Abu Dhabi residency dawings

After the residency in Abu Dhabi in December 2013 I had an exhibition at HDLU Zagreb, Gallery „Prsten“ . I did a 50 meter long comic book drawing of my expereinces at the residency. With the help of my two good friends Dominik Vuković and Luka Dundur I managed to finish it in just 3 days.

Here are some photos of the process and of some details, along with some press material...

Steve and Connie in Texas

A painting I was commissioned to do for Steve (whom I met in Abu Dhabi) and his wife Connie. The scene depicts the symbolical moment Steve proposed to Connie. I was given close instructions on painting every detail, from the background, to the belt buckles. It was a very nice and unique collaboration.

Tea and Leia

Another commissioned portrait. These two girls where really nice and it was a pleasure to paint them. This time I wanted to put as much effort in the background as in the figures. So I put them on some kind of Japanese couch with a Japanese tapestry in the background...
