Monsie
Originally from Poland, my yearning for adventure and the unknown took me to live and work in Spain, Japan, SE Asia (mainly Vietnam), France, the US and now Scotland. It was in Tokyo where I earned my professional moniker and personal nickname – Monsie.
I love working with bold colors, playful lines, and strong shapes to create characters from sometimes more sometimes less imaginary worlds.
