May girl in print

Windmill in print

Windmill

Still in my pyjamas - I am working on a new illustration for Zwierciadlo magazine! Meanwhile I post my latest work published there last month - a copy of the magazine is on its way to me by post so fairly soon I will be able to show you how it came out in print!

May girl in a slightly naughtier version

May Girl actually had a different version originally, which I have toned down a bit - I gave up on the idea of a bull-piercing. I decided not to present her with a fringe either as she might have looked too much like a Highland Coo!

I just would like to announce that I have finally graduated after two years of MFA in the Edinburgh College of Art so now I will have some time to sit down and do some new promotional work!

Monsieur Chopin - the poster

When visiting Lennoxlove castle I saw a piano on which Chopin used to play during his visit in Scotland. This trip actually turned out to be a straw that broke the camel's (or rather composer's) back - he could not stand the climate and...Scottish ladies who were trying to convert him to the Church of Scotland!

And this is how the poster is going to look like (as usual, please click to see it bigger!)

Monsieur Chopin

One of the recent books that I have read is Chopin Prince of the Romantics by Adam Zamoyski so I was more than thrilled with a commision of designing (and illustrating) a poster for a dance performance by The Lublin Ballet Trust young dancers. They will be performing to Chopin's pieces but some of the dances will be definitely with a very modern twist. Funny how I have always considered Chopin to be a boring and too sweet but now when I actually do not have to play piano anymore, I find him to be very intelligent and powerful:
