ZiGoMaR
I used to be a comics pro for 22 short years... drew my whole life, wrote stuff, worked in animation, storyboards, character design, illustration...  ... "all gone, but NOT forgotten"... NOT ANYMORE!!! For, I AM BACK. I live and work in London, England. Originally I come from Belgrade, gorgeous capital of Serbia, small south-eastern European country that used to be part of now non-existent Yugoslavia which has disappeared in the horrendous civil war during 1990`s. On www.myspace.com/bassmonsterbojan you can see some nice pics of me, people I play music with, some friends and family... ... and yes, some drawings I did, too.  Hell, if you got extra time on your hands, you can read my myspace BLOG. I mention comics and people from funnybook world a lot. I stopped being a pro at the beginning of 1998, drew my [then] last comics pages in October 2004, sketched 'for fun' towards the end of 2005... and that was it -- for now I am drawing comics AGAIN, full time, since January2008.   I`m proud of my humble contributions to TwoMorrows, probably best publisher of stuff ABOUT comics. You can see my stuff in COMICOLOGY #4 (alas, discontinued mag) and the George Khoury book TRUE BRIT about British sequential art greats. Visit www.twomorrows.com or http://twomorrows.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=6 in particular if you want to check out my jokular interview with great BRIAN BOLLAND! It`s just the edited version but you`ll see a LOT of great man`s pencil drawings and other interesting things. Thanks for stopping by, all the best and - see you in the funny papers! Or... is it 'funny online pages' now..? -------------- MY OTHER SPACE IS WWW.MYSPACE.COM/BASSMONSTERBOJAN  --------------- All images are Copyright (c) their respective copyright owners Artwork done by me

I also havet o work to survive... NOT to live, just to survive. I have to finish a college for computers that I essentially didn`t need. I need to play in a band, live, I don`t care about creating 'original' material, just about doing it for the audience. I craved to be published, to do comics that are like the stuff we love and cool publisher unleash... but the industry never wanted me, I was the one that never got chewed and spat out - I wasn`t appealing even to be bitten. I hate the industry, passionatelly. I loathe the practises of the comics business and the whole business. I just love some people`s work and some characters and that`s it. I`m happy to sketch every now and then when I get the urge. Ther est of the time I love to practise my bass and that`s it. And you..? What do you do for living..? |

But yea, I play bass and guitar, piano, harmonica, the kazoo lol. Well I hope you have a great day and I'll talk to ya later! 1 Reply [ Latest posted on January 8th, 2007 7:04 PM ]

You multi-instrumentalist, you..! I wish we could get the space to exibit our artwork or post blogs, rants etc. This is just... I dunno, too timid at this stage. Josh told me he intends to offer much more soon, but when`s soon..? I was in two minds to start a second MySpace site, just for my comicbook Jeckyll/Hyde side and kep the first one I got (myspace.com/bassmonsterbojan) for, well, bass and music... but then I learned about this and voila! I GOT MY SECOND COMICBOOKY SPACE! In a way, for now it`s like getting a present that you simply can`t open. Pity... |

I used to play mean piano and guitar but from 2001 I am practically the bassman to the hilt. I`m dying here... lots of new sketches I`ve done and no chance to present them on comicspace... no chance to blog... and I`m bursting with stories to tell, provocative stuff, pics to show... you name it... |

HEY KIDS! Unka-Ziggy`s got -- **GASP..!** -- another site, the ever-lovin` nest of rock'n'roll depravity and bass worship called...
www.myspace.com/bassmonsterbojan
so pop-in, see some ghastly photos, leave comments, see them drawings AND READ THE DAMNED BLOG!
http://blog.myspace.com/bassmonsterbojan
Then imagine how the better place this world shall become when COMICSPACE.COM provides its deprived children with the blog-space and all the palaver! O boy oboyoboyoboyoboy..!
Now behave, clean those desks and tables you used to draw & write the stuff on and commit deeds mothers still have nightmares about the world over... and do something noble for the loved ones. There`s less & less good people in this world, y`know... Hugs, ~~ z ~~

