New works inspired by despair


In this one we can see a creature that appears to be a Tore Kong, whispering something to Superman. It seems he is pleased with what Tore has to say.

Our cover is finally blown


Due to some newspaper reporters, the biggest secret of Croatian street art scene finally got revealed. It started with the speculations in the last issue of weekly newspaper 'Globus'(check out the interview), and culminated a few days later. The identities of members of an art collective also known as 'Puma34' are finally no longer a secret. Pretending to be a on-man-street-art-figure, they acted as a collective, with each member adding their own unique style to the group. Hopefully, we will continue to do so, working like a giant organism instead of insisting on our individualities. It is our opinion that our real identities are of no importance, since only in the form of 'Puma34' we reach our full potential.

Intense days

Last few days have been very intense... I had a show in Motovun, promoting my book (yeah, it is finally out :)). I had some really great moments during those few days, but I also had moments when I felt terrible. I lost some of my old friends, gained some new, was disappointed in some of them, and positively surprised in others. There were times when I just wanted to give up on everything, I was so angry and bitter. Finally, I had to escape from Motovun in order to preserve my sanity. Now, writing this from my home, I still do not have a clear picture what went wrong, why was I so anxious to leave. Maybe all I need is some rest. I wanted to write something positive about this whole thing, but I still feel very bitter and disappointed about the way some of my friends behaved... Love for my friends, ignore for my enemies.

Cruising around in Luxembourg...


... I came across this great spot. It was a bit rough, but luckily I had my cruiser board with me with those sweet big wheels. I had fun.

Luxembourg exhibition



I was asked to participate on a group show in Luxembourg, same as two years ago. I was happy to go, since I really loved it last time i was there. I was planning to improvise, maybe do some street work and transfer the photos inside the gallery. No pressure.
When I got to Luxembourg, I had no idea what to do, nor did I have any finished works with me. As I was watching tv in my hotel room, every channel had the same story about the 40th anniversary of the Apollo11 mission to the moon. 20 channels and nothing to watch. I was so irritated that I started to plan a retaliation... what if Marilyn Monroe replaced Neil Armstrong as a third astronaut during that flight? What if she made the first contact with the extraterrestrials? How would that have affected her features? (He he he)

Empty fountain in Rome


I was disappointed to find out that the streets around Forte Prenestino were totally unskateable. Luckily, i had my cruiser board with me, with those big-ass wheels, and managed to get a nice little session in an empty fountain not far from our squat.

Vatican city




It was a long walk from Termini train station to the city of Vatican, but it was worth it. Never mind the history, the bookstores are absolutely amazing. A small tip to a traveller wandering the streets of Rome in summer; wear sun-cream.

Forte Prenestino, Roma, Italy






The story of appropriation of anatomical images also involves passionate disputes and accusations of plagiarism. Holding it down for anarchy in Italy's largest squat.

"Character dolls"


I am firmly convinced that this is my task in life, and nothing makes me more happy than when people view my collection and discover the magic.

Medika squat






It's a treat for an artist when someone else is good. It makes you believe in art again. I am truly thankful for meeting my girlfriend Oko.

Thunder gods



Why hang things on the wall when the wall itself is so much more challenging medium? Yeah. Well, for me, i have a very real, vital experience and exchange with the building-the more time i spend there the more happens and the more i enjoy it.

The element of destruction.






... reorganizing a situation which, because of things beyond my immediate control, is doomed. It is really amazing to see what some people would do to keep their facades grey. The best drawing was covered before i could take a picture.

Relax for a second, and your piece is gone.





Every object incorporates other objects just as it is itself incorporated within other systems. Ignoring that will lead to a false sense of self-sufficiency. I must make myself remember that.
