Sherlock

A not too ambitious piece of fan art, basically cleaned up and colored pencil sketches of main duo from the BBC series. I was too lazy to draw a London panorama for the background (which was the original idea when I decided to complete this), so I went along with a random underground map from Google... However, Baker St. ended up being visible (right above the O in the logo). Hope you like it!

World War Z

Quick character busts inspired by the film "World War Z" done in a week after I saw it in theaters. Gerry Lane and Israeli commando known only as Segen.

Liam Gallagher

Oasis' frontman Liam Gallagher from the mid-2000 period with a beard and sporting a Parka jacket and yellow Lennon-style sunglasses. Inspired by the singer's Glastonbury 2004 appearance.

Urke the Airman (2013)

Pages of my new comic. Actually it's a remake of my 2004 effort (you can still find it somewhere earlier in the bloglist or under the "comics" label).

Hippo madness

These two were done as gifts for my girlfriend. She's mad for hippos for some reason. The first pic features her fave tennis player Novak Đoković and her pekehund Mimi (RIP!). The second one wasn't supposed to turn out so sinister looking: it was only when I finished the rendering I realized it resembles the iconic scene from Coppola's "Apocalypse Now" in which Martin Sheen rises from the water, so I decided to name it "Hippocalypse Now".

Harry...

Inspired by the opening chapter of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" published in 2003 after five years of anticipation. The 2nd pic is just a simple fusion of two drawings, nothing special.

Freaky-Kids

Just some illustrations I did for a commissioned project. I am rarely satisfied with commissioned artwork, but these turned out surprisingly decent, so I'm posting them, what the heck!

Invasion of the Saucermen + Last Stop Tokyo

TOP: I turned this 2011 unused sketch of Joey Ramone into a tribute to the vintage B-production SF movies and the punk rock band The Lillingtons whose lyrics explore the very same iconography (check out their classic 1999 record "Death by Television"). The Ramones had similar moments - remember the song called "Zero Zero UFO" from 1989's "Brain Drain"? RIGHT: Joey Ramone as the Modesty Blaise type of a super-spy in the Cold War setting. This pin-up was inspired by the Riverdales' song "Last Stop Tokyo" and Lillingtons' phenomenal spy-themed album "The Backchannel Broadcast". Both bands were musically and thematically heavily influenced by the Ramones, so when I listen to their records I can only picture Joey Ramone singing those awesome lyrics.

War of the Worlds

A pin-up inspired by Steven Spielberg's 2005 film adaptation of the H.G. Wells' 19th century proto-SF novel, which I also like a lot. The creation of this pin-up lasted way longer than I had desired. It was conceived in July of 2011 when I drew a pencil sketch of only Rachel (played by Dakota Fanning) and the Tripod in the background. Then I left the piece unfinished to focus on some other projects; when I resumed the work some months later I decided to add her older brother Robbie to the picture... Finally, in the summer of 2012, I figured I might as well do the whole thing and add the character of Ray Farrier (portrayed by Tom Cruise). A few characters had to be recolored from scratch due to some new coloring approaches that I had developed in the meantime. I updated the pin-up once again by adding a Martian to the mix and finally the A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft... Finally completed in September of 2014!

Don't forget to play THIS in the background and turn the volume to the max!

Tom Waits

Last November I drew this Tom Waits portrait as a birthday present for my best mate. It was colored traditionally in grayscale watercolor. Prior to that I scanned the lineart and now here's a digitally painted version in technicolor.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

A pin-up I created by putting some old unused pencil quickies together.
Turned out quite nice for a bunch of practice/warm-up scraps...

Noel Gallagher's Tales from the Middle of Nowhere

The Chief on the road. Great tunes on his solo record with High Flying Birds.

Corto + Gaston

LEFT: Even though I never was a die-hard "Corto Maltese" reader, I did this experimental piece for a Hugo Pratt fan exhibit that will be held during Belgrade's "Night of the Museums" event on May the 19th. RIGHT: Maybe people couldn't guess by the looks of my art today, but Andre Franquin was possibly my biggest influence in art. I studied his style meticulously when I was 15. So, here's a tribute to this great artist and storyteller!

Snape, Snape !

A fully colored pencil quickie of Professor Snape from "Harry Potter". It was just for a random drawing practice, but I decided to color it. Might've spent too many workhours on it, though. The most painful part? Drawing the Slytherin House crest. Seriously.

UPDATE: And here's an alternate take - with the portrait put underneath the parchment texture. Now it looks like one of those artist sketchcards. Which one do you like better?

It all Ends...

Inspired by "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows".

Nathan from "Misfits"

I've recently watched the first two seasons of Misfits with my girlfriend. Then I drew this quickie of Nathan Young - both obnoxious and lovable, a twat and a prick - probably the most memorable character featured in this British science fiction comedy-drama.
2015 UPDATE: Found a pencil sketch of Kelly among my papers, so I colored it!

