faith rising Place of birth: U.K

Black Cat: Hi David, please introduce yourself. Could you tell us where you’re from and how you got started in the field?
David Anthony Magitis: Hello I'm from the U.K. I started painting at a very early age, mostly walls/ doors ect. Unfortunatly this was not appreciated so I decided to move onto better materials such as paper.
Though out my education art was my biggest passion inspired by all the fantastic album covers you used to get back in the day. So I thought I'd like to have a go at that. After leaving school I went straight to college and after 2 years got a diploma in graphic design. Spent the next 3 years at university and earned a BA Hons degree in graphic design.

Robert Bauder ( aka: Mr. B ) Interview

Black Cat Hits: 68

Place of Birth: Mount Vernon, WA United States
BC: When did you first start making art? Tell us about you and your personality…
Mr. B: . I have been making art as long as I can remember, to tell you the truth. Of course, it wasn't anything too serious at first...mostly consisting of coloring contests and boredom induced doodles on homework assignments and such. Only until recent years, I began to give my art meaning...something to think about. Initially, my work was motivated by my indiscriminate hate for just about everything and everyone.....but in more recent moments, I have sharpened my aim to all of the very elements that fuel my hate in the first place. This creative process is exclusive to my work that is perceived as "dark"...though I have certainly painted a pissed off still life here and there.  

BC: Could you tell us about some of your work? Which is your favourite painting?..and why?
Mr. B: My work serves to communicate my theories of the universe, to expose the devils of society and to articulate my psychological dynamic to viewers...and ultimately to myself. You could call the creative process my drug of choice...or a means of putting my negative emotions to bed. As for my favorite painting, I don't actually have one...in fact, I hate them all. My work is not only a process of creation...but more, it is a process of relief...not so different from someone who cuts themself just to bleed.

Zeljko Djurovic Interview

Black Cat Hits: 62

Place of birth: Montenegro

BC: How would you like to introduce yourself to our public? Who is Zeljko Djurovic?
ZD: To say it in the simplest way, Zeljko Djurovic is a painter, the man who is in love with paintings and old masters, a man who believes that it is possible, even today, to make paintings which would outlast generations, a man who walks on the sunny side of the street, believes in art and builds his existence on art.

BC: What is your cultural and personal background? How did you start being involved with art, did you look for it or was it art to find you actually?
ZD: I firmly believe that art found me. In my earliest childhood I showed a certain tendency to creativity. I made my first toys myself. I made my first sculptures in sand on the Mediterranean beach of Ulcinj, Montenegro when I was a boy, and I was very miserable when waves destroyed them.
