JUTARNJI LIST/ 31.3.2020. “Nalazim se u seoskoj karanteni dva tjedna. Dosta radim, crtam i uređujem novi broj na webu. Dedlajn za stripove je 1.4. pa jos stignete poslati nešto! Komikaze su startale spremne na sve, u stilu doomsday preppersa, kroz web mreže pa u tom tonu i nastavljaju. Možda je sad baš prilika za ljude koji se još nisu oprobali u stripu da to učine. Crtanje stripova je sjajna terapija za život u samo-izolaciji!
Ako karantena potraje, a i ako ne, svratite na Komikaze stranicu s više od 5000 strip tabli i 300 autora. Neki/e autori/ce su već davno predvidjeli/e sve što nam se sprema!
Komikaze su nedavno dobile nagradu alternativnog stripa. Najveće je to moguće priznanje u svijetu stripa. Više na https://komikaze.hr“
O radu: “Motiv mi se sam nametnuo. Već dva mjeseca pratim ranjena lica pregorjelih medicinskih radnica koje s glavom u torbi i velikim srcem haraju na prvoj liniji bojišnice. Zamislila sam crtež kao svojevrsni hommage medicinskim sestrama. Put je popločan šarenim mozaikom koji zapljuskuje more. Velika Sestra ubija peto-koronaške zlikovce napikavajuci ih na sablje i šprickajući krv naokolo. Paralelno se odvija život. Pas veselo piški, maše repicem, drsko nas promatrajući iz »kadra«. Grmovi se zelene. More je izbacilo i nekog nedefiniranog stvora koji izvaljen leži, također gledajući u nas. Njegov opstanak je, kao i život cijelog crteža sada u rukama kolorista/ica.”

Overview Jutarnji list campaign
“In the days full of negativity caused by the beggning of the lockdown and the earthquake in Zagreb Jutarnji list wanted to encourage its readers by offering them opportunity to learn something new, reactivate old hobbies, discover new talents…
Colouring book represented a perfect way to distract their thoughts. It is scientifically proven that coloring books can have relaxing effect on people, they can also neutralize negative thoughts and they stimulate creativity. We wanted our readers to learn about our famous painters, to relax and to be creative which is why we also organized a giveaway.
Our readers were sending us their little work of arts inspired by the life in quarantine. Painters who have designed the coloring book have chosen the best works and our winners have won additional colouring books and they were thrilled by that.
The colouring book also showed suport to the regional artist scene, since the culture was among the industries suffering the greatest impact of the coronavirus crisis.”
