About me

I am an illustrator and poster artist based in Lodz, Poland. I was educated at Strzeminski Academy of Fine Arts and Design. Dealing mostly with posters, portraits and editorial illustrations, I have been lucky enough to create award winning posters for numerous films and I have cooperated with such clients as Legendary Pictures, Apple, Canal +, Netflix, Orange, ING, "The New Yorker", "The Economist" "The New Republic", "The Hollywood Reporter", "Smithsonian", "Chicago Magazine", "Washington Post", "Politico" and “Newsweek”. My works have received three gold medals from Society of Illustrators New York and Los Angeles and have been selected and awarded by American Illustration, World Illustration Awards, Spectrum, 3x3, Graphis, European Design Awards, Lahti Poster Biennale and New York Festival Awards. They have also been published in Taschen’s “Illustration Now! Vol.4”, Bloomsbury’s “Illustration – A Theoretical & Contextual Perspective”, Flesk’s "Spectrum" 23, 25, 26 and 27, Huginn & Muninn's "Total Geek Art" and Lürzer's Archive – “200 Best Illustrators Worldwide 2011/2012". For the last four years I have been Adobe Design Achievement Awards mentor.
