Early work

In earlier years, Sejic worked as a night guard at a public beach, as well as selling fruit on the marketplace afterwards. He realized that it didn't quite cut it for him so he gave up and started to think about drawing comics. Through years, he was mainly inspired by Italian comic book titles before he stumbled upon a copy of Witchblade. He fell in love with it because of the characters and the remarkable artistic style which highly influenced on his work today.His work is mostly influenced by Marc Silvestri and Michael Turner, regarding it.

Stjepan started his career as a colorist, painting covers drawn by Tyler Kirkham, who emailed him back when Sejic started sending his work around the artist community. [ [http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=89866 "Newsarama.com - An interview with Stjepan Sejic."] ]
