Thomas Paine for Free Society magazine for the article about how his ideas are still valid nowadays. The piece is based on 18th century etchings and paintings as there is no photographic reference of Thomas Paine. This gave me lots of freedom to prepare a more modern version of the philosopher.

My tiny Plus illo created for Festiwal Polskich Filmów Fabularnych. I created lots of sketches for this one and the final image depicts one of the iconic modernist buildings in Gdynia. It was designed by Roman Piotrowski in 1935 as the headquarters of the Social Insurance Institution.

Sometimes the reference photos I get from the clients are super tiny so drawing the portraits can be a bit of a challenge but... I always do my best to get the liking right. Here’s a new set of portraits for In Memoriam section of the University of Massachusetts magazine.

Jaws was released 50 years ago today! Here's the screenprint I created 10 years ago. The hand drawn illustration was made out of 202 solid lines and the process was extremely time-consuming. I redrew the poster three times, each time drawing more lines and making them more and more fluid...
