Human Shell
This year I hope to finally find some time for personal projects and finish a set of illustrations named "Human Shell" I started a while ago. The idea behind the project is to loosely play around with some eastern sacral art concepts in the context of fictional book covers for titles I enjoyed in last couple of years.

Old Personal Branding
Saying goodbye to my old logotype that served me well for last 6 years but needed to make place for something new, more aligned with the area of my focus as a designer.

Why good people are divided by politics and religion
I rarely take an opportunity to get political publicly but I have to make an exception for Jonathan Haidt and plug his "Righteous Mind". Probably the most important book I read in last couple of years and a sobering view on partisanship, political correctness, capitalism, religion, and how our old animal brains function in the modern ideological landscape. All that from the context of the research in moral psychology. Trully brilliant.

Gibson Les Paul
I just treated myself with this beautiful 2016 Gibson Les Paul as my second guitar. I'm psyched as hell to finally own a well crafted instrument, and even more so, because its one from such an iconic and legendary lineage and heritage. I'm planning to upgrade it later with Seymour Duncan Trembucker pickups to get that perfect Adam Jones / Tool sound that I so desperately strive for.

Etsy.com
I'm absolutely in love with Etsy.com. From many rare items I had found and ordered there, this has to be my favorite. An incredibly gorgeous, 4 feet tall, bronzed Buddha statue made in Thailand that now peacefully stands beside my desk. If you're looking for unique, beautiful and inexpensive items to decorate your living room or office with, Etsy is definitely a way to go about it.

Old Przekrój Cover
I moved away from being an illustrator in last couple of years but I stumbled upon my old set of illustrations and front cover I had a privilege to make for a popular Przekrój Magazine in 2010. I used to play around in my works with different religious ideas and it seemed to worked for the issue of Przekrój dedicated to the subject of faith and how different religious thoughts merge and intertwine with Polish identity. Good times!

Got myself a new view at my office
I got myself this lovely view at my new home office in the center of Warsaw. I hunted this location with all ferociousness it required, as it enables me to have a place in the center of the capital, and at the same time, gives a good enough illusion of living close to nature, as it's possible in the city.
