 found this sketch while cleaning my hard drive; i think it's from two years ago, when i was doing research of 1920s fashions for Złote Pszczoły. i can hardly believe it's been two years already!

here are some sketches from that dead time when photoshop crashes yet again and  you wait for it to resume working, coloured pencil in hand and your mind somewhere else. yes, the little bear is inviting you to 'shake it'.

website update

aaaaand i've finally put up some of this year's projects on the good old website. 

(the image below is the back cover for the young readers' mystery novel Messaggi da lontano, 

published by the Italian publisher Rizzoli back in March. More images here).

                  I really ought to give the whole website an overhaul... It'll have to do for now, though! 
   I have one more large project to finish, and then it's back to keeping tabs on web presence and the like ;)

My  book on Mark Rothko is out! It's a children's guide made to accompany the first Polish Rothko exhibition, at the National Museum in Warsaw, which opened in June.

Needless to say, I loved working on every last bit of it. A dream commission! The guide's thoughtful and engaging text is by Agnieszka Tarasiuk. The whole thing was put together by the lovely folks at Full Metal Jacket.

There are more pictures from the book on my Behance profile. One of those days I'll get to updating my main website, too.
