Article From Designisso Magazine

I am happy to share this article from Designisso (DIS), an online magazine edited and operated by the community of Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (Mome Grafika MA) in Budapest.
 
"One-Page Stories - A Selection from Mirko Ilić's Comics Course."
"In this world full of information and stimuli, sometimes we need a little distraction, a good laugh, or a moment of engrossment without committing to an extended read. One-page comics serve this purpose specifically. These bite-sized works combine humor, drama and creativity to achieve their impact on a single page.
 
In the compact world of one-page comics, only one name stands out: Mirko Ilić, who creates a balance between the short format and the depth of what is said, thus setting a new example for young artists. In the autumn semester, he visited MOME's Department of Design Graphics, specializing in illustration, where he held a one-week course. During the week, the students depicted their own narratives on a single page, in addition to the pleasant consultations, they were able to take a look at Mirko's work. Last but not least, the comic books were also completed."

Honorary University Professor Title from MOME

On Monday, October 9th, 2023, I had the great privilege of receiving an honorary university professor title from Rector József Fülöp from MOME, Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, in Budapest.

The same week I held a five-day workshop for students of MOME and as a part of Budapest Design Week, I held a Masterclass at the university titled Designer between Recognition and Purpose.
 
I am grateful to MOME for bestowing this honor upon me.

Posterfest in Budapest, Hungary

The 2nd Posterfest in Budapest, Hungary just announced the posters accepted for this year's show.
I am quite pleased that three of my posters were accepted, but I am even more pleased that I see (although purely alphabetical) my posters are almost touching shoulders with my friend Milton Glaser! On top of that, a couple of posters created for my Tolerance Poster Show also made the competition.

Thank you to Posterfest for choosing to display my work.
