let's stay home like it's 1981

here's a preview of a preview of Comic No. 1. glad I'm working on it again. there's still a lot to do, but at least it's growing.

then there's Comic No. 2, 20 pages in various stages of colouring. that one should be ready soon. ok, i'm moving countries for the second time in 2 months next week, so that might get in the way.

looks like i've drawn my way through the most depressing month. i swear, the sun came out ONCE throughout entire February. i guess that's what i get for moving to warsaw in winter. now i'm off to (slightly) warmer climates.

here are some more absent-minded fashion doodles drawn from the pictures in my tumblr feed. 

fun

just a quick warm-up sketch. i drew those bored partygoers from a photo i found on the internet.
one of my 2013 resolutions: learn to use photoshop better, i really am a slow learner when it comes to computers and trying out new things.

studio birthday

so, studio armad'illo just finished one year (happy birthday to us!!), and we celebrated with a party and a small show in the theme of ONE (or rather, our very free interpretations of the concept). I made this 21x29 watercolour called Un Intruso:

Before we popped the champagne corks and went on with the party (and what a party it was!), we also treated ourselves to a proper website; there's portfolios of the studio members, new works and all. all thanks to the mad skills of Nina Cuneo . It's at the usual address: http://www.studioarmadillo.it/  

there we go

so.. here is the long overdue update!
first of all, be sure to click through the superfun comic by my studio co-worker Lorenza, made to celebrate the first year of Studio Armad'illo (we're celebrating next week!). Inside, you will find many shocking facts from the lives of freelance illustrators, and a cameo or two from yours truly.
second of all, here are some owls, for no reason at all:

ekhm. moving on: there's two books i illustrated coming out this week (!), one in poland and one in italy. the first one is a children's book written by Paulina Wilk, and it follows the mellow adventures of a cute little bear called Kazimierz -

The italian book, Entra nell'arte del 900, is a fun little guide introducing the collection of Museo del Novecento in Milan to children. i'll be doing some live drawing for the book's conference on november 18th, yikes! here's a tiny preview, i'll post more images soon!

doodling

here are some distracted sketches of my studio co-workers; there's more on the studio blog.
a real post coming soon, promise!
