ZAHVALNICA

July 19, 2013 | Costas Barbatsis

Although I draw 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 receiving 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 the opportunity for creative people to reveal their talent, compare it with others and try to gain a new influence.

I hope I will be part of many more events celebrating the art of comics in the future, I will really enjoy it.

Isn’t this an amazing picture?

Yes, it is and it’s one of Konstantinos Sklavenitis creations. This painting is one of several which will be part of his two-day exhibition.

Konstantinos Sklavenitis is a cartoonist and a comic book artist.

Tomorrow he will have his very first exhibition and presentation of his first comic book.

The art in the comic book is similar to the items that will be part of the exhibition.

I really enjoyed watching how he was setting up the exhibition hall with friends. While they were putting up the final details I had the chance to walk around and admire his art.
