Welcome! I'm a Bristol-based illustrator and graphic novel artist. I create thoughtful science fiction about machines and the people living alongside them — usually crafted by hand in pencil, watercolour, and ink. For clients, I also make book covers, editorial illustration, and bespoke design.

GRAPHIC NOVELS
Double-page spread, pages 1–2 of The Factory. Left page: a pockmarked landscape where tiny figures queue to enter a fuming factory. In the top-left corner, the title reads "THE FACTORY" above the author's name, "Lukasz Iskierka". Right page: the landscape stretches on, factories dotting the land all the way to the horizon. In the bottom-right corner stands a friendly-looking robot with arms crossed. Its caption reads: "I'm Glitch. Well, it's what I like to call myself, but no one here really knows that. Every unit in the Factory has a signature and mine is LUPD-07822EJ1AZ."
The Factory — an 8-page sci-fi comic, drawn entirely in pencil.

The illustration is depicted in neutral, earthy colors, capturing the central theme of aging with grace and acceptance.
NATURAL GROWTH | editorial illustration | traditional
An illustration features a surreal scene with an Alpine Ibex merging with rocky mountain peaks, embodying the spirit of the Alps. The Ibex takes on the form of a commanding mountain itself, standing prominently in the landscape. The setting sun casts a warm glow behind the Ibex-shaped peak, while a dark blue sky stretches overhead, overlooking a coniferous woodland at the mountain's base.

Step into Serenity: A solitary figure in his thirties sits on the doorstep of a quaint house surrounded by enchanting apple trees. The house stands an otherworldly landmass suspended and adrift in the evening sky, while the dark blue heavens are gently illuminated by the radiant presence of the Moon, peering from behind delicate clouds. The painting evokes a profound sense of tranquillity and contentment in solitude, rendered through a palette of muted, neutral tones with shades of blue and a soft, pale-yellow Moon, contrasted by the warm, inviting orange glow emanating from the house.
SOLITUDE | editorial illustration | digital
In a park alley on a rainy day, two men stand locked in a loving embrace, one of them sheltering both with a brick-red umbrella. Muted colors dominate the scene, with the umbrella's hue drawing the eye to the central point of the image, where warmth and togetherness triumph over the unpleasant weather.

GAME ASSETS
A bespoke 2D digital game asset in the shape of a campaign map for a Community Campaign, 'Flame and Shadow', for the Songs of Conquest game. It has been tailored to depict the story written by the client. This commission illustrates a region called 'Southern Nasmir', representing a mix of woodlands, three small villages, a mountain range, a river, a lake, and even a small desert where a wizard's tower stands. The 2D game asset has been designed to successfully imitate the map being hand-drawn on real paper.

Find Peace in Pages: An illustration portrays a woman in her mid-thirties, lounging on her bed, absorbed in the world of the book she reads, while a black cat naps at her feet. An open book makes up the cosy corner of the woman’s bedroom. Just like the walls, it hosts many windows looking out at a sky dotted with fluffy clouds, kissed by the setting sun. A second cat perches on the windowsill, gazing at the serene vista.
