About me
Thanks for stopping by.
I'm Lukasz Iskierka, a UK-based illustrator from Poland. When I work with traditional tools, I do it for the love of texture, spontaneity, and getting my fingers dirty. When I use digital medium, I'm drawn to its flexibility and forgiving nature.
My original stories explore topics of identity, belonging and loneliness. Technology has a special place in my storytelling, too. As a vintage sci-fi buff I've always been fascinated by machines and our interactions with man-made 'intelligence'. In the spirit of this, in 2025 I completed MSc in AI. Being a creative professional working in academia and research, I hold an informed perspective on the place and role of AI in our society. I strongly believe in its potential for good in medicine and science. Art and creativity, however, should be reserved for humans.
All my work is done by me without the use of generative AI.
I've had the privilege of working on commissions ranging from small private clients to Russel Group universities in the UK. I enjoy tailoring my approach to what each project needs: from research communication, through book covers and editorial, to game assets — I'm capable of finding the right voice for each project.
