It might not be a right time of the year but I wanted to show this video as think it might be an interesting to see how this all was created from a sphere in Zbrush – 3d Software and rendered in Keyshot on the end I have added some details in Zbrush.

Whole idea was to show the commercialised concept of Christmas which now has been pushed to the extreme and created this generation of multiple presents which has no thought behind it only to has many useless and very often expensive gifts.

This was a first step and first render. it worked out to be to basic and had to add more details and realism to this design

This was looking slightly better and time was running out before the deadline so I have decided to add some more details in Photoshop.

This was a final design to be displayed at Hive art Exhibition.

For Tattoo Artists in Blackpool, Call Inkden

If you’re looking to have a new tattoo or would like to try a new tattoo studio, we have some advice to help. Our artists have been providing tattoos in Blackpool for many years now. No matter your design ideas or what you have in mind, we will be happy to help. Call our studio today to book an appointment.

I have been invited to take part in Tofi tattoo Experiment where all invited artists designing the same idea in their own style.

It has been a massive challenge as Tofi showed me how to use Zbrush and helped me to make first steps in 3d designing world. 🙂

It was a massive honor to be part of this project and it tuck some planning and many sketches to decide what to do as well with many renders of the final design to make the design work with the forearm as this was the part of the challenge to design it to work with this body part. 🙂

You can see the creative process in ling bellow

Biomechanical scrap sculptures

In search of inspiration and reference for my tattoo designs, I have created a series of sculpture projects that represent body parts, everyday items and half body figures (in collaboration with Jordan Oterski). The idea is to show how technology influences our daily lives, with metal, steel machinery and electronics hidden behind nice packaging and working in the background. We tend to not think much about how things work or how helpful they are, or even how dependent we are on them.

A Year later I created the vision of Mother Earth being overtaken by the cold metallic form of human technological progress and expansion.  

The work was influenced by the creations of HR Giger and a post catastrophic vision of our daily life. In research for ideas and inspiration, I aimed to change the simple look of our normal daily life devices that are now packed with sophisticated technology. I started experimenting with mixed mediums. With some mechanical parts, a little expandable foam, DIY tricks and an airbrush, I came out with my first piece to be featured in the Gundry National Gallery at a local artists exhibition.

My next project was the Tattoo Art Exhibition.

This project gave me a chance to prepare and showcase some of my twisted visions of things that are such an everyday part of peoples lives.

Some of the pieces were showcased in other exhibitions, such as

Hive Arts Magic Weekend, which featured on BBC radio. Check out the video:

Once again, some were used as references for tattoo designs.

My next project was a collaboration with Jordan Oterski. 😊 https://www.instagram.com/p/BN6IrkXAkg4/

This piece was used as a reference for a tattoo design that Jordan tattooed on me. 😊

Eventually this sculpture was auctioned at Tatcon Tattoo Convention in Blackpool in the Charity Art Auction alongside pieces of art from other artists at the show.

The profits were donated to Blackpool Lifeboat Station

The next exhibition featured my collaboration with Anna Paprzycka, a documentarist and filmmaker. This was shown at Grundy National Gallery in Blackpool at a local artists exhibition. 😊

I created my vision of a futuristic TV breaking out from behind prison bars to visualise the story from Annas short Documentary about an ex convict who changed his life around and created a TV show to educate people about scam awareness. The show become very popular in Poland. 

The next exhibition at Hive was ‘Unlocked’ Expressions of Solitude, which featured artwork created by local artists during the 1st Lockdown.  

 Through the lockdown I started a new adventure with 3D printing and began learning to use Zbrush 3D design software to combine my skills to create the next level of tattoo #Reference.
