ARTISTS 
Zoltan Boros and Gabor Szikszai, living far from home, formed a friendship in high-school, in the residence halls of Budapest Secondary School of Fine Arts. They worked on their first common project soon after meeting, when they created illustrations for Galaktika, one of Hungary's most popular science and science fiction magazines. Both were influenced by the other's talent, style and visions. They accepted each other's critical remarks and observations and tried to make use of each other's strengths.  
As time went by, co-illustrating matured into a steady work affiliation. Their works are based on analogue freehand drawings, though they try to use technological possibilities to their best advantage. They have had several exhibitions throughout Hungary and have made more than six hundred book covers since the middle of the 80's. They are recognized as the founder of contemporary sci-fi and fantasy art in Hungary.
