Preview to Novo doba...

Novo doba (New Age) is a festival of authorial comics... - check it out - www.novodobafestival.net
It is held in Belgrade, Serbia, for third time now.

So, my dear friends invited me once more to participate in this years catalogue with new work.
These are my illustrations (recycled from older work, yes, so what)...

The theme of this years festival is "Third Age / Golden Age", the last stage of  this spectaculous human life on earth... I focused on childhood memories, because old people use to say that while getting older they remember childhood better and with even more joy than ever!

So, this is for our inner child - to keep it there until that day (until-the-day-we-die) !!!

Some new drawings, fresh from the oven...

Cosmic dancers

Time to start a new series of work - it doesn't differe much from other paintings by theme... but it is inspired by old fashioned portraiture in that charming oval frames. And that's new.

The title is symbolical, and represents the power of intent and unity of the newly awakened generation.

It is inspired by a T Rex lyrics "I danced myself out of the womb, I danced myself into the tomb". It always makes me think of how I use my time given by this life. So strange...

"Cosmic dancers", triptych

acrylic, oil and ink.jet transfer on canvas

28x22 cm (each painting)

Thinkers think and doers do

Well, I guess we are both thinkers and doers - ocassionally thinking to much and doing nothing to stop it, but then again, often doing something without even thinking before...

Howcome we can never find balance?

"Thinkers think and doers do. But until the thinkers do and the doers think, progress will be just another word in the already overburdened vocabulary of the talkers who talk..."

That quote defines it perfectly...

 "Thinkers think and doers do", diptych

acrylic, oil and ink-jet transer on canvas

73x46 cm (each painting)

One more...

...from "Wake of the flood" series!

Well, they're just popping out that water...

/// Sketchbook ///

"Sketchbook" is a charming exhibition of various booklets held at Academy of fine arts in Zagreb...
