I’m in the process of building a new website just for artwork projects I’ve done recently, as I haven’t uploaded anything new for over a year, but in the mean time here are some drawings from a recent project for a band called LAskA.

Here’s their bio:

Formed in the Autumn of 2012 by British musicians Amy Hiller, Rhys Baker and Stephen Baxter. LAskA’s sound is rooted in electronica, shoegaze and pop. Nocturnal synths and ambient organ drones wash around twisted beats and sub basslines, while hook-laden male/female vocal harmonies ebb dreamily among blissed-out guitar and piano figures.

Their debut EP is available to download or stream for free here or here:

Very good things are happening with this brilliant project, initiated by Carmina Masoliver. 

Poetry and Paint is a project that aims to merge visual art with written word. Carmina has put together an anthology (which includes some of my poems) and the launch for this, as well as an exhibition, will take place on 30 March. Check here for more deets- I'll be performing on the night too!

I illustrated Selina Nwulu's poems in the new Poetry & Paint Anthology. The launch event is on March 30th. Check http://poetryandpaint.wordpress.com/2013/02/10/event-flyer/ for more info. It's near Old Street tube station. Here's the illustration I did, and the flyer below: Zofia Walczak Poetry & Paint Illustration 2013

I'll be performing at this for International Women's day this Friday. Really looking forward to a night full of dancing, singing, stand up poetry and art exhibitions as well as speaking with the local and global women's rights campaigners who will be there on the night.

The suggested donation is £7 (with £2 concessions) which will go to the local, national and international women's charities Aylesbury Everywomen's Centre, UK Feminista, and Ghashful Scholarship fund in Bangladesh.

After a long long overdue month long holiday in March, surrounded by the most beautiful nature and people, it’s been a tough time settling back to London life, though I think I’m finally over it.

This is a random selection of the music that’s been inspiring me to draw and write recently, and a new drawing. I’ve also been posting these up on my Brushes and Beats Tumblr. Read More

Michael Watts, who I interviewed in April 2010 for Ctrl.Alt.Shift about his excellent documentary on mining in Peru and its effect on the indigenous population, has produced this film for Al Jazeera. This is an extremely important issue, so please read, watch and share.

These are my photos from another great Word House night. The featured poets were Mark Grist, Sabrina Mahfouz and Emma Jones. They were absolutely awesome. All the headliners also happened to be comedy geniouses.  Mark Grist is the poet who got quite a few people might recognise from when this video went a bit viral:

Enjoy!
