My old gag cartoons

Wonder Woman

I did several illustrations of Wonder Woman. I think none of them was published in a magazine. Although, it is true, that I never even tried submitting them. It was fun drawing this super heroine:

Dune cover

Here is my drawing for one of the Dune books cover. From mid 90's.

My very old comic strip

I have produced this comic strip in the early 70's. Unfortunately, all the originals were stolen.

The text is in Croatian.

Solaris

The film based on the novel by Stanislaw Lem (1961) could have been great. However, the version by Andrei Tarkovsky (1972) had a painfully slow pace for my taste, while the last version from 2002 was a bit better.
My book cover illustration (below) was published in Sci-Fi Art Now (2010)

My interview

Alien inspiration

When I first saw the film "Alien" I was thrilled. It really blew me off. However, a couple of decades later, I have found a movie that had a strong (mildly said) influence on Ridley Scott and Giger:
"Planet of the vampires". Although the acting is rather poor, the film is filled with cool visual effects, design and sound.

Art deco in vintage sci fi films

Although, heavily influenced by the prevailing art style of the respectful decades of their production, these movies are still incredible, when measured by the imagination and craftsmanship of their creators: German "Meropolis"(1927), Russian "Aelita:Queen of Mars"(1927) and British "The shape of things to come"(1936).

Saint Sylvester's Day

The year 2013 wasn't good for me. On the contrary. I hope the next year will be better.

Here is one of my old cartoons. This one is on Neanderthals:

Happy New Year!

Forbidden Planet

This is one movie that blew me off when I was 6. I still love watching it. This Sci Fi film was way ahead of its time (filmed in 1956) and I still consider it to be the best Sci Fi movie of the previous century. I still haven't decided which one is the best in this century.
