Hi, My name is Alek. I also go by the nickname Lis Kula. I was born in Oakland, California but grew up mostly in Warsaw, Poland. I moved back to the Bay Area at the age of 18 where I graduated from the California College of Arts as an Illustration Major. And now I'm back in Poland again. I have worked in many fields of art from design to post-production but illustration has always been my primary focus. Cartoons from my childhood's such as "Rocko's Modern Life" or "Aaahh!!! Real Monsters" have formed me as a person and will always remain my main source of inspiration... I like comic books and music and enjoy reading comic books while listening to music. I wonder if anybody actually reads artist's bios to the end. If your'e still reading this, then much love to you, thanks for reading this- I really appreciate it! Hope you'll have a great day today. Unless you already are, then good for you!
