This is what the second life on Morfolaki series will look like. The revival, under the Daymare brand will be aptly named Daymare Morphs, and will start in January 2016.

This week I went straight back into the insanity of continuous 24 hour comics drawing.

I’ve tried that two years ago and succeeded [check it our here], so for me that particular thing on my bucket list was already crossed out, didn’t want to do that all over again. This time the plan was a bit different. Creating a random, 24-page comic mini-album that’s revolving around a given subject is not my thing actually. Instead I made another plan for myself. 24-hours of non-stop drawing, that’s still on, but I took my own material – namely pages from my upcoming Rewolucje album.

But the thing is – those pages had to be triple A, album-quality work, not something created quickly and under pressure. So the plan was – 5 pages. Around four hours per page with some spare time for resting and talking to other artists – last time I was so focused on the task at hand that the whole social aspect of the experience went completely over my head. This time I wanted it to be more of a creative meeting. I already had the story and sketches done, it was just the matter of creating the final sketch on paper and painting. To my surprize the venue was small and a lot of people showed up, around 50 – some of them came to town especially for this event. Those were real troopers. Anyway, due to overcrowding the workplace was a bit small. I spent first four hours preparing final sketches and then busted out the big guns:

This picture was taken around 3 AM, and that’s actually when I was already finishing all 5 pages On this photo there’s the final, fifth page visible. Still lots of work was done on it after the photo though. So plan A took 15 hours to complete (12 PM – 3 AM). After that I went back to sketching. At this point I felt that it’s a good moment to stop painting and just go back to simpler tasks. I started sketching more pages from the album and also designed few characters. I was doing that until I ran out of paper – and that happened around 6 AM. So at this point I literally had NOTHING to do, except for socializing. But there is a fine line between being social and outgoing towards other people and being annoyingly interrupting to people who are trying to run the marathon.

I split around 7 AM with the feeling of a job well done. When I woke up I did a quality check and it all holds up nicely. You be the jugde. Here, or after buying the album once it’s released.

Big thank you to all people taking part – see you guys next year.

42 Days is a short (4-page long) comics that I created for the special edition of our polish newspaper. It was printed yesterday (march 18th 2011,friday), and here it is in  it’s full completness. The scenario written by Karol Konwerski, but remember, this is a TRUE story. Translated to english for your convenience.

Enjoy!

I had to take few days off of the production of Submachine 6, because I was asked to create a small comic for the anthology honouring one of our (polish) best comic artists, Janusz Christa. The deadline for this project was in fact deadly – August 31st. Luckily I got a nice idea for this 3-page comic pretty soon and it went smoothly. It’s finished now, I’m back on track with Submachine, nothing to worry about. ;)
