After seven years my website, Vhrsti.cz, has a new coat – but it is still sky blue. The original design, for which Tomáš Hibi Matějíček and I were awarded the title The Best Czech Comic Website, served us well and reliably, but time goes on, and progress has its needs. I asked Eva Necasova and Martin Mateju. And you can see the result – it is moving, and is all the more interactive and vivid. Thanks to this, I hope you will come back often and with pleasure for interesting information, news, and of course for happy pictures!

Po sedmi letech oblékly moje stránky Vhrsti.cz nový – i když znovu azurový – kabát. Ač původní design, za který jsme s Tomášem Hibim Matějíčkem získali titul Nejlepší český komiksový web, sloužil dlouhá léta dobře a spolehlivě, doba pokročila a žádá si své. Poprosil jsem proto o pomoc Evu Nečasovou a Martina Matějů. Výsledek vidíte sami – hýbe se to a je to celé takové interaktivnější a živější, abyste se sem často a rádi vraceli. Pro zajímavé informace, novinky a pochopitelně pro veselé obrázky!

I would like to recommend Vojta Jurík, alias VHRSTI. He worked as a graphic designer in my company, and that is why I know him well. Even though he is freelancer now, I still have the best experience with him – he is conscientious, hardworking, has super ideas, he really thinks about his work, and the most important thing is that he is dependable. And I really appreciate it. I would like to mention that his pictures are optimistic and full of humour, and that is why everybody likes to look at them :-) Thanks to these aspects, he is successful in his work, and I believe that more successes are still ahead of him. I’m keeping my fingers crossed!

I met Vhrsti thanks to preparation of new edition of Borik stories by Vojtěch Steklač when I worked as an editor in chief in one publishing house. It was great co-operation – with professionals, co-operation is always great! We held a discussion together in Liberec, and I could really recommend him as well as a panellist – the children enjoyed his stories, and so did I! I read his texts as well,and they are full of original humour and an excellent overview. I have a feeling that he is good at everything he tries!

There is no other way than to recommend Vhrsti. Our Social Services Department of the City of Pilsen has the best experience with this author – as well as in case of colour books, megapuzzles, and memory cards. His smiling, dancing characters are forever the mascots of our annual culture marathon “Seniors making fun for seniors”, and regular dance evenings for those who were born earlier. His original angels flew from his atelier on the invitation cards, posters, and memory list on the occasion of the ceremony for volunteers in social care “ANGEL 2010”. His style is unmistakable – nice, unpandering, optimistic, and playful. Children are enthusiastic about his pictures, older generations are amused too. Co-operation with Vhrsti is great: he reacts flexibly, respects the requirements and needs of his clients, including extra changes and corrections, he offers variable solutions. All of it makes for goodwill, and Vhrsti is definitely a first-rate brand on the market :-)

The name Vhrsti is as original as the pictures created by Vojta Jurík. It was an honour for me to co-operate with him. His pictures are part of my book “The Cookbook of Pilsen Ghosts” where he helps to create a “spooky” atmosphere. I write “spooky” in speech marks because his ghosts are pleasant, gentle, clean, cultivated, and you would like to chat with them. They are just the kind that children love. And because “The Cookbook of Pilsen Ghosts” is a children’s book, Vhrsti pictures are an excellent complement. Co-operation with Vojta (Vhrsti) was great. It’s not often that you can meet such  understanding, helpfulness, and willingness in combination with a young and capable artist who hasn’t let fame go to his head.