Just heard one artist has passed away recently and got VERY sad... but me being me, I checked the facts first, to avoid blogging the info on my other homepage and maybe appearing as a sad butt of contemptuous jokes.
Guess what..? The info about the man`s death was A PRANK. Just a joke by a friend of his. Well -- 'ha-ha' indeed.
I`m not climbing on any 'high moral grounds' here, this actually says more about me and my nature than about the obsequious attempts by others to achieve who-konows-whats by threading on the questionable side of taste.
At the end of a day - WHATEVER.
No need to mourn, no need to be sad. Well -- that`s it.
Boy, do I need a blog page here... |

It seems I have to visit your page to notice you replied. I received nothing stating you had. I emailed Josh asking how we would know if someone replied to our comment on their page but he hasn't had a chance to respond. In the meantime I guess we are stuck with checking each others pages, lol. Hope to hear from you again. |

Tsk-tsk-tsk... not exactly a proud Sunday school ex-pupil, eh..? Still, even if there was no Xmas, it should have been invented. The 'human cattle' thinks it`s the time for shopping sprees and puking till the liver explodes. The enlightened ones observe the solstice and respectfully acknowledge the importance of being a decent human being* and Christian too. __________________ * we know that in this cathegory one has to put comicbook people first, then bassists. After that - others. |

It seems you can reply to any comment, but you can't reply to a reply, which is kinda stupid. Who gets the email? The original commenter or everyone involved? Let's see. I'm replying to my own comment now, hope you either get an email, or just notice it otherwise. The problem is, you only see the original message, not the replies you're actually responding to.
You guessed it, being a good little Christian is reeeally important to me. I just try to be a bearable human all year and, yes, I give a few gifts to the important people around this time of year. It's just a nice tradition if you don't fret about it too much. Besides, they pay double for bartending on holidays. ;) |

[ Posted by ZiGoMaR on Dec 17th, 2006 2:39 PM ]...
got your reply, now i`m replying to the reply of your reply on my re... aw, forget it. we can communicate, that`s what matters. good to be a good christian, better to be a decent human being and then the proud member of any religion. it is very important, religion rules, religion is good, misuse of it is bad. i didn`t get this as an email, just as the reply beneath your maint hing and above my reply to... you get it. chaaaarzz ~~ z ~~ |

[ Posted by TWL on Dec 18th, 2006 5:22 AM ]...
I think we've figured this out, you get an email for a reply to your comment on another's page, but you have to (at least for the moment) to keep track of replies on another's comments on yours. I just woke up so I just have to hope that sentence makes sense.
I'm not religious, but I think it's definitely a good thing to have a code to live by, be it from a religion or just a sense of trying to leave things better off than you found them. And yes, organized religion has been abused throughout the history in horrible ways, so the first needs a bit of the latter to make the world a better place. |

Thank you for stopping by and saying "hey" and the "holiday wishes". You are a true scholar and a gentleman.
I'm hoping we'll get to hear some of your stories from our illustrious career.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.

You`re more than welcome, Rand. You`ll hear and read TONS of exquisite stories as soon as blogging is available on comicspace.com but in the meantime I`ll have to [re]direct you to www.myspace.com/bassmonsterbojan where I dwell under the different guise and monicker, pretending that I am an ex-comicbook worm and mean hard rockin` bass-shredder who scares the sh*t out of guitarists and such. On myspace.com I got some nice blogged observations, comics included. and if you`ve read my monologue under the nifty wee lion sketch done with red pencil, there`s a link to one of TwoMorrows web-pages where my EXCELLENT interview with Brian Bolland lives, awaiting to be discovered by the breathlessly awaiting world. Thanks for everything, keep them pencils sharp and markers tightly capped. ~~ z ~~ Pee-Ess ~~ ahhh, if you only knew the story of Zigomar -- what -- or rather WHO was Zigomar..? THE TIME WILL TELL..! But if you knew what a story that is, you`d... ah, never mind. |
