Description: This T-shirt design was made out of pencil conceptual drawing (by Katarzyna Kmiecik) of a modern house with an amazing Porsche 911 at front. Concept of this building constitutes a sum of current trends in architecture - minimalism of form, huge overhangs and chosen finishing materials. This 'dream home' consists of three visible parts finished with plaster, wood and architectural concrete. It has a lot of glazing that opens to the surrounding landscape. House is situated in a terraced garden full of seemingly unkept greenery and rocks. Pine forest in the background highlights the body of the building and diversifies the composition. Eye-catching Porsche in the foreground makes the whole picture look more complete. Perspectiv...
Description: This design was made from a pencil drawing is a very realistic and atmospheric vision of the future world (by Katarzyna Kmiecik). The idea was that our civilization had to leave Earth as it was polluted and destroyed beyond repair, and the last living people had to build a life for themselves from scratch on another planet (that's why there are three moons), in different galaxy. Architecture is situated in a barren landscape made of bathed rock. The building itself comes of as foreign and alien, with its smooth texture and strange shapes. Moon and lights makes the whole picture look mysterious and moody.
Description: Design made from a mixed media illustration (black pen + black watercolor + white colored pencil) of cyborg, made in 2011 by Katarzyna Kmiecik. This black and white image shows an android woman that humankind had forgotten about somewhere in deep future. I think there's not a single human alive and she is lonely, sad and angry at the same time. Nobody has been here for a long time but her, alone. Not only her face, but the whole picture with its excellent lightning lets the viewer feel the sad and desolate mood. Android stays in the center of attention and somehow "speaks" to a viewer, even though the surroundings are very complex and detailed with all the construction elements such as girders, steel profiles, trapezoidal meta...
Description: Design made from a watercolor painting of 'Ruins in the forest' by Katarzyna Kmiecik. It's a very unique and atmospheric landscape created with a very limited color palette. The idea was to use only shades of green (mostly olive green) and violet for this painting. I also decided to put first layer of paint completely independently, before the sketch was even made, to make it look more loose and natural. Romantic ruins are in the centre of attention, but they don't overshadow the trees, which look very magical in all those greens and violets. I have almost no time to paint or draw this year, so it took me several months to complete this watercolor. It was a real chellange to make it fell like a whole, even though it was p...
