three weeks of political comics

Since I won't be in Sarajevo to draw them week by week, here is the batch of three new political comics. First one is already in print and the following two will be in the next two issues.







If you are wondering what's the title - "Behani" means... Well, Bosnia and Herzegowina in short is BH, read (in Bosnian) Be-ha. If you push it you could say that people from Bosnia and Herzegowina are BeHa people. That would be Behani. But, word Bekan, and in plural, Bekani, means dumb ass (dumb asses). Bekan and Behan is very similar. Both as an word and as the type of character in the comic series.

London it is

I decided where I want to go with that award from Radio Sarajevo/EUphoria contest. They said I could visit any European capital and I choose London.

I believe London is just a great all-around city and would boost my creativity for sure. I plan on visiting Cartoon Museum, national Gallery and if possible even the office of 2000 AD. And off course Forbidden Planet and Waterstone's book store.

I'll be attending some of the plays at Mime Festival, then I'll try to seeMousetrap (they say that if you don't tip the taxi driver enough he tells you who the killer is - that's why I'll go there by foot!), and as a special treat the concert of very talented Imelda May (that's her in the photo).

There's still time to fit things in my schedule (as I'll be there from 22nd to 30th January) so feel free to suggest a meeting or whatever you know that is interesting in London.

The serious comic is geting quite serious

Since New Year fell on Thursday I had free Friday to join with weekend and that gave me enough time to ink the first page of that serious comic I'm making. I'll stop calling it "serious comic" and give it a proper, al trough working, title - "Traitan" (which is the name of that guy that looks kind of like Michael Jackson).

I'm also posting the rest of comic in pen. Something I promised I'll do some time ago. But forgot. As usual.

Hitulididi comic won the EUphoria competition

Local, Sarajevo, radio station, Radio Sarajevo, held a competition called EUphoria for artists to show their creativity on subject of Europhean Union and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The competition lasted for six months and I’ve submitted three comics (see them below) with one of them written by Emir Pasanovic.





And, surprisingly I won a monthly award.

But since then a lot of great work was submitted for a chance to win the final award: a trip to one of European capitals.

Yesterday, the winner was announced and - I won again!

I was so surprised and amazed and speechless and nervous that I couldn’t post the news yesterday. But today I can.

The jury decided that my comic capture symbolically the bitter/funny lethargic way of thinking among Bosnian citizens (regarding the Europhean Union) and disrespectful attitude towards the prosperity of Bosnian society.

And I thought my comics ware just, well, funny.

The city I’m going to will be agreed based on my wishes (I can go anywhere?! Wow!) and since Emir wrote the script for one episode he gets a picnic backpack which is, like, the best thing since the invention of sliced bread!
