"Reminiscence shelves" (2022.)
The inspiration for the illustration stems from the distinctive structure of the station, with its segmented windows evoking a striking resemblance to the shelves of a miniature cabinet that once adorned my childhood bedroom wall. Within that modest cabinet of curiosities, an array of vibrant and diverse miniature figurines found their home. Delving into the initial stages of this project, I embarked on a search for a photograph taken in my studio, recalling the time when I meticulously cleaned each of those diminutive treasures for what seemed like the last time.Upon rediscovering this photograph, a realization dawned upon me: the vivid imagery that had long adorned the walls of my childhood sanctuary had subtly seeped into the fabric of my creative subconscious. Fish, bicycles, birds, an owl, shells, clocks, pots, and more — these whimsical objects that once towered above my younger self now resurfaced as the wellspring of inspiration for my earlier artistic endeavors, be it murals or drawings.
In many ways, this undertaking offered me a poignant opportunity to revisit and rekindle the essence of these cherished motifs, infusing them with a renewed sense of creativity and purpose.

Prints
I managed to find high-res photos of some older works for the new print editions.
For now, here are three available new prints for order via email: lonac.pot@gmail.com
For all the prices, check the website: LONAC
I didn't want to do a release date / online event for the now available prints since it's mostly "older" reproduced works. Once I start working on a new series of murals and studio works, there will be a release date for every future print and a limited time to purchase it for a special price.
Since I'm writing about printmaking, it's good to mention my old ( not used much, so basically new) printing press for woodcut and intaglio that's been quietly waiting for me to clean it up and fall in love with it again...
Well, I also finally managed to find out some new techniques for transferring digital sketches on a board or a lino, so the plan for this winter is set. 💪

NEWS
It's been a while 🙈
One month from now, a new season of painting projects starts. Once all dates are set, I'll write all the cities and festivals here and on my website.
I've been busy with some winter commission work and enjoyed doing digital work on my iPad in between those jobs. Also did some woodworking for my studio. My hope for this year is to go back to the rhythm I had back in 2019 but film all the travels and my painting process even more.
Stay tuned ;)

Fine art prints
In 2020, around this time, it was my blog's tenth anniversary. It's a platform where I posted for the longest. I planned to make several fine art print editions with some of my dearests works for that occasion, but then shit happened. Finally, owning a suitable machine to produce all the prints in my studio, that plan is being realized. Once the paper arrives, I will share the first prints available for order.
(prints of murals, paintings, and drawings).If you already have some of your favorites that you want to own as a signed print, feel free to contact me :)

Urban Break-
I am working on a painting for a group show in Seoul, South Korea.
There are some crazy names on the list of artists for this event, so I will post more details soon...really excited about this show.
The composition/concept for the painting is the one from last year, but since I wasn't so happy with the result the first time, I felt some changes should be made. I plan to do more of this type of work which is a bit more personal than some previous ones and also leans on a moodier side.
one more thing:
Finally, my studio now has a brand new professional printer for art prints, so in a month or so, signed prints will be available for purchase.
If you already have some of the favorites ( murals, drawings, paintings) that you would like to own as a signed print, feel free to write me.

Instagram account
Edited
It took about a week or so to get in contact with the FB crew to save my hacked Instagram account. Thnx to Ben Slow, a fellow artist from the UK who also had the same situation that happened to him last year. Luckily, I was helped by a girl that also saved his account.
The original account is back, and the new one I opened almost two weeks ago will be renamed and used to promote fellow artists.
whenever shit happens, crack a joke

thnx
Hi there.
Now and then, I check the blog statistics and get surprised by how many of you still come to this blog, so the reason for writing this post is to say THANK YOU.
Thank you for showing interest in my work; I promise I'll be back soon.
This part is edited, but unfortunately, I must inform you that my Facebook and Instagram were hacked. I managed to save the Facebook page, but for now, it seems that the Instagram account is fucked....oh well...
Cheers

Procreate drawings
I started drawing and painting digitally, mainly in Procreate. This is a fantastic "workout," and lately, I've been doing it every day. I will post some more studies in a week or so.

"Kulturno Uzdizanje"/ "Cultural Upliftment"
I was invited to the city of Zadar to paint a mural on this abandoned building connected to another old, devastated, and much bigger building. That bigger one is currently in the process of renovation, and hopefully, next year will be completed and turned into a cultural center for youth. Parallel to the painted wall, you can find an indoor skatepark-Menza, a part of a squat named Neverland. I decided to use the name of the squat as an inspiration or the central theme and connect that with the current events (regarding cultural centers and culture in general) in Croatia. In my hometown of Zagreb, there is less and less of this type of places, and many more abandoned buildings are wasted away. In the past few years, especially in this one, Zagreb lost some of the most popular and historical places where many of our music icons started to grow. Maybe I'm trying to say "Kudos to Zadar" for building something more valuable than fountains or some overpriced gondola lifts.As I was painting this mural, I had some people asking me why I painted people like they were hanged or high on drugs. I hope that with the text above, I explained the idea behind the mural. Thinking about some of those comments and interpretations, I guess it's safe to conclude that without culture, your youth might end up the way some folks saw it: wasted.
