“...this comic book does not, as it might seem, glorify the autistic
sensibility or the ultimate adequacy of the cognitive interiority, but
it offers a critique of the dominant forms of emancipation in
modern liberal democracy.” - Excerpt from afterword by Šefik Tatlić

“Haunting tales from the depths of the foggy Sarajevo underground.
Lonely bottle collectors, noiselife, winther, weltschmerz and strangely
familiar weirdness.” - Andreas Brandal, Stripnjak editor

The 2^nd Stripiti Fest, festival of comic books which promotes BiH authors and comic books in BiH will be held from 29 to 31 May.

Hell on Pag

Last week Ella and I had beautiful crazy days in Pag. We went to 1st of may festival organized by Bataja Pag in old squatted bowling club. This place was center of fun back in 80ties, than abandoned and ruined inside until this lovely punk people made it live again.
So, small group of people made in a few days great pieces of mosaic all over the main walls, it looks like a huge comic!. Also we met two nice guys from Rijeka, Vedran & Dorijan. Check out Vedran's art here.
I jumped in fun and made little comic about them on gutter between their mosaics.
