About
Nina Bunjevac (Bun·je·vac – Pronunciation: \ˈbən-je-vak\) – comic book artist, illustrator, presently residing in Toronto.
Nina started her training in Yugoslavia, at the Djordje Krstic school for applied arts and continued on to the Art Centre of Central Technical School in Toronto. In 1997, Nina graduated from OCAD (Ontario College of Art and Design), Drawing and Painting department. Formerly a painter and a sculptor, Nina found her calling in sequential arts, a form that seemed to naturally evolve out of the narrative component in her sculpture installation work. Pen and ink became the medium of choice.
Nina is also an art teacher. Multiple winner of the OAC Artist in Education grant, she has taken her cartooning and zine-making projects into a number of Toronto public schools. In the summer of 2006, Nina co-created a zine-making pilot program at the Malvern Public Library, funded by Toronto Culture and the Toronto Public Library.
In 2008 and 2009 Nina taught Principles of Drawing, Life Drawing and Drawing Heads and Features at Max the Mutt animation school in Toronto.
