Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton

It's hard to not notice that Hillary has been copying Sanders since she realised how powerful some of his statements are. Here is my comment on that.

Sketches & Krita Tutorial

Sketches and Krita Tutorial Every now and then I talk to someone over Skype and while we have a conversation I draw. I love those "sessions" because I can both relax while exchanging ideas and thoughts and I can mindlessly doodle. Here is the latest one.

Krita Interview & Videos


A while ago I was interviewed by Krita Team about my illustrations to Terry Pratchett's Discworld series (here is the English version and French translation)

Krita is a free open-source program that you can download from here. I have been working with it for a while now and I love it. In fact I created my Terry Pratchett covers in it. Krita can be moody sometimes as it's being developed all the time but it is a great painting tool.

Here are two of my videos on painting in Krita. One was a part of the interview and one is a tutorial on using  Krita.

 



Polish caricatures

Polish Caricatures
A couple of my latest caricatures which aim at Polish politicians - mainly Jarosław Kaczyński. Situation in Poland is getting pretty interesting nowadays and unfortunately not in a good way. Democracy is seriously endangered. I decided to speak up through my caricatures.

Science of the Discworld and Dodger

Some of my first Terry Pratchett illustrations were actually the ones for the Science of the Discworld part 1, 2 ,3 and 4. I enjoyed them immensely as for the first time I had a chance to paint my favourite characters in such number! I was also asked to create a cover for Dodger, a novel by Terry Pratchett that takes place in old London.

Terry Pratchett covers



I am a huge Terry Pratchett fan. I have been for years. I remember reading his books in high school, laughing out loud, startling other people. I was super happy and proud when I was asked to do a series of book cover illustrations to his novels for German market. I started with the "Science of the Discworld" series, followed by the original Discworld series. Here they are:
