Politikin Zabavnik
Editorial Illustration
Politikin Zabavnik (Serbian Cyrillic: Политикин Забавник) is a popular magazine in Serbia, published by Politika Newspapers and Magazines. The first issue came out on 28 February 1939. In the beginning it was printed in the form of newspaper, and issued biweekly, on Tuesdays and Fridays. Nowadays it comes out weekly on Fridays. One third of the magazine is comics, while the other two thirds contain articles about science, nature, history, literature, music, interesting events, written to appeal to the broadest audiences. Every issue consists of constant and periodical sections, and other texts related to magazine content. Text are followed by original illustrations made by various artists. During extended period of time I managed to Illustrate over 250 various illustrations. This is ongoing collaboration filled with pleasure of working intensely in short dead lines of pressed paper media.

Marx Reloaded
Art Director, Animator
Marx Reloaded by Jason Barker is a cultural documentary that examines the relevance of German socialist and philosopher Karl Marx's ideas for understanding the global economic and financial crisis of 2008-09. Marx Reloaded comprises interviews with the world's leading philosophers of Marxism, including those at the forefront of a popular revival in Marxist ideas. The film also includes light-hearted animation sequences which follow Marx's adventures through the matrix of his own ideas. On this project I've been commissioned in Animation Section as Art director and Lead animator.

The movie "Technotise: Edit and I" was based on a graphic novel called "Technotise" by A. Gajic, a Serbian illustrator who illustrated Darko Grkinic's cyberpunk story (2001). Movie was released in October 2009. And shortly after it became key point in Serbian filmography. In this small film production I've been working as assistant animator as well as background artist. Making movie with small crew of dedicated artists and technicians was a such great experience.
