My friend Konrad Słowik took a photo of me, so i decided to make photomanipulation on it. I wanted to hold it in "paintings" mode... hope you'll like it. I think it's working well as cover for some comicbook, so I will prodably make some short story for this one in the future... Got an idea already.

Photo- Konrad słowik
Photomanipulation- Jacek Zabawa

Sound and Fury!

Heavy metal and the internet collide with disastrous results!

This short strip was written by Scottish brain-in-a-jar Craig Collins with art by me, and featured in issue #6 of Alan Grant's Wasted magazine back in November 2010. Needless to say it was a great honour to have my art published alongside true comics legends like Cam Kennedy and Simon Bisley!

Official Wasted website who was on Bad Press is down right now... not available online but you can read review of WASTED here- http://downthetubescomics.blogspot.com/2010/10/wasted-6-heading-for-stores-mind-your.html

ENJOY! :)

Illustration from project I was working on... Never happened- because of some STRAAAANGE/NASTY REASONS.
It's admonition for all artists prior for work for free and waste your time with irresponsible writers called themselves 'PROFESSIONALS' [few times in one sentence] ...and when you resign from unprofitable project you receive just accusations by whole hard work you did.
REMEMBER-BE CAREFUL!
Hope you'll enjoy this piece of art!
