interview questions:
1. what do you enjoy most about being an artist?
FREEDOM IN CREATING MY OWN SICK WORLD AND SOME RECOGNIZED BY THE PEOPLE.
EVERY NEW IMAGE THAT I WAS DOING ITS DIFFERENT WAY FOR ME TO SHOW THAT ITS STRANGE TO BORN FOR DEAD.
AND ITS A MILLION WAYS FOR SHOWING IT. IT'S LIKE KILLING A HUMAN - IN EVERY TIME YOU MAY DO IT ON A DIFFERENT WAY HEHE LIKE IN "SAW" MOVIE : )
2. what do you think separates you from other artists?
HMM MAIN REASON IS THEME OF MY ART. ITS FEV REALLY GOOD ARTIST WHO DO IT. THE REST ONLY TRY TO COPY.
I DONT HAVE A NEED TO COPY WHATEVER BECAUSE IN MY SICK MIND I SEE MANY MILLIONS OF ICON FOR ANOTHER NEW GRAPHICS.
SOMETIMES NICE TO SEE THAT SOMEONE TRY TO DO SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY DONE BUT... ITS BETTER TO DO YOUR OWN STYLE THAT WILL BE RECOGNIZED BY THE PEOPLE.
eVERYONE IS DIFFERENT LIKE ART. eVERYONE WHO IS CREATING SOMETHING DONE IT ON HIS OWN WAY OF VIEW. aRTISTS EXIST NEAR EACH OTCHER AND I THINK THAT NOTHING MORE
SEPARATES ME FROM OTHER ARTISTS - WE ALL HAVE SOME COMMON THINGS -WE ALL CREATES VISIONS FLOWING FROM OUR MINDS. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT WILL BE PRETTY, UGLY, SAD, HAPPY ETC.
iF SOMEONE WILL LIKE IT - THATS ALRIGHT.
3. how would you describe your artwork?
CREATIVE/DARK/MACABRE/GORE/HORROR AND SURREAL ART.
THATS WHAT I WAS WRITTEN ABOVE. ITS HARD TO WRITE ONE MAIN PIECE OF STYLE AND ART. IT HAVE TOO MANY DIFFERENTS ITSELF.
4. do you remember the first piece of art you constructed?
HMM YES IT IS CALLED: "FATHER" AND YOU MAY SEE IT HERE: [link]
I REMEMBER THAT IT WAS DONE FROM 2 PHOTOS: SOME GUY AND A CAT BONE + SOME TEXTURES AND A LITTLE PAINT IN PS.
IT WAS FIRST OF MY DEATH FETUS OF ART THAT CAME FROM MY SKULL.
MAYBE I WILL TELL YOU SOMETHING MORE- WCHICH OF MY IMAGES I PERSONAL LIKE MOST? : )
HERE YOU MAY SEE IT: [link]
I ADORE THAT ONE. EVEN NOW WHEN I SEE THAT PIECE A LITTLE SMILE CAME ON MY FACE.
5. do you have any current projects you are working on now?
HMM SOME GRAPHIC FOR PAINTINGS ON THE WALL AND ONE CD COVER FOR SOME DEATH METAL BAND.
EVERYONE MAY BUY AN IMAGE FROM ME. MOSTLY I AM DOING AN INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS SO PEOPLE CAME TO ME AND ASK ABOUT GRAPHIC FOR THEM.
6. where do you get your inspiration from?
BOOKS, AND MUSIC, LYRICS. SOMETIMES FROM MOVIES.
7. are there any particular artists you follow?
FOLLOW IS KIND BIG WORD. HMM BUT I LIKE ART FROM Beksiński, Giger, Toshihiro Egawa. THIS LAST IS IN MY OPINION BEST GORE ARTIST THAT I KNOW. I LIKE TO SEE CD COVERS FROM DEATH METAL BAND CALLED CANNIBAL CORPSE HAHA
LONG TIME AGO WHEN I WAS YOUNG I SAW THEM AND I FALL IN LOVE WITH THAT KIND OF GORE/MACABRE CREATIONS. FOR ME IT WAS AN IMPULSE TO CREATE MY ROTTEN ART.
I WANT TO DO IT BETTER AND HARDER THAN NORMAL HORROR IMAGES. MORE HMM... REAL. AND I STILL WORKING ON IT. ITS LONG WAY TO DO IT RIGHT.
8.how long does it take you to complete a piece of art?
IT DEPEND. SOMETIMES FEV HOURS -LIKE 3-4 SOMETIMES 2 DAYS. IT DEPEND OF COMPLEXITY OF WORK AND STATE OF MY INTOXICATION HAHA
IF I MUST DO SOMETHING FAST I DO IT. BUT I LIKE TO HAVE TIME WHEN MY VICTIM ON A PHOTO TURN INTO SOME DEAD ROTTEN FLESH.
