Although I’ve drawn from a very young age, I never became a comic book artist.
It was such a pleasure, though, when comic book author Marko Stojanović asked me to participate in a comic book competition in Serbia — the XV Balkan Festival of Young Comic Book Writers. I received an acknowledgement.
This gave me the motivation to try again and improve my writing and drawing skills.
I do believe competitions help spread the word and also give creative people the opportunity to reveal their talent, compare it with others, and gain new influences.
I hope I will be part of many more events celebrating the art of comics in the future. I would really enjoy it.
