Filmography
Self-Portait (2007) is a short animated film about an artist, who, while creating a portrait, realizes that the painted parts of the face – Nose, Eye, Ear, Mouth, Tongue, and Hair – have a mind and soul of their own. It won an award at Balkanima and was shown at 10+ international festivals.
The Tale of a Town (2004) is a short animated film about the City of Pančevo, and, more, about the timeless joy of creating things. It won several awards and was shown on several domestic and international festivals.
Own's Own (2002) is a short animated film about a shadow of a tree, which doesn't obey the Sun. It was awarded with the best debutant film director award at the Belgrade Documentary and Short Film Festival.
There are, also, several more film/animation projects where I was involved in as a director, writer, or animator: an animated music video, Mi Smo Majstori (We Are the Craftsmen) (2009), featuring VojvodinaPut company crew as one crazy orchestra; a mini-trash film aaahh (2007), a short commentary on false academic values of management schools; Noname-Freedom (2005), an experimental SF short about the future of people and technology, shot in chroma-key studio; Evolution 2 (2001), an animated short with a new theory about the creation of Man; and The Teeter-totter (1997), my first child-work cartoon, created when I was 12 years old.

Visual Art and Design
Besides the above mentioned visual art – animated films and Synesketch visualizations – I also held two solo exhibitions of comic books and drawings: 1051 Profiles Exhibition (2001) and The First Solo Exhibition (1999), with some early drawings, comic books, and caricatures.
I've also designed several logos for software and research projects, like Talaria Logo (2006), Synesketch Logo (2008), and Online-Presence Logo (2008). In addition, some more visual works and experiments can be found at my blog.
Writing, Travelling, and Storytelling
Back to Africa (2009-2010), Povratak u Afriku in Serbian, is a travelblog in Serbian by Lazar Pašćanović, Marko Đedović, and me, about a lowbugdet trip by land to Africa, from Belgrade, via Middle East. (In progress!)
The Two Minutes of Eclipse (2008), Dva Minuta Pomračenja in Serbian, is a travelblog in Serbian by Nenad Morača, Mario Janković-Romano, and me, about a trip to Siberian and Mongolian neverlands, with lots of text and 500+ photos, both geotagged on an interactive map. It had 20.000+ overall visits for the first month and a half (350+/day).
Moreover, during my high schools, I've been an editor-in-chief, writer, designer, cartooninst, and a main organiser of the school newspapers: Haos (2001-2002). Also, I've been a Storyteller and Game Master (2000-2004), in pen and paper, story and characer driven style, developing many original stories, interactive adventures, characters, maps, and riddles.
There is also time is funny (2007-present), my main blog.
