About the artist
I’m Nevena , but my closest friends call me Nenny . I born in 1986 in the small bulgarien town Pleven , now I work and study in Sofia (the capital of the country). In Hightschool I studied a lot of Maths but I was always in love with cartoons , drawing and all that (so in love that some times I was ashamed of it ). So after hightschool I went to Sofia for an education of design in the biggest technical university in Bulgaria – I had excellent grades but I was really pissed with all the maths and engeneering stuffs in the middle of technical design university I quit and went to study animation film making in New Bulgarin University and am really happy I did that – never been happier before
Seems drawing , film making , motion graphics and all that has been all along waiting for me . I also really enjoy graffity bur haven’t really done any (just drew in hightschool some doodles on the wall
I really like comics too – reading , making – anything:)
Discovering a talent
I didn’t want to think of myself as a talented person since a couple of years . Before that both of my parents wanted to sort of push me into something more praxtical like a lawer or an engenierer , and I was afraid to think of my love for drawing as an option for education or a way of making money , so thecnical design was something in between I guess … seems now not a good one
When I started to draw 30-40 hours in university and saw I was really good in doing it and liked it and realised I wanted to do that more and in more ways (not just static ). Ever since I’m diskovering more about myself in unpredicted ways trought drawing and storytelling.

Workstation
Favourite softwares
I don’t have really favourite software – when I’m drawing for myself I use traditional technics and then I blend them with photoshop work . At work most of the time I work with Digital Fusion ,Photoshop and Particle Illusion since I’m doing a lot of motion graphics . Since the summer I started using more and more Illustrator ,Fireworks, Premier and Flash but I think thas natural because of the nature of my education and work.

And now I see you have three titled “nonsense”. The two I liked in particular were the woman with the feathers and the two strange creatures!
