A Comic Book Competition in Serbia – An Acknowledgement That Motivated Me

Although I’ve drawn since a young age, I never became a comic book artist. But when author Marko Stojanović invited me to participate in a Balkan comic competition in Serbia, I received an acknowledgement that gave me motivation to keep improving.

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.

Konstantinos Sklavenitis Exhibition – A First Comic Book and a Promising Talent

Konstantinos Sklavenitis, a Greek cartoonist and comic book artist, is preparing for his very first exhibition and comic book launch. I had the chance to watch him set up the hall and admire his art — here’s why I’m excited for him.

Isn’t this an amazing picture?

Yes, it is — and it’s one of Konstantinos Sklavenitis‘ creations. This painting is one of several that 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 him set 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.
