Igor Hofbauer

Igor Hofbauer was born in Zagreb in 1974. He lived whole life in New Zagreb, to be precise. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb. While he was studying at the Academy, he also studied and played drums. After some time he quitted the Academy. From that moment onwards, he made his living on illustration, doing non profitable business but doing exactly what he wanted: drawing comics, posters and books.

Igor Hofbauer is known among many fans of alternative music, since he had a great impact on club scene's visual identity. His most famous work are posters and flyers for the club Mocvara in Zagreb and at least 20 album covers for Croatian and foreign bands.

The style of his posters and drawings is immediately recognisable, because it is based on a combination of classic American comics and film noir, pop art, German Expressionism, and Russian Constructivism, cleverly connected by the hand of a skilled designer.
