The Original Misfits!!!

As a Misfits fan for almost 15 years I was very excited this May when it was announced that Glenn Danzig, the mastermind behind the original incarnation of the band, will be reuniting with his former axemen the Caiafa bros Jerry Only and Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein for the first time since 1983. Although I have featured various line-ups of Misfits (classic and Graves-era) in my art since 2002, I was inspired to create these posters. And I will continue to do so, as I find the band's unique blend of horror and punk very inspiring.

Smoking

Unused designs I created for “Smoking” rolling paper contest. The goal was to redesign Mr. Smoking, the main mascot from 1879 as to appeal to the millenial audience. The contest called for 1 principal illustration and 6 additional pictures that would feature Mr. Smoking in different contexts (Extreme Sports, Icon of the Urban Tribe, Social Media, Street Art, Rock Concert, Friendship). Even though my contest entry was rejected, I kinda like the overall result as I really did my best and had dedicated three months of my personal time to complete it. More on Tumblr.

Batman!

Some Batman related stuff I've been doing in the past couple of years. Generally, I'm not very fond of super-hero comic books - the only exception being the Caped Crusader!

Comic Panels...

Three panels of 8 total I was commissioned to produce for the Serbian Commissioner for Protection of Equality office in 2014 and 2015.

Doyle

Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein, the iconic guitarist of the legendary horror-punk band Misfits! I was obsessed with their music and imagery during the final year of high-school.

Jurassic Park: Trespasser

A rework of my previous "Trespasser" fan-art from 2010.

Harry Potter

Some Harry Potter fanart prepared for my exhibition as a part of "Pottermania", the first Serbian HP fan convention.

Robotech: Rick Hunter

Rick Hunter, my favorite character from the '80s space opera "Robotech".

Check out the Tumblr post for some additional pics!

The Crow: City of Angels

Fan art inspired by the 1996 sequel to "The Crow". It had a few good moments (Iggy Pop in a small role, good production design), although it turned out to be a disappointment in comparison to the 1994 Brandon Lee original.

How I Spent My Summer Vacation

An illustration inspired by a summer trip to Greece two years ago. There was an annoying fat kid seated behind us in the bus the whole time (with his equally rude and noisy parents) and the traveling agency had sent along a pretty unusual representative as well (lower right corner). Hope you like it!

Neverminds

A commissioned pin-up for a comic book project called "Neverminds".

Oasis: the Tabloid Times

Liam and Noel Gallagher of Oasis, inspired by the Brit-Pop mania of the mid-90s... The background collage was the most interesting part to create. All the tabloid headlines were created from scratch in Photoshop, all the stories were typed in manually... Around 90% of them are authentic press news imported from various archives of the era... Only one had to be crafted by me because I wasn't able to find the original text, although the event described is true. I had loads of fun putting this together. Hopefully, it shows.

Grand Theft Auto

I've been playing me some GTA recently.
Such fun games and such great characters!

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!
