the other thing which kept me reaaaally busy throughout september was a comic project (or should i say graphic novel? haha). it was my first try at such a complex story (10 pages long! full colour! constant google search for historical images of warsaw!), and i think it turned out rather nice.
the pace, at times, was insane, but, well, i just learned to draw faster. the story was written by the great monika powalisz.

here's a tiny preview -  i'll post more once the book is out.

workshop with serge bloch

ok, so it's been a while! well, here i am again, after a well deserved summer rest and a busy busy september. one of september highlights was a magazine cover workshop with the ever-inspiring serge bloch. Four super-intense days with a-cover-a-day pace (sometimes more). I had a lot of fun.
First subject was a guide to free eats in Paris, and this is what I came up with:

Next up, a cover for a business magazine, something i've never tried my hand at before. i was real happy with the idea i had for it, too -

until, once the image was finished, i decided to check out Bloch's original cover...

umm, oooops!

website update!

I have updated www.zozozosia.com with a bunch of recent projects, including the story which kept me so busy throughout June - illustrations to Daniil Kharms' short story, Sonnet. Go have a look!

Phew! Now that was a busy two weeks! Taking a few days off, and then it's back to regularly scheduled blogging.   

I hope you're having a nice july!
