KARL RUDZIAK ARTIST & ILLUSTRATOR
This website is based on the question asked, usually in a sarcastic manner "What is going on in that head of yours?"

As you can see lots of weird stuff. Sketches scribbled down in moments of inspiration, fustration, sometimes boredom. Mainly characters based on people that I come across in everyday life, which probably explains why a lot of it looks weird, because lets face it, people are weird. OK, OK, interesting and diverse...especially the ugly ones.

Every time I pick up a pencil it's journey in to the unknown. Sometimes, I have a bit of an idea but most of the time the journey the drawing takes out of my head, down my arm, through the pencil and on to the paper is a whimsical one developing as I draw. Or, they may start as spontaneous bursts of scribbling which, I guess, technically is known as doodling but still conscious of the act of drawing rather than sub-conscious mark making one does while on the phone or in a meeting. It would be trite to say they come without any agendas or pre-conceptions but there is an aspect of them that illustrates what lurks in the dark recesses of my id. Or, maybe one of those real life weirdos that I seem to notice has set up camp in my grey matter and decided to escape at that particular doodling moment. Who knows. But when, as in my day job, I take other peoples ideas and set them to paper and hear, "That's JUST how imagined it" I consider it a bloody miracle.
Well, it's something I seem to be quite good at and it's taken me a while to accept that. So enough of the tortured artist and get your work out there, which is another reason this website.