I FEEL THEN LIKE SOME MURDER OR MANIAC HAHA I TAKE LIFES AND MAKE PEOPLE SUFFER IN CAGE OF THEIR BODIES. TO SHOW BEAUTY OF DEATH AND DECAY.
9.what kind of people do you think tend to buy your artwork?MOSTLY SOME METAL/GOTH/FETISH/NECROPHILIC KIND OF PEOPLE HAHA
BUT SOMETIMES SOMEONE USUAL CAME AND SAY THAT HE/SHE LIKES SOME PIECE OF MY ART.
I KNOW WHAT I AM DOING AND I KNOW THAT NO EVERYONE HAVE SPECIFIC WAY OF LIKE SOME THINGS.
ONE OF THEM LIKES WHAT I DO THE OTHER NOT -THEN I SAY: "FUCK OFF AND DIE"!
10. what genres of art attract you the most?
MOSTLY GORE ART, SOME MACABRE AND HORROR. I LIKE SURREAL ART AS WELL. SURREAL SHOWS HOW EVERYTHING IS FLOATING IN FRAGILE EMPTINESS OF REALITY.
I LIKE TO SEE IN ONE IMAGE MORE OF THEM AT ONCE. ITS LIKE YOU WILL LOOKING ON 6 MIRRORS ON A DIFFERENT CORNER. YOU SEE ONE THEME BUT ON A DIFFERENT VIEWS ITS TOTALLY SOMETHING ELSE.
I PREFER MORE DARKER ART
11.what is a typical day for you like from sunrise to sunset?
GOOOOD QUESTION! IN LIFE I AM NORMAL PERSON -AS YOU OR EVERYONE ELSE. PERHAPS I LOOK LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM NORMAL PERSON HAHA -YOU KNOW I HAVE CUT MY LONG HAIR LIKE NERGAL FROM BEHEMOTH HAHA
I WEAR BLACK CLOTHES AND MIX STYLE BETWEEN METAL AND A LITTLE GOTH, HAVE PIERCING ON MY EARS, MOUTH AND NIPPLES AND HAVE TATTOO ON MY ALL BACK HAHA
WHEN I WAS YOUNGER EVERY NIGHT I GOES TO A GRAVEYARD IN MY VILLAGE AND DRINK SOME ALCOHOL THERE HAHA BUT NOW WHEN I MUST WORK TO HAVE SOME MONEY IT LOOKS LIKE THIS:
I WAKE UP AT 5 O'CLOCK AND GO TO WORK. ITS NORMAL WORK IN FACTORY (BECAUSE I DON'T WORK AS A GRAPHIC DESIGNER). I CAME FROM WORK, EAT SOMETHING. SEE MY EMAIL,
LOOKING SOME SICK STUFF IN INTERNET (MOST ITS SOME GORE,FETISH,SUICIDE THEMES). I GO OUT WITH MY EWELINA AND HAVE A GOOD TIME WITH HER. SHE IS MY MUSE.
AND EVERYTIME THAT I DO SOME ART SHE IS FIRST PERSON WHO SEE IT AND FROM HER DEPEND IF GRAPHIC THAT I DONE GOES IN INTERNET : ) GOD I LOVE THAT WOMEN HAHA.
SOMETIMES WE WATCH SOME MOVIES OR LISTEN TO MUSIC.AND IN NIGHT MAGIC HAPPENS HAHA.. AS YOU CAN SEE -NORMAL LIFE.
12. what kind of styles and methods do you demonstrate in your artwork?
ITS MAGIC ; ) I MIX DIGITAL AND TRADITIONAL ART. SOMETIMES I DO LINE ART AND LATER I SCAN IT AND PAINT IN PS.
ANOTHER TIME I DO PHOTO MANIP AND DIGITAL PAINTING -IT DEPENDS WHAT KIND OF STYLE IN MY WORK I WANT TO HAVE. I EVOLVE ALL THE TIME.
13. how would you describe your perspective on life?
HMM I TELL YOU THAT IN POLAND I DON'T SEE ANY PERSPECTIVES. I DREAM TO HAVE A MOTORCYCLE -HONDA SHADOW OR HONDA CBR : )
NOW FROM TIME TO TIME I GO TO INKCARNATION TATTOO AND WORK THERE AS A GRAPHIC DESIGNER. MOSTLY I AM A FREELANCER AND I AM DOING INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS.
I AM LIVING BY DAY AND I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT MY FUTURE. POLAND IS NOT GOOD PALACE FOR ARTISTS -ESPECIALLY ARTISTS LIKE ME : )
i THINK THAT IF I DON'T HAVE AN INTERNET NOONE EVEN WILL SAW MY WORKS. (AND DO AN INTERVIEW WITH ME HEHE).
THANK GOD FOR INTERNET!
14. and finally, if your house was on fire and you had five minutes to grab 3 things, what would they be?
1. EWELINA
2. ALCOHOL
3. HER NYLON, STOCKINGS, PANTYHOSE AND STRINGS HAHA
