I am an international award-winning freelance artist-illustrator with 28 years of experience in the publishing industry. I have been drawing as long as I can remember. Most of my childhood was spent in my room sketching, coloring, and painting.

 

I have worked as a cartoonist for several newspapers and magazines Newropeans magazine (France), Vjesnik (Croatia), Delo (Slovenia), Express Politika (Serbia), Belgium...for 12 years.

 

I was involved in hundreds of comic book projects for 5 years. After that experience, I have started working as a freelance book illustrator and I created about 250 books including children's books, textbooks, young adult books, etc. 

 

My artwork was represented by several galleries across the world (New York, Kyoto, Amsterdam, Italy, Israel...).
