HSF uzleće

Dugo (duže nego inače) su trajale pripreme za ovogodišnji HERCEGNOVSKI STRIP FESTIVAL. Za razliku od prethodnih godina, gdje su dogovori tekli glatko, a problemi dolazili kasnije, ove godine je išlo obrnutim redom. Mnogi autori i autorke s kojima sam kontaktirao imaju drugih obaveza baš u vrijeme HSF--a (ove godine se održava u periodu od 2. do 7. septembra), pa je već počela da me hvata panika da ću raditi festival bez gostiju, što ne bi imalo baš puno smisla. Ipak, pčetkom juna, konačno se javio prvi zvanični gost festivala, gospodin Iztok Sitar (Slovenija).

Iztok Sitar

Biografiju Iztoka Sitara ćete uskoro moći pročitati na sajtu HSF-a, a za ovu priliku ću da maznem tekst sa njegove facebook stranice, tek da bi  čitaocima ovog bloga malo približio lik i djelo ovog autora:


About Iztok
Iztok Sitar was born on a stormy night in Ljubljana, where he miraculously finished Design school. Since he was a poor student, everyone (from his parents and other relatives to teachers and policemen) thought that he would never amount to anything. They were not wrong: he became a cartoonist. Since the desire has always been beyond the capability, he made a bunch of bad comics that nobody reads, and a few good ones, which also no one reads. In his rebellious teens he started drinking, smoking and partying, which he strictly does nowadays and which really does not contribute to the quality of his comics. Despite that, he has so far released fifteen albums, which he gives friends as birthday and New Year presents, so he is no longer invited to celebrations. Although he is semi-literate (he is not fluent in either English or Swahili, let alone in command of the Cyrillic alphabet) he occasionally writes an occasional review or occasional cartoon history of Slovenian comics. Otherwise, he loves to sleep, and hates it when anyone wakes him up.

U međuvremenu ih se javilo još, pa se ukupan broj gostiju (računajući i stalne - Tico, Mirna i Vlada) popeo (za sada) na 9. O svim gostima (dva Darka, Domenu, Gašperu, Branku...) i o događajima na ovogodišnjem HSF-u ću vas svakodnevno informisati ovdje na blogu, a za koji dan očekujte i sajt.
