Warsaw Fashion Weekend - II place in competition

I am proud to announce I have been honoured with II place in Fashion Illustration competition for Warsaw Fashion Weekend. In jury was Anna Halarewicz, one of the most prestigous illustrators in Poland.

Here are the illustration and photos from the event. I call it a great Friday the 13th :)

Quickies.

Recently I have been practicing quick drawings with traditional media and inks. Here are some of them.

V Day.

Pills full of love.

Some uni work.

Some artwork I have done within the last month on my uni.

Exploring

I am always open to explore various styles - I like digital drawing, but it feels good to play around with traditional techniques. Now I have an appetite for ink and paints. And going beyond safety areas.




LCF is such an inspirational place - especially its library.

Kitsune for Ligature Magazine

My first editorial illustrations for 2012 - Kitsune. :) I wanted to give them a colorful, electro look with an Asian spirit!



and another one!

Blue lipstick for 2012

Is this going to be the hottest trend in make-up for 2012?
It is definitely adventurous and stands out :) Looking forward to seeing some brave girls on Oxford street (maybe I will even join them at some point ;)

Fendi S/S 2012

An illustration of a model from Fendi catwalk from Spring/Summer collection for 2012. I loved the geometrical shapes of the clothing, especially the white collar. I also found the patterns of the shirt and skirt really interesting, which gave it a bit retro look. The whole outfit is a great mix of elegance and eclectic feeling - I love it!

Looking forward to seeing simmilar designs in 2012 in cheaper stores ;) Happy new year 2012 - let it be fashionable, artistic and chic!

I need to cuddle.

Finally I had time to finish an illustration I started working on back in October. Christmas is a good time to relax and then my mind and creativity work smoothly and no pressure is involved...

Tell me my future

Working on that huge project for Covent Garden book - just edited one of the illustrations for the layout for Astrology shop.

Playing Gruau and classic

Some recent illustrations for various class projects. I have been recently exploring many vintage techniques, inspired by old fashion illustration books.
I think ink (rhyme!) works well with my style - but then again I don't want to give up my pencil draiwngs. I was recommended by my tutor illustrator Sue Dray to explore many techniques and try to mix them - since as she claimed I am naturally very talented and I can go for various styles. :)

Fashion illustration doodles.

Sketches/works from my wonderful class - Fashion Illustration at LCF. Many more to come soon :)

Yaaks for Spindle Mag

I have been busy with music lately a lot... but finally one of my dreams came true - I recorded my demo! :) Now further polish ups are being made and I'll be ready for next big moves. The final effect is going to be AMAZING.

In a meanwhile I did my first international commission for Spindle Magazine (London fashion mag) of YAAKS band. What a lovely mix of music and illustration - what I love most in life!





Check out their music, it's good!

Story singing.

I know I haven't been very active on my blog lately, but it's all because of my other passion - music. I have been busy with my upcoming demo (which I will start recording next week), personal concerts and taking part in a music tv show "Voice of Poland". Here's my very musical piece of artwork - a delicate self-portrait on my music poster (the basis - it lacks the info about date etc). If you're interested in my musical soul - check out my myspace. The songs there are just a preview, but gives the right expectation of what my demo will be like. At the beginning of September everything should be available and polished to hear :)

Bowie is so 80s

Another project for Tworczywo - store with stickers/graphics on walls, ceramics etc.

MM

Marylin Monroe for Tworczywo.pl - illustrations available to purchase as stickers on walls, ceramics etc.

Soul Magazine no 8 - my cover

The summer cover for issue 8 of lifetyle magazine Soul Magazine. A special issue, because with this one Soul Magazine started to be distributed in other cities - not only in Warsaw. :)

I always win.

Another illustration for print/design store "Twórczywo". More details and available to purchase soon :)
