George Demetriou


George Demetriou is a young aspiring artist from Cyprus. He is 16 years old and currently a student at the Grammar School of Nicosia. George has been drawing since a very young age and the only thing that can compete with his love for art is music.

Art and music have always been his greatest passions and he aspires to be a talented artist and musician. He wishes to pursue an occupation that is relative to art and accomplish all his artistic endeavours. We wish him best of luck!

Currently, George is working on a collaborative comic book with a friend, which they hope to publish sometime in 2016. However, George will reveal a small preview from their comic book at this year’s convention, which he will showcase along with the rest of his artwork and illustrations.

We hope you are all looking forward to seeing George’s work in progress comic and more of his creations this coming August!

Cyprus Board Gamers @ CCC’15!


Cyprus Board Gamers is a growing community in Cyprus dedicated to board games and their sole purpose is the promotion of the hobby on the island. With their participation at Cyprus Comic Con they aim to show the public just how amazing the world of board games really is!

Members of the group will be available at their allocated area to present and demonstrate a number of modern board games and to showcase how much board games have changed in recent years. They will also provide details about the group’s regular meetings in Nicosia and Limassol.

For more information, you can join Cyprus Board Gamers on Facebook.

When we play a board game, it’s so that we can travel to mythical islands, grow civilizations with great cities, solve mysteries and save the world. The best aspect of our hobby is that we get to do all of these with our friends and families. Laughing and talking. We love board games and we want you to feel the same way. ” – Cyprus Board Gamers

If you also love board games or want to be re-introduced to them, keep an eye out for the Cyprus Board Gamers table area at the convention – you are sure to find more like-minded people there and even meet new friends to play with!

Cyprus Comic Con is all about helping this kind of communities grow and we are thrilled to be able to offer a platform for so many diverse groups of people to get together around shared interests and hobbies!

Katarzyna I. Kowalska


Katarzyna I. Kowalska is a contemporary self-proclaimed pop surrealist, who takes her inspiration from anything that’s dreamy and eerie. She was born in Bytom (Poland). At first she wanted to become a musician, so she graduated from Bytom’s Music School in Poland in class of viola. But her passion for drawing began creeping up on her.

Shortly after, in 2011 she received her art education and completed BA with Hons in Illustration at the University of Wolverhampton in United Kingdom. She worked as a freelance illustrator, storyboard artist and graphic designer ever since. During that time, she has also became fascinated with stop motion animation, and created single-handedly number of short animations, including titles, like: “The Judgment”, “James and the Giant Peach” and “The Perfume”.

To see more of Katarzyna’s work, visit her page on Facebook.

Kowalska began painting the big eyed girls few years ago. The girls with sadness in their big, glassy eyes are little symbols of artist’s thoughts. The belief that “eyes reflect the soul” is a simple and accurate description of artist’s characters. They all have their little secrets.

Currently Katarzyna I. Kowalska is painting in her little studio in Cyprus, Paphos. Her work has been sold in the country and internationally. Her future plans involve two single exhibitions in Cyprus and opening online shop with her artworks.

Katarzyna will be one of the featured artist to showcase their work at this year’s Cyprus Comic Con and we are confident that her big-eyed girls will capture everyone’s attention!

Looking forward to see more of Katarzyna’s work? Let us know in the comments below!
