Tomislav Torjanac was born in 1972 in Croatia, where he lives and works as a freelance illustrator. His life is not unlike his favourite medium (oil paints) or his style: slow and quiet, but colourful. When he’s not painting, he likes reading, listening to music, walking, trying to outstare his neurotic cat Puki or spending non-quality time with his two dogs Nero and His Brother. Amongst other things, he’s done many book covers and illustrated a few children’s books, including James Joyce’s The Cat and the Devil.