NOFX: Backstage Passport

Fat Mike (bass, lead vocals), El Hefe (lead guitar, trumpet, backing vocals), Eric Melvin (rhythm guitar, accordion, the mel-yell) and Smelly (drums) from NOFX. Also, Kent, Jay Walker, Rugly and Limo from their road-crew. NOFX are an American punk band formed in California in 1983. Today, they are probably the biggest and most popular independent punk band in the world best known for their D.I.Y. approach to music (minimal staff and crew, self-management, promotion and show booking, staying off the major record labels, mainstream magazines, MTV and commercial radio stations). The artwork was inspired by their reality TV documentary series "NOFX: Backstage Passport" which was a lot of fun! I wanted to capture a kind of "trading card" look to it.

Check out the awesome "NOFX: Backstage Passport" theme song.

Harry Potter fan art ...

Some of the recent Harry Potter quickies turned out fine, so I decided to clean them a bit and give them a full coloring treatment...

LEFT: Sirius Black - based upon Gary Oldman - in his human and Animagus form, with the ancient Black family house elf, the vile Kreacher and the notorious Azkaban prison in the background. RIGHT: Year four Harry from the "Goblet of Fire" era. Inspired by the looks of actor Daniel Radcliffe.

Ramones !

The Ramones were my favorite band during high-school, featured in my drawings as far back as 2000. Very inspirational characters and always so much fun to draw! Updated in 2017!

Vekovnici + Beskrvni

Two commissioned covers for two related projects. 1.) Cover art for an episode ("Stayin' Alive") of "Bloodless" comic book created and written by Marko Stojanović. Published in Serbia by System Comics. 2.) The colored version of the pencil illustration I was asked to do for the cover of "Vekovnici" Sketchbook #4. I previously did a 3-page sequential for a "Vekovnici" book in 2010, published by System Comics.

Exhibition Promo Material

The promo material (biography) and the banner/e-mail invitation I produced for my upcoming exhibition at Belgrade Student Cultural Center which will be held from June 3rd to June 17th. On display will be an array of my previous work (childhood era included, starting with 1989) complete with current digital artwork. I especially enjoyed assembling all of my childhood heroes - featured throughout my career - for the first time in one single picture: Gremlins, Jurassic Park, The Addams Family, Terminator, The Crow, Alien, Starship Troopers, Godzilla and fighter jets/Robotech...

UPDATE: A big "thank you" to everyone who came to see the exhibit!

Mayakovsky + Poe

Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893-1930), a Russian poet.
UPDATE: Added a similar style quickie of E.A. Poe.

Aerosmith

Some Aerosmith fan art drawn in 2010, colored in 2013. Bought my first Aerosmith cassette when I was 13. I rarely listen to the band now, but when I do (once in a couple of years) it makes me wanna draw them badass dudes. I'm considering adding the remaining bandmates and making this a pin-up...

S.

Just a certain Northern girl I know...

Stupid Kid Abroad

My new short comic based on a true story. Published in "Novi Magazin" #22 and to be published in the annual "Komiko" anthology of modern Serbian comics 2011.

Ron & Hermione

Just some random Harry Potter fan art... Ron and Hermione in the snowy village of Hogsmeade... Below is the background that I did as a separate file in 2012.

Partibrejkers

A tribute to the cult Belgrade garage/blues/punk-rock band. The lyrics snippets were written in hand by my friends: Jana Aleksić, Bojana Janjić, Sonja Baltezarević, Ksenija Marković, Bojan Palikuća, Milutin Bešlić, Filip Janković and Miloš Dimitrijević. Thanks, guys!

Jurassic Park

The sick Triceratops scene. Paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant (portrayed by Sam Neil) and paleobotanist Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) from Steven Spielberg's "Jurassic Park". Every now and then I tend to re-watch this exciting movie and it amazes me over and over again.

Hudson from "Aliens"

"Even though his motion tracker detected no activity in the sector, Private First Class Hudson, W. suddenly felt the sort of anxiety that you feel when a pointy teeth monster stares at you from the dark - and a strange heat washed over him, the heat that had absolutely nothing to do with the warm corn fields of his native, far away Oklahoma..."

This artwork is based on Bill Paxton's character of Pvt. Hicks, the cocky U.S. Colonial Marine from James Cameron's "Aliens". Ever since the film's 1986 debut, every single line of his dialogue has become a popular cultural reference ("Game over, man, game over!", "Why don't ya put her in charge!", "Stop your grinnin' and drop your linen", "Is this going to be a stand-up fight, sir, or just another bughunt?", "We're on an express elevator to hell, goin' down!" ... just to name a few).
