HOME!!!

2011-10-30T20:08:00.012-04:00

After almost 10 years living in America, I deported my ass back to Macedonia. Here are some photos that my sister took of my gorgeous town Ohrid (pronounced OKHHHH- REED). The nature here is very rich and has a diferent feel, time is suspended and runs very slowly, and the people are warm, but sometimes mean, and still too conservative compared to the neighbouring countries :). I don't really miss America at all.

I'm moving back to my fatherland Macedonia, and while fumbling things, I found this quick study for my portrait, and thought people should see it... Why not...

Crop Circle Designs

2011-05-16T23:50:00.010-04:00

I ended up with this one by an accident, a happy one.

Lately I've been looking at Crop Circles, so I took the freedom to draw a simple one in Illustrator.

2011-04-09T13:03:00.005-04:00

My parents are reopening their business (grocery store) so I drew this logotype for the neon sign outside and for business cards. Get your eggs and milk there!

2011-03-29T15:14:00.001-04:00

I made this video in September 2009, in my last semester. It's supposed to portray me.

2011-03-29T14:37:00.003-04:00

These stencil-type drawings were intended for my sideproject, fluorescent bodypainting, but the party where I was going to do this was canceled, because somebody can just call the police and say whatever they want to ruin a party and the police believe them.

I did this as a gift and have some fun with gouache

"Drum Solos" by Yours Truly, Niko.

2010-03-02T14:59:00.004-05:00

Lately I have been exploring music, trying to compose drum songs with this drums software... It's KICK-SNARE-KICK-KICK-SNARE and that kind of stuff :) My influences? Hard Rock, Thrash, Freestyle, even Reggaeton... Just to test my sense of rythm. After all, I have been banging on tables, boxes and refridgerators my whole life. Too bad I don't have the full version so I could save and re-open my files and add or change the songs. So I look at these ones more like exercises, just to get the feel of the program. but in future I'm going to make longer and more colourful songs. So come back again, I'll have something new posted! I hope I'll have a lot of time on my hands!

P.S.

I added some illustrations to accompany the sound + you can imagine me banging on these drums.

Website released!

2010-01-28T21:40:00.004-05:00

One week ago I completed my website (just before I headed to California). I am satisfied with the outcome, although there are some bugs to be fixed, and I plan to completely redisign it in near future and make it in html, so it would look more professional, and you can select and copy text and send links to somebody for example. Flash is limited I think. Now the whole website is just one link.
