These are some illustrations i made for a child book (by George Gouzounis) that was published in Australia by the Greek Community.

The outline of this short story goes like this: A young girl (Ellie) returns home one day from school and finds a small monster in her room. However she doesn't remove it and says she will do it tomorrow. This goes on quite a while with the monster growing up rapidly and doing damages. At the end the monster is so big that she has to ask for help by her mother and together they manage to drive it away.

This is a 3pages story about a man having difficulty sleeping. I didn't want to add any words /texts as the story is designed to have a dreamy atmosphere.

I used Photoshop for coloring.

This is a short story for a brown pigeon living in a big city like Athens. It was a story i was thinking to send to the 9th competition of the comic magazine "9" (summer 2009). Finally i changed my mind and sent the short story called Night Shadows.

The texts are in greek. I used pencils for the colors.

Pigeon was exhibited at the Antifascist Festival in Syros, 7-11 June 2012.

This is a 6pages story for a knight returning to his homeland. Perhaps one of the oldest stories I have written, at start as a small novel (under a big influence of Kafka) and then much later as an even smaller comic. A Knight King carrying a message from the Emperor returns after a big absence to his land only to find that everything is ruined and all people are gone (or dead). But perhaps this is not exactly the truth.

All texts are in greek. I used Photoshop for coloring and lettering.

Perhaps one of the oldest stories I have written along with Coming Home, at start as a small novel (under a big influence of Kafka) and then much later as an even smaller comic. A young boy having a request enters an official building at night only to get stuck by bureaucracy. The girl figure in the last page is a tribute to one of my favourites comics (the Sandman, by Neil Geiman).I must admit that there is a strong anti-religious theme here, but I hope that most thinking people won't find it offensive.

This comic was my first attempt to use Photoshop for colors, textures and lettering. All texts are in greek.

The texts are in greek. I used watercolors for coloring.

Citizenship was exhibited at the Antifascist Festival in Syros, 7-11 June 2012.

This is a single page story for a young boy facing justice.

This story derives from an actual poem I have written long ago and decided to convert it to comic. This is also the case for the stories The Player and A Poem. The initial thought was to leave them without color and to use them as illustrations-poems in a collection of poems i was working with. This project was abandoned and therefore i added color and left them as standalone comics.

The texts are in greek. I used Photoshop for coloring and lettering.

This is a single page story for a football player in the middle of the game. He is an offensive player but has long ago lost his ability to score. His teemates, therefore, try to avoid passing the ball to him and he gets angry.The basic influence for this comic was a story i heard about a very good offensive player that couldn't score even if he passed the entire opposite team.

The Player became the script and basis for an animation i made in 2013 (you can see the animation in the respective section).

We Want Everything

Summer of 1969, Italy. A year after May '68, FIAT workers began a dynamic and unmediated strike against their powerful boss. Their struggle marked the beginning of a decade of workers' and students' mobilizations and the rise of the Autonomy movement. It was characterized by many as the last invasion of the working class into the sky. Last ... let's hope until the next one ...
