KAREL OSOHA (comics book writer and artist; Czechia)
Guest appearance: all days
Karel Osoha is a writer and artist. He is one of the most successful local young comic book artists of today. Already during his studies, he encountered larger projects - he created comics ČEŠI 1948: JAK SE KSČ CHOPILA MOCI, in which he collaborated with the historian Pavel Kosatík (2016). The year 2018 brought two interesting projects - an illustration of the science fiction novel PRAŠINA by Vojtěch Matocha and the first part of the comic trilogy NÁVRAT KRÁLE ŠUMAVY based on the bestseller by David Jan Žák.
He comes from Prague. In 2018, he completed his animation studies at the Prague Academy of Performing Arts in the Studio of Television and Film Graphics, but his "greatest passion" remains comics. According to his own words, he praises how the comic allows you to "immediately capture the story". He has been distributing his works to all possible publishers for a long time, so it is no wonder that the publishing house soon started contacting him. He first drew attention to himself with the web comic PLÍČ, which is a parody of Japanese action stories. He has been creating his own blog since 2009.
He contributed, for example, to VĚJÍŘ - sborník české mangy in 2011-2015 and to several issues of Aargh! and BubbleGun fanzines. He also participated in the preparation of the catalog for Komiksfest 2015 and the comic book presenting of the best of RYCHLÉ ŠÍPY (2018). You will also find his art in three stories based on a real event, about women in a passing time of totalitarianism called TOTÁLNÍ NASAZENÍ (2017). In the autumn of 2019, he was invited to the Czech-German comics symposium at the Klenová chateau in the Klatovy region, where, together with 8 other guets, he created an adaptation of Goethe's Faust.
Osoha also received many awards - for ČEŠI 1948 he won the Muriel Award for Best Drawing (2017) and the novel PRAŠINA, in which he participated, was nominated for Magnesia litera in the Litera category for a book for children and youth (2019). He also received a nomination for Czech Grand Design for both works.
