3DTotal: Do you have a personal dream project you would like to work on?
Kosta: Well, since Peter Jackson already made “Lord Of The Rings”, I was thinking maybe I can direct “Conan”, someday.
3DTotal: What does a regular day involve for you?
Kosta: Usually, I get up somewhere around 10 AM, turn off the alarm clock that has been sounding since 8, brush my teeth and go back to sleep. I wake up again in an hour or two, get my sister to make me a coffee, while trying to un-weld my eyes’ vertexes. The rest of the day I work, excluding the cases when the weather is good and my motorcycle is running (lately, both conditions are rarely met at the same time). When I’m really into what I’m doing, which is the case these days, I can end up working ‘till 4-5 AM. Before I go to bed, I usually decide that tomorrow is the day I start a new way of life, with schedule and all, which will include a real day/night cycle + some free time when I get to do absolutely nothing, and wind up the alarm for 8 AM. I then put the clock as far from the bed as possible and go to sleep.

3DTotal: Do you have one piece of advice for any aspiring artists out there?
Kosta: Yeah, actually I have three. There are a lot of personal and absolute truths you bump into whilst you live. Some of them are important, and the chance that they can make a difference to even one person, makes them something that you have no right NOT to share. One of the things is that you don’t actually have to wait for inspiration. Most artists just sit around waiting for the creative black hole to go away, whilst banging their heads on the wall and complaining about it – it’s very artistic and dramatic, but wrong. You don’t have to rely on inspiration’s |

choice whether to appear or not, but you must rather go look for it in your favourite books, movies, places, spending time with your friends or whatever. Inspiration comes with work – it’s the fuel for your artistic V-twin, and though you have to push it sometimes - there’s no stopping you, once you get it running. The second advice: believe in yourselves. Do not stop painting or modelling only because at some point you decide your work doesn’t look good - give it a chance. Maybe it’s a butterfly, ready to spread its wings on the next stroke of the brush. Do not be afraid, and do not dismiss your ideas, even if they seem too big for you. We all tend to get scared of something that is actually achievable, saying “I cannot do this or that” or “I’m not good enough”, and we give up too easily – whilst all we need to do is to be persistent and go on. Just believe you will make it - and you will. And my last advice: always make sure you have enough distance to react to unpredictable manoeuvres if you see a woman driving the nearby vehicle. Trust me on this one. |
