Chas alone to solve a bloody mystery – but when one of his old friends goes missing and a new friend emerges to turn his life upside down, saving the city is the last thing on Chas's overburdened mind.

And here's a little work-in-progress piece from the same issue ...

Heeeeello, Michael!

Well, I've returned from Erlangen five days ago, but has been working ever since.
And still have to work more, so not much sense in delaying this.
The show was great, I did dozens of sketches for fans and didn't get tired.


Half of the fans were called Michael, but there was only one caballero ...

There was, like always, lots of people in silly costumes. I got used to this, but I had to take a picture of him ...

Darko was making the real tour and took lots of photos. Hope he'll post them soon on his blog. I wanna see what I've missed being too busy sitting at the Panini booth or in the caffe bar. >:)

Marko Djurdjevic was there as a guest, too. Big talent, big heart!
Nic Klein, too. You'll here about him more soon, I'm sure.

I met lots of great people, some old friends, but big "thanks" goes to our hosts, the crew from Panini Comics and especially to Alex!

Stay tuned. I won't do much writing these days, but I'll be posting fresh art.

Aufiderzen! : )

In and out

Came back from Makarska yesterday.

Words can't describe it, so here's lots of links to tons of pics and some clips.

Gone !!!

Lines, lines, lines ...

Here's some more old stuff ...
First one is the illustration I did for "Danas", news magazine that was very influential and groundbreaking in the '80's. At that time Mirko Ilić set high standards illustrating it for years. I started working for them in 1991., but very soon they went out of business.

This is one page from those Gespenster short stories. I've penciled and inked this one myself. Complete overkill!!! : )
It must be '95. because there's my dog in left corner. Probably first of her many appearances in my comics.

I don't know what inspired me for this one. It's obviously unfinished, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't done on request.

I promise I'll post more recent stuff next time ... : )

He came home from the war with the party in his head...

This one's for Filip! : )
