“Let me just get this out of my system, I love 3D! Like I really love working in three dimensions, I love adding an extra dimension to my drawings, it feels more real to me in 3D, volume is the shit! “ “I love the techniques in 3D, and I love the fact that I can make it look and feel like I want it to with shaders, textures, lights etc, super fast compared to having to build it in real life. I love drawing too, I almost always start out in 2D, but I rarely consider my 2D work to be the “finished” piece. For some reason it doesn’t feel finished until I’ve taken it to the third dimension, which is weird, because I think I draw more inspiration from 2D work compared to 3D, but I guess that’s just because there aren’t that many people around the internet who use 3D in the way that I would love to see 3D used. “ frederikstorm.com

“I love when 3D isn’t shy to be 3D either, I love when I can see the polygons! I would love to see less orcs, babes and dragons in 3D though, and more quirky stuff. I should also mention that I really love space and dinosaurs, and I LOVE finding new inspiration, new people who I can follow on Vimeo, Tumblr, Twitter or whatever, it’s so awesome that the internet gives me such easy access to all these super insanely amazingly talented people and their work. “ “My love for 3D have brought me to some cool places and just recently I started a small animation studio with two friends (Monkey Tennis Animation Studio). And I can’t wait to express my love for 3D and animation in general with my two co-monkeys Mikkel Okholm and David Crisp.”

Wójcik
Martyna Wójcik -Śmierska born in 1985. Graphic Designer and Illustrator from Poland. “Art has been always present in my life. I graduated from the upper secondary school of fine arts, and then I started studying graphic design at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun. I graduated from these studies in 2010. The choice of my way of life has become obvious for me. Art! Nowadays I leave and work in Warsaw. I run my own business, I design covers, overprints, and posters, and I also cooperate with press magazines. I have been drawing for Anorak (UK), Computer ARTS (UK), Bulletin (UK), Le Particulier (FR), Errratum and for various magazines from Poland: Pani magazine, Wysokie Obcasy, Gazeta Wyborcza, Bloomberg Businessweek Poland.” “My works are evolving all the time, I am still looking for the perfect form of expression, I sketch, draw, take notes. Some of my illustrations show the tendency to a form geometrization. Moreover, I like playing with composition and perspective a lot, I deform it on purpose. I try to find the balance between the colour, texture (Textures and patterns are very important elements in my works. I believe that they vitalize my illustrations, complement them.)” EXHIBITIONS / AWARDS : COW International Design Festiwal - Illustration 2014 International Exhibition in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine. 23rd Warsaw International Poster Biennale, The exhibition “The Golden Debut”. 22nd Biennial of the Polish Poster in Katowiece - Exhibition in Katowice.
