Polish illustrator, screenwriter, author of comics and Knight of the Order of the White Eagle. His series Tytus, Romek i A’Tomek was first published in 1957 and quickly became one of the most popular comics in Poland.

PROCESS
Creating our posters is a process that requires precision, patience and many years of experience. Thanks to cooperation with the Prószyński i S-ka publishing house, we used the original illustrations from the first 25 volumes of Papcio Chmiel’s comic book. Out of thousands of great frames, we have selected only a dozen or so.
In order to digitize our heroes and transfer them from a small board to a large format, we manually redrawn every detail of the drawing with great accuracy. We composed the illustration on posters in a completely new, unconventional version.
