The first memory that I have of myself is tiny me with colouring pencils in my hands, filling up with drawings the reams of computer printout paper that my grandma brought from her office. Those pencils stuck with me, and today I draw for a living.My work focuses on telling stories through conceptual images rich with vibrant colours, imperfect characters and shapes and a (not always) subtle sense of humour.With these aspects of my style, I try to introduce some of my bigger values such as embracing imperfection, diversity, authenticity and hedonism.Currently reading: Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami

Centar Jadro Mural
Client: Centar Jadro
Location: Skopje, North Macedonia
Year: 2022Three years in a row the culture and arts center in Skopje - Centar Jadro hosts a competition for a mural on their facade.
My concept 'Care and grow together' won this year and I got the chance to paint my fist official mural ever.
The concept represents the fact that if we care for our culture as a community, it will grow.

I envisioned their company as the hero character - the alchemist, the process as an alchemy laboratory,
and the tech elements of the process are added in the mixture - customers, websites, spreadsheats, e-mails ect.
Fragments
Fragments is a collection of collage illustrations, done purely from experimentation,
without (too much) planning, as a challenge to do more analog work.
As a conceptual illustrator, I am always concerned about the concept,
and this project helped me free up a bit and just do it for the sake of doing it.
But it still contains fragments as a base, of the past work that I have done.
The trick to getting through life is always having a holiday booked to look forward to.

Transport
Electric accelerates
Roads in 2022 will feature many more electric and sustainable vehicles, as manufacturers go all in on EVs. Subaru’s all-electric Soltera, Ford’s electric version of its F-150 and Mercedes Benz’ EQA (launching in the US) will jostle for space on the motorways with Tesla’s long- awaited Cybertruck, predicted to finally roll off the production line later in the year. Many car companies are producing EVs in 2022 as the first step in longer-term sustainability initiatives – Mercedes-Benz and Ford are committed to becoming fully electric by 2030. The next challenge will be the charging infrastructure and grid capacity.
Entertainment
Chat dethroned
Ellen DeGeneres, the beloved TV talk-show host, will end her show in 2022, after 19 seasons at the top of the daytime- chat game. The Ellen DeGeneres Show won 64 Emmys and DeGeneres presented more than 3,000 episodes – but this has been overshadowed by accusations from staff of a hostile environment where bullying was rife. Pop singer Kelly Clarkson will take over Ellen’s slot – but not everywhere. Some stations have opted instead to run cheaper news-filler shows, citing both the expense and criticisms that the chat format has had its day.
Environment
Nuclear unplugs
In 2022, Germany’s long-term goal to decommission its nuclear plants will finally be accomplished, as the last six go dark. After the Fukushima disaster in 2011, then- chancellor Angela Merkel announced that all of the remaining German nuclear power plants would be shut within the decade. Germany had 17 nuclear power stations in total before 2011, and around a quarter of Germany’s electric power was nuclear; renewables now make up over 50 per cent.
Business
Social currency
Facebook has revealed plans to spend up to $1 billion in 2022 in a campaign to entice creators away from platforms such as TikTok and onto Facebook and Instagram. It will take the form of bonuses, which Facebook will pay to creators who have ads on IGTV videos, or who reach milestones such as a certain number of views on Reels.
The Facebook and Instagram apps will feature a “dedicated place for bonuses” to make it easier to identify who is eligible for the scheme and show creators how to work towards unlocking the payments.
Technology
Apple of your eye
Tim Cook will unveil Apple’s long-rumoured virtual-reality headset in 2022, entering a market dominated by Facebook’s Oculus Quest, PlayStation VR, Valve Index and HTC Vive. Analysts believe its exterior will blend fabric and lightweight materials, while inside, a custom chip more powerful than the M1 processor will drive the hardware and will wirelessly connect to a user’s MacBook or iPhone. The headset will also provide augmented reality experiences – and, no doubt, a whole new way to shop in Apple’s App Store. Sanjana Varghese
Politics
High hopes for retail
New Mexico will launch a regulated and legal market for marijuana from April 1, 2022, becoming the 17th US state to allow cannabis retail. Marijuana- based products sold in specially licensed stores will have a 12 per cent excise tax in addition to state taxes. Therapeutic marijuana for medical purposes had already been legal in the state since 2007, while possession and personal use for over-21s were made legal in June 2021. Public consumption remains outlawed, but the new bill allows those with previous marijuana-related convictions to expunge their records.

Client: Upwork
AD: Nicholas ScarletThe task was to capture the moment when inspiration hits, while tasting the fist sip of coffee.
My inspiration came from an unexpected place
—a Netflix show that I was watching about space shuttles.
After thinking about how I feel every morning
while I wait by my espresso machine and finally sense that smell of coffee, it hit me.
What could better explain the boost of energy, than a space shuttle launch?Awards:
