About the author....
Hi, my name is Stuart Kolakovic and I just about manage to draw pictures for a living here in the U.K. I graduated from Kingston University with a First Class honors in Illustration (2007), where I won a D&AD New Blood award for "Milorad", an 80 page comic book about my Serbian Grandad, and recently came runner up in The Observer Graphic short Story competition. So far my clients have included Reaktion publishing, KU Press, The Natural History Museum, Caughtinthecrossfire, NYU Physician Magazine and Plan B magazine. I'm currently working towards my first solo show in Manchester, entitled "Never Been", and a new book and look forward to sleeping sometime in the future.
I was given practically free reign to design a whole wrap around book jacket for a novel that documents the author’s travels around Romania and the gypsies that he meets. If you dream of never seeing cars and wish you could live without this thar internet thing, this book is for you!
