Serial Killer

Cover art for Polish band Made of Hate. One thing I love about my work is the fact that I almost never know where my clients are going to lead me. Subjects and concepts are as different as you can get! One day I'm making this oniric landscape and a psycho killer's lair the next.

The band's working concept was: "please make a cross between Dexter and Hostel".  I believe we achieved just that.

"Pathogen" take us inside the mind of a seriously disturbed man; a serial killer. He likes to suffocate and slowly torture his victims in a very elaborate ritual-like procedure. He's a loner with high IQ. He lives in a dark and isolated place of course... a place where he can work undisturbed in his "pieces"

I made it, and it still gives me the creeps! XD

Circle II Circle - "Concecuence of Power" Concept Paintings

A digital painting series entitled "Concecuence of Power". Produced for a concept album of american band Circe II Circe. A storyline by singer Zak Stevens (ex-Savatage).

The story is set in the desert terrain along the border space that separates the U.S. and Mexico... All the story action occurs across the towns, cities, and territory along the border of Mexico and three U.S. states; California, Arizona, and New Mexico. It's about a 20 year old boy who is recruited by a drug cartel to become a hitman. Eventually he and his parter/lover Jessica end up in the crossfire of a war between corrupted goverment officials and the cartels

I envisioned the whole series as a Michael Mann movie.
