Summary

Welcome to my website where You can find some of my images, renderings and designs I've created during my CG graphic adventure.

I was born in Opole, Poland in 1978. During my years of commercial work I have been involved in many interesting projects and in a great scope of graphic activities, from graphic and industrial design to creating models, textures and scenes for animations, films and television. I worked with the famous Platige Image Studio on a few animated films and with the Planetarium of Copernicus Science Centre on the first Polish production in the fulldome technology - “Dream to fly”.

But my greatest passion is still military illustration – mainly aviation and naval art. Throughout my teenage years I spent as much time around aircraft as I could. However, when I read an article about James Dietz in a magazine and saw the aviation art of Polish artist – Jaroslaw Wrobel, I discovered the way to finally express my passion for aviation. Although starting with pencils and paints, I soon found the computer as an ideal tool to create the images that I had in my mind. Using advanced 3D software I painstakingly built my own 3D Lancaster model and then used it to create a series of striking images. I didn’t realise at the time that something that started as personal project would eventually almost take over my working life. My work was an instant hit with veterans and enthusiasts alike and during last few years I have created dozens of Lancaster images for familes and veterans themselves.
I create illustrations for books, magazines and collectors and my works are in many private collections in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and USA.

I live in Czestochowa, Poland with wife Agnieszka and two sons Mikolaj and Tymon.
