The league of the extraordinary Marko Djurdjevic

BY: ROCIO FRAUSTO

“I always search for the most extreme moment in a motion and thus capture the emotion.

The tension in my characters is also a serious attention to detail. How does a wrist bend? How do hands fold? Knowledge of physics and anatomy is essential,” stated Mr. Djurdjevic in an interview for CG channel. For those not acquainted with his illustrations or contributions to the comic world, the following is a brief synopsis of the artist and his craft. Marko Djurdjevic strengthened his technique for design and became a professional illustrator at the age of 17 in Germany producing for companies such as White Wolf, Inc. and FanPro Games. His distinguished ability to create super natural characters in a very short amount of time was recognized by two other artists, Manley and Jones, and together developed Massive Black. The foundation of the company is to create superior concept art for the video game and film industries.

Djurdjevic was the senior concept artist focusing on human character and creature design at Massive Black. Due to the overwhelming projects received by the company, Mr. Djurdjevic relocated to San Francisco where he would spend the next three years designing and conducting workshops thus creating a strong alliance with the creative community. It was also in this city where Djurdjevic was asked to showcase his mastery for character design in a DVD and he accepted. During the same time, several illustrations that Djurdjevic posted in the creative forums generated an overpowering response especially from Marvel Comics.

The exclusive contract with Marvel provided a financial independence for the artist which led to his departure from Massive Black. Djurdjevic returned to Germany where his superheroes continue to inspire and transcend comic book admirers.

Insomniac Manhattan..

“Manhattan. Sometimes from beyond the skyscrapers, across the hundreds of thousands of high walls, the cry of a tugboat finds you in your insomnia in the middle of the night, and you remember that this desert of iron and cement is an island.”

Albert Camus

Sylvia Plath Reads ‘Daddy’

“Daddy,I had to kill you”

Or kill me instead.

Madonna Vs Mc Cain…1-0

Yes,its a fact that Madonna did manage to make Mc Cain and his supporters feel annoyed as she chose to feature his image along with ones of Hitler and Robert Mugabe on a huge video screen while performing “Get Stupid” track from the last “Hard Candy” cd.In the very end of the song,images of Barack Obama were featured instead, along with ones of John Lennon,Mahatma Gandhi,Al Gore.

It is a typical “Madonna” act,expressing not only her very personal political views but…teaching once more that the best way to promote yourself is… to create tension around your name,negative of positive,indifferent.The absolute perfection of dog’s tail brilliant PR master class attributed to Alkibiades…

to view the live version of the song..

yet, to be honest,THIS was my fav Madonna moment…

“ITS NOT THE MEN IN MY LIFE,NO..”

“C’est l’originalité de ce projet qui a décidé Chantal Thomass, créatrice emblématique de la lingerie de luxe à la française, à inaugurer la collection. Son univers tendre, foisonnant, infiniment sexy, est un merveilleux support imaginatif. Quant au vocabulaire spécifique de la lingerie, “tulle, gaufre, crème, balconnet, mousse…”, è lui seul il ouvre à tous les fantasmes, toutes les fantaisies d’écriture. Pour ce premier ouvrage, chaque écrivain a reçu une parure différente de Chantal Thomass dans une boîte en forme de coeur rose et noir. C’est donc le prétexte à l’écriture d’une nouvelle. Rythmé par les magnifiques photographies d’Ellen Von Unwerth, un Abécédaire accompagne les huit nouvelles inédites, présentant le vocabulaire spécifique et sensuel de la lingerie, des anecdotes historiques, des citations littéraires… Bref, une promenade littéraire et ludique dans l’imaginaire de la lingerie.”
