neonufo

I am Jim Pavlica and I create under the artist pseudonym NeonUFO.
I work as a freelance artist, comic artist and character/mascot designer.

I studied full 4 years at Ljubljana Fine Arts Academy as an illustration student, but have not yet completed my final thesis project. I completed my high school education in graphic design at the High School of Design in Maribor. My skill shows best in digital illustration, with a colourful, expressive, and diverse style. I work fast, and stay in touch with my client throughout the process.

Work experiences:

• Freelance work (Illustrations for the YouTube channel ChundoVO, several logos and graphic designs for local companies and projects, 10+ years of private online commissions)
• Illustrations for the Kefirko Kickstarter video
• Children’s book illustrations at a local company SMAR-TEAM from 2010 to 2012 (three books)
• Storyboarding for an online group project UNDERSONG in 2017-2018
