Text: Igor Prassel /photos Bojan Brecelj Tomaz Lavric - TBC; smokes a lot, doesn’t get enough exercise and hates public appearances. Tomaz Lavric, better known as TBC (but sometimes also as Diareja, J. Visarjonovic, Ton Ton, Lovro Matic…) was born in Ljubljana on a stormy autumn night in 1964. He went to study paintings at the Ljubljana Art Academy, but escaped the school in 1987 because he started to work on illustrations job for the weekly Mladina magazine. Ever since he’s been making a living by drawing illustrations, comics and political cartoons. The most successful contemporary Slovenian author, Lavric "the great chameleon... ...a man who draws in a thousand styles", as defined by his Slovene colleague Jakob Klemencic, links his different drawing stiles with a striking talent for cinematic composition. His drawing style has been reduced to an expressive contrast of black and white.
