Dream Watcher

Dreamwatcher

By Aleksandar Zograf (Slab-O-Concrete)
ISBN: 1-899866-13-2

Aleksandar Zograf is a fiercely creative artist, and very dedicated. During the Balkan conflict that scarred the end of the last century he ignored all entreaties to leave his home in Panchevo, Serbia, preferring to remain, suffer and share the privations that tested his countrymen and record his life, impressions and dreams in a series of astoundingly powerful mini-comics and cartoons.

This slim collection gathers not just strips of an autobiographical nature, but also many pieces garnered from the author’s interest in Dreams, The Unconscious and Hypnagogic states.

Rather than dilute the absorbing power of his moody artwork and unique story-telling perspective I’ll simply state that his particular graphic narratives and his gripping, heavy art are some of the most enthralling I’ve ever encountered, and if you’re at all interested in the alternative and cutting edge in comics, you need to tack down Zograf’s work.
