About:
I'm a freelance multidisciplinary illustrator, graphic and motion designer based in Wroclaw (Poland) with over 10 years of experience in the field.
For the last four years I have been involved in the production of films and animated series, creating character models, backgrounds, props and layouts, compositing, making special effects and designing graphic elements. Iggy the Eagle is a commercial animated movie about to enter theaters, on which I worked from the beginning to the end of the production proces.
As an illustrator and motion designer, I created multimedia sets for plays, shows and concerts. I created for the Polish Theater, the Capitol Musical Theater and the Multimedia Fountain of Wroclaw.
I have also created credits for television programs, commercials, promotional videos for computer games, corporate films and much more.
I also designed ..., posters, business cards, flyers, banners, logos and book illustrations.
A book with my illustrations, 'Bardzo proste karty pracy' (Very Simple Work Cards's) book for autistic children, The Harmony Publishing House, is about to be used in schools.
For my work I mainly used Photoshop, Toon Boom, After Effects, 3d max, Illustrator. I am eager to learn and use new tools.
