Evacuation

– So, why coffee from a teapot?

– It’s a long story, my dear, but the shortest answer would be – a joyful habit!

– I’ve never heard of anyone making coffee in a teapot.

– You know, when I moved into this apartment, for a long time, I only had one, worn-out saucepan. I used it to make coffee, tea, an egg once a day, and sometimes soup. I also used it to grab water and rinse my hair when I took a bath. And then I was given a teapot by a friend from work, which soon replaced the saucepan, and now I use it to make coffee and water the flowers. Now, I can finally afford to buy a coffee pot, but somehow it hasn’t happened yet!

HOME OFFICE

In my previous text about Water (Part 1) I have written that it is an element that helps us express ambition, will, ideas related to work and career. This is its second part, a text about the connection of Water and workspace at home and home office decoration.

Water

(Part 1)

Feng shui, if we completely simplify it – which is the way to improve our life conditions – is the practice of harmonizing the elements: Metal, Earth, Fire, Wood and Water. Each element has its own characteristics, as well as duality. Each element has its yang – male and its yin – female nature.

The Pliocene Woman

The Earth’s Big Bang happened between four and five billion years ago, and the planet will live a total of about 12 billion years before it is either devoured or scorched by the Sun, ultimately, a red giant. However, if we illustrate the history of our planet with a clock on which one hour marks billion years, we can see how the presence of animals and plants is noticeably short, starting around four and ending around five o’clock.

The DELIVERER

Graphic Novel by Nemo Balkanski

“I remember a time of chaos, this wasted land…” is a part of the opening monologue spoken by the Great Northern Tribe’s leader and chief in George Miller’s cult film The Road Warrior.

This brutal, anti-utopian environment of Mad Max is only one of the worlds in the rich heritage of international film and comic books, with which The Deliverer, the new comic book by Nemanja Moravic Balkanski, is engaged.
