Artist's Comments
This is the illustration i did for the second tome of Serbian Mythology, ”Banished Demons”.
It has been a great experience and even greater privilege to work on a such a cool project with so many talented people.
The super talented artist that also did the illustrations for the book
are Milos Vujanovic, Ivica Stevanovic, Dragan Bibin, and one of my
biggest role models while growing up, Master Petar Meseldzija.
Milenko Bodirogic is the brilliant writer and the editor of the book,
but mostly the person that made sure this project saw the light of day.
Little info on this Demon:
A Midwife is a restless shadow of a woman who dies during her pregnancy
or labor. She wonders around furiously and uncalm, always reconsidering
and evaluating from all points of view, one and only thought: how did it
happen that life had been taken away from her at the very moment when
she was supposed to give the new life, when she had bonded to it, when
she had fallen in love with it, still unborn?
Midwives are, as we have said, furious, and there’s no peace in fury.
That is why they are revenging and venting their rage upon the most
vulnerable, on those who are just the same as they used to be, exhausted
by labor pain, by loosing blood and strength, on new mothers and the
most unable, the weakest creatures in the world - upon babies.
Hope you guys like it,
comments are more than welcome.
