Salsa

One of my favourite book series is Salsa - series of Hispanic books including famous titles like One hundred years of Solitude by Gabriel Gracia Marquez. What I really like about those book is their covers with very simple graphic and bold colors. Something perfect for spring train traveling.

Wro

My last week was all about drinking coffee, meting old friends and hanging around the city.

Tomasz Broda and books about Wroclaw

Tomasz Broda is well know to all people from Wroclaw for his playful style and recreating the most famous spots in the city with the everyday objects. He made two books about Wroclaw first published couple of years ago 'Create your Wrocaw', book with a bit of history and famous people and places. Second one is Secrets of The Four Temples District published by Via Nova. This book is a collection of a short stories and information about this very special district in the city.

Pick me up 2011

Pick me up is event which I was awaiting for. Last year it was first edition of this contemporary graphic and illustration event which many great prints were sold. This year is a second edition and it already brought crowds to Sumerset House in London. I love the fact that some of the artists have they own little spaces where you could see how they work, this year Evening Tweed, Puck, Nous Vous, Jaguar Shoes and Print Club London has they little spaces. Also It's nice that invited different artists for drawing, all drawings made during the event are put on sales. Also artists worth to mention are Seiko Kato and her amazing collages, Jules Julien, Zara Wood aka Woody with amazing gold, silver prints, Otecki printmaker from my hometown, Annelie Carlstrom with pencil drawings and collages from Revenge is Sweet.

Good news!

Finally the Work/Life 2 The Uppercase directory of international illustration is done. If you are in Canada the launch of book is on the 7th of April in Calgary. The book will be also available as an ipad application. And the best news is that my work is in :)

The second good news is that my illustration is in the new issue of Grae Magazine

Palaces

Selab and Alessandro Zambelli design for Sleletti amazing dinning set where each set of plates and dishes is a ceramic replica of italian palace. They look grate as a ceramic building standing next to each other and as a setting for a dinner. Those place definitely can't be hide in the cupboard.

Something old, something new

I found those ceramic figures on Pan tu nie stal they are replicas of designs made by polish artists in end of 50s. They are really beautiful I would like to see more of designs like this.

Spring is coming
