Enfants Terribles

Happy to announce my debut as a cover artist in Canada. I was commissioned by Toronto writer Diane Bracuk to do the illustration for her book Middle-Aged Boys & Girls – a collection of short stories about adults permanently stuck in adolescence. (The characters on the cover are loosely based on the Dick and Jane characters from the popular North American children's readers of the '50s and '60s.) 

The book will be published by Guernica Editions in March 2016. It can be ordered directly from the website.

Lunch Box Book

My new book Piramida w kuchni na wynos will soon hit the shelves in bookstores in Poland. Lunch box reciepes and beautiful photos made by my friend Joanna Gorzelińska. I made the design and all the illustrations. More info soon!

About a Boy

In May 2014 I got to design a children's book. Now I'm not a football fan, but it sure was fun to do this biography of Lionel Messi as it is addressed to kids and preteen readers. The book has 190 pages and is written by Yvette Żółtowska-Darska with illustrations by Joanna Rusinek. It was published by Egmont and became (and still is) a top 10 bestseller in the children's book category.

Warsaw Debris

I am now designing the follow up to Grzegorz Kosson's book Warstwy (Layers). The title of the new book is Gruzy (Debris) and in a handfull of essays it tells the story of how Warsaw was destroyed and later rebuilt during and after the II World War. And just like in Warstwy I wanted to show seemingly random images on the cover, inspired by the book itself. Some of them are easily recognizable (if you are familiar with Warsaw's history) while others are more poetic and hard to decipher. This is a work in progress.

Peeling of the Layers

Warstwy (eng. Layers) is the litterary debut of Grzegorz Kosson. I designed the cover and the black and white illustrations. The result is a beautiful hardcover book with dust jackets. This is a very personal story about Warsaw, as seen through the eyes of the author – full of intricate metaphors and poetic layers. Grzegorz is now working on a follow–up called Gruzy (eng. Debris) set for spring 2014. More info here.

Blue Book

It's a comic! It's a graphic novel! It's a book! But mostly, it's my debut as a comic artist. What started a few years ago as a blog called 366 frames has now been published by W.A.B. as a beautiful book called 566 kadrów (566 frames). I wrote the story, made all the illo's and designed the cover. So it felt like Christmas to unpack the box – still hot – delivered straight from my publisher. Have a look inside yourself. I can't wait to start my next comic project now. More on that soon.
