Converse Star Playa for Vice Magazine Poland
I got to illustrate a spread for the Polish Vice promoting the Converse Star Player shoe (Every issue introduces a different shoe shown in the eyes of a different artist). The job was pretty open so I got to have a little fun with it and do things how I want to. The shoe is [...]

Solar/ Białas Album Release
hello! I present to you the cover for “Z ostatniej ławki”, the new album by the Polish rap duo Solar/Białas. The title “Z ostatniej ławki” literally means “from the last desk” and the last desk in the classroom is a metaphor for how the group sees themselves in the hip-hop scene. I themed the cover [...]
Kanye West Lajkonik
And so in less than a week from today, Kanye West is performing live in Cracow, Poland. A show that I’m planning to attend, since I’m a pretty big fan of Kanye. Not a die-hard-stan-psycho-fan but I get down with his music enough to make a poster promo hehehe. So here it is. Kanye West [...]

Unka’s Paradise
Ok, this is the last (at least for now, maybe I’ll contunue doing these someday) piece for the What is your Paradise project and it is also my favorite one. For those who don’t know I asked a bunch of people on Facebook to describe their paradises and illustrated my favorite descriptions. Here is Unka’s: [...]
Philantropists for Aktivist magazine, Poland
This is a quick piece I made for the may issue of Aktivist, a Polish life-style magazine. The article was about Philantropists joining forces to help people in need. As simple as that! If you live in Poland be sure to get a copy, if you don’t, be sure to fly there and pick one [...]
