The Work of Zoran Nova

Still studying at Sydney’s Billie Blue, 24 year old Zoran Nova has an impressive collection of work to date. And as he states, yes, he is very comfortable with a pencil in his hand.

How did you first get into drawing?
I have been drawing for as long as I can remember, I have memories of drawing Disney characters and other cartoons when I was little. I have always loved to just grab and pencil or what ever I could get my hands on and just doodle.

You have a lot of great pieces done in pencil. What is it about this medium that attracts you?
I guess I am just really comfortable with a pencil in my hand. Its what I have always used the most. I love the simplicity of it, you don’t need anything fancy, just grab a pencil and some paper and you’re ready to rock.

What do you find most challenging in your work?
I would have to say being patient most definitely, it can take a lot to keep focus on one particular piece for such a strenuous time.

Where do you find inspiration?
Everywhere; Life is one giant ball of inspiration, it can be the most random little thing that makes my brain click. I also frequently visit lots of design/inspiration websites and blogs.

What are you reading/watching/listening to/browsing at the moment?
At the moment, I am listening to a lot of Deadmau5. I’m seeing him live in November! Can’t wait. Birds of Tokyo, The Kooks, The Chilli Peppers and The Bloody Beetroots are also on ‘repeat’. For those nights that im feeling lazy I have five seasons of ‘The Wire’ and seven seasons of ‘The Shield’ to get through, both awesome shows.

What can we expect to see from you in the future?
I am currently working on my first series that I am hoping to finish in the next couple of months along with building my website.

What would be your dream project or client to work on?
My dream client would have to be converse! I am obsessed with chucks(I own 16 pairs) and it would be a dream to be able to do a pair for them.
