I'm glad to tell you, you can find my name on the rankig of promising young polish artist "Kompas Młodej Sztuki"! http://kompasmlodejsztuki.pl/ranking/2012/order/position_2012
The ranking takes place every 2 years and that's its third edition. I took the 18th, the 19th and this year the 15th place. It's really great if others notice and find your work important!
There is also an exhibision following: 4 XII 2012 - 4 I 2013, Galeria (-1), Centrum Olimpijskie im. Jana Pawła II, Warszawa.
I was lately supposed to make some realistic illustrations for my employer (zielgruppenverlag). It was't that easy. I was really relived when I had done the monkeys, but then I've started with the bees and it was even worse! I thought, I'd call myself a master if I'll ever finish drawing them. And - surprising - I did today! :) but there are some others animals still waiting for me...
You can translate the polish saying 'raz kozie śmierć' as 'take a deep breath and go' or 'sink or swim'. In Poland we express it saying 'the goat dies only once'.
The english version of the german saying 'wo sich Fuchs und Hase gute Nacht sagen' is 'where the hen and fox say good night'. In german instead of hen there is a rabbit ;)
I'd like to thank once again all, who came to see my works and who have supported me! Many thanks to mrs Maria Dziedziniewicz, who's organised the exibition and did a really great job! It was a wonderful evening!
