Mr. Telescope continuation

-
Mr. Telescope is the title of a children's book that I have started a year ago, as a summer project.
You can read a bit about the start of it right here.

Unfortunately due to my university work and a higher stress pressure that I felt during the final year of my course, I wasn't willing to go back to this project.

Well, I went back to this idea and I am in the process of completing the initial spreads.
The next phase will be to have these reviewed and accepted.

Mr. Telescope is a story about a man with one telescopic eye. He lives in Warsaw, Poland.
The story follows his journey through the city, while he searches for his cat, Filka.

Here are some sneak peaks into the illustrations.

Fiction and Reality

Intro: Okay, I believe that his post is way long overdue. As an apology I will publish three posts that I should have written during the past month. FICTION AND REALITY The first brief of my second year Illustration course was focusing on collaboration. Working with second year graphic design students, we were divided into groups of three and four. My group, called the ''Badman Crew'' (not my idea, I just went along with it), consisted of me, J and R. R was the graphics guy in our group. The topic of the project was Fiction and Reality. The aim was to make something that would border on the thin line between being fiction and reality. It was to engage and provide a deeper meaning, interest and create a sense of mystery and suspension.  The ''Badman Crew'' decided to work on the sense of fiction that the media sells us and the reality of what the media shows the public through their rosy colored glasses.  We went through a view complicated br

Current Project

I am currently working on a children's book developed from an old Polish folk legend about a Golden Duck.  The short story follows a young poor shoemaker into finding a Golden Duck, who can make anyone rich, under certain condition, that they follow their rules.  In the end the legend talks about money not being the only important thing in the world, and that it won't bring anyone happiness unless you have someone to share it with.  The process of the book is still going, as although I have started in January, I went through a phase where I didn't enjoy my working method and decided to change it into a more mixed media of collage, watercolours and digital manipulation. I faced a brick wall when during a tutorial with my tutors I have been told that I need to change my font, because it just didn't fit the work.  So during the last week I had to create my own font and try to see how this one works with my work. The work is going quite slow

Working on Parkinson's Disease

Couple of weeks ago, we were asked to choose one of two projects: -a mural in a care home for residents suffering from dementia; -a set of tools or a tool for children to inform them about Parkinson's Disease. We could choose either and choose whether we want to work individually or in pairs. I have decided to join my friend S., who has a similar style of work and way of working, to me. We have chosen the Parkinson's Disease and the creation of a tool for children. What is Parkinson's Disease?  Parkinson's disease is caused by a loss of nerve cells in part of the brain. This leads to a reduction in a chemical, called dopamine, in the brain.   Dopamine plays a vital role in regulating the movement of the body. A reduction in dopamine is responsible for many of the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.   Exactly what causes the loss of nerve cells is unclear. Most experts think that a combination of genetic and environmental factors is responsible. Who i
