Born in Negotin 22.01.1970, son of mother nature and father engineer. First years of my life I spent happily in woods of Badnjevo hill accompanied with owls, hawks and woodpackers. First serious interest in draftsmanship shown about age of 4. During elementary school, I have also finished music elementary coarse for trumpet and at age 11 already performing public in and outside Yugoslavia with Negotin City Orchestra. Through this period I developed interests in reading. History, nature, politics, science, comics, film and music. Up till today I have never been able to narrow my field of interst. After the high school and one year of Military training I enroled Agricultural University in Belgrade on my parents behalf, but find no interest, except in anatomy of animals.
