Today...

I made first pencils for my new comic book. Right now main characters are not completely designed visually so for now I'm just drawing backgrounds, total scenes and things like that. For this comics I decided to work on B4 format instead A4 - which was used for my previous books. I think this way details will looks more nicely and inks will breathe more.

The Silent Flight of a Seagull

New graphic novel in English

"This graphic novel ... is intriguing, sweet and sour, oppressive and gentle. It is a narrative about a young, extremely sensitive individual."

(From foreword by Ilija Bakić)

I wrote already in my Stripnjak Zine about great things Modesty Comics are doing in presenting some of the most interesting comics authors from this (Balkan) part of the world and wider, bringing those rare-to-find stories to worldwide English speaking audience (and vice versa what they doing with Modesty Stripovi translating and publishing artists like Seth, Brian Talbot or Miguelanxo Prado in Serbian language). 

A lot of beautiful, intimate, funny and weird quality comics are easily to find and purchase on Modesty Comics website. I feel really great as a young comics artist for being part of their catalogue with authors I admire and who brought such a quality ideas, styles and inspiration to me and for the whole comics world. 

My new graphic novel coming soon (TBA!) // Few random pages teaser:

New "pencil-ink-final" thing
