As part of Madrid Gráfica 2020, an international event dedicated to graphic design, they organized Covid Exit poster exhibition. From submitted posters by 572 graphic designers from 45 countries, the jury selected 100 posters. They are being exhibited both in the city’s squares and at the Central de Diseño at Matadero, Madrid. I am pleased that my poster is among the selected.
The organization Moje mjesto pod suncem (My Place Under the Sun) originated in Rijeka, Croatia. Their program's primary goal is to provide children below the poverty line with activities that will enable them to grow and develop based on their abilities rather than on the severe social context surrounding them. They offer these kids quality extra-institutional education in the hope that it will boost their self-esteem and self-reflection, and help them realize their full potential.
NYC Street Version of the Anti-Coronavirus poster
That was enough for me I wanted the poster/message to appear on less official ad spaces and that way could get attention of more of the community in NYC. I paid to print and distribute poster on Manhattan Bronx and Queens.You will see in the link even David Byrne put my poster on his instagram with a comment.

Here are a few photos from 14th Golden Bee Global Biennale of Graphic Design in Moscow. I am very pleased that the Biennale included two of my posters for JDP, Yugoslav Drama Theater in Belgrade, Serbia in their spectacular show.
More about the JDP posters you can read here and here.
Some time ago, I came across the original comics page from Mighty Thor by John Buscema from 1979. Despite the relatively low price, I didn’t buy it. There was nothing special or unique on that page for me.
But recently, I came across the original sketch of that same page, and whatever the finished page didn’t have, fluidity, dynamic, energy, this sketch had it. And now, this one is mine.
I just received this beautiful book Making Posters by .
"With a special focus on conceptualization, internationally-acclaimed and award-winning designers Natalia Delgado and Scott Laserow takes you though planning, analyzing and creating posters that stop viewers in their tracks. Classic and contemporary examples from around the world show you what can be achieved at the cutting-edge of the medium - from protest and propaganda posters, through pop culture and Swiss style, to animated and interactive designs."
I am pleased that my posters for JDP, Yugoslav Drama Theater in Belgrade, Serbia and for SVA, School of Visual Arts in New York City are included in the book among all these posters from amazing artists from around the world.
