MICHAL DUTKIEWICZ has been doing high quality pin-ups for an Australian publisher for the past four years.
He is the three-time recipient of the Australian Black and White Artists Stanley Award for Best Australian Adventure Strip Artist.
He has worked on such projects as LOST IN SPACE, SUPERMAN, BA TMAN (especially the DC movie adaptation of BATMAN FOREVER), THE SPECTRE, CA WOMAN and WOL VERINE, and has done trading cards for Image, Frew and Marvel.
He works in a combination of digital and traditional styles and has done cartooning, storyboarding, miniature and prop construction for magazine photo shoots, graphic design including typographic design and illustration for magazines, film companies and children's books as well as corporate illustration and design.
"Since Michal joined The Picture in 1999 his art has defined a new genre for hundreds of thousands of devotees throughout Australia. His mixture of near-photographic realism and vibrant, detailed fantasy background has continued an evolution which today sees him as a master and leader in his style - a style which he was instrumental in bringing into being in the first place. In short, for The Picture, Michal has put the 'ah' back in art."
