Jorge!

Jorge is a frequent visitor and commentator on this blog. It's not his birthday, but neverthenless I thought of making a special surprise for him. He's well known for his comments on several hundreds of cool blogs, and other people already tried to draw a caricature of him - check out Kali and David. Jorge is becoming a real blog-o-sphere celebrity.
So, here's Jorge, enjoying the music of his favorite rock band ;-)

Report from MaFest

Updated: 31.05.

Last weekend, a comics festival MaFest took place in the city of Makarska (Croatia), for the second consecutive year. I was there during Saturday and Sunday, and as expected, it was lot of fun. The whole event was really well organized, and there's a friendly homely atmosphere that's often missing in many similar manifestations around the world. The success of MaFest proved that comics are not quite dead yet in Croatia, despite the contrary rumours we were constantly listening for the last 16 years.

Many of the leading comics artists and publishers from Croatia and neighbouring countries attended the festival, and there were some illustrious special guests: Alfredo Castelli and Lucio Filippucci (both of Martin Mystere fame), and also Matt Hollingsworth and Giulia Brusco (two of the best and most acclaimed colorists in the comics industry).

Originally, I wanted to post here a report with a bunch of photographs, but my shitty camera decided to die as soon as I reached Makarska. So, instead of the usual photos, here's something better (I hope) - the caricatures of several Croatian Comic artists who attended the festival. These are friends and colleagues, and I hope no one's going to hire a thug or professional killer because of my portraits :-)

Coming attraction... here's a quick pencil sketch, a preview of the next picture:

Poison Ivy

Another ugly caricature...

She's a very popular actress. And she's not so chubby in the real life (at least not yet), though I made her so just for fun. I'm not too pleased with this drawing, but I hope she's recognizable. Can anybody guess her name?

The Royal Couple

He's the world's best paid sportsman... I beg your pardon, entertainer. She's the self-proclaimed world's greatest fashion authority. Used to be a singer, too. Who are they? Why are they so bloody important? Somebody please tell me...

Who's that girl?
