Jiří Grus
He graduated from the Václav Hollar Art School and the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague - studio of classical painting techniques under Prof. Zdeněk Beran. He currently works as a freelance painter and illustrator. He made his comic debut in 1991 in the magazine Bublinky, and since 1999, his comics have regularly appeared in various domestic and foreign titles – in magazines like AARGH!, Crew, Pot, Zkrat, Živel, Comix, 9, and Heavy Metal. In 2000 and 2001, he received a Czech award for the best comic book artist and at the same time won three awards at the International Comic Festival in Lodz, Poland. In 2006, he published his first solo album titled Nitro overflowing glycerin in collaboration with Štěpán Kopřiva, released in the Czech Republic, Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands. He is currently intensely working on his own authorial series Voleman. Concurrently, his standalone one-page Voleman stories are published in the Saturday supplement of the daily Deník.
Jerry and Anna Kozovi
The latest project of the authorial and partnership duo began with their little son Alfík. They did not want him to be overwhelmed by expensive, tasteless disposable plastic toys. The care with which he explores everything deserved more refined objects. So they decided to design his own toys. Toys that would "age" with him. Such that would become cherished by all and passed down from generation to generation, just like the old good children's Thonet chairs that our grandparents used to sit on.
Martin Matiska and Petr Uhlík (atelier-um)
They founded the architectural office in 2001 after a long-term collaboration and after graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts (Uhlík), or after completing their internships at leading Czech studios. The studio's activity has focused on an individual approach to assignments and clients, aiming to ensure that reasonable solutions also carry charm and elevation. A natural evolution of this relationship with work resulted in the current independence of the founders and the establishment of two independent studios.
