The Sofianer is a collaborative art project that invites artists from Bulgaria and the world to create a collection of covers of the imaginary magazine The Sofianer as a tribute to the cult covers of The New Yorker magazine.

The inspiration for my cover draws from my teenage years when I had to commute to school for nearly an hour. The public transportation was like a boxing match for the grumpy and tired, with some people acting absurd as early as 7 in the morning. In retrospect, I find the experience both amusing and charming.
