About me: Kristyna Baczynski is an illustrator-come-animator born and raised in a rural Pennine village. At a young age she discovered an affinity with wax crayons and colouring books, spending her formative years scrawling on walls and cutting and sticking together a company of home-made toys.
All grown up she left home in search of artistic education, a pilgrimage that landed her in the city of Leeds, where she lives on a balanced diet of jelly beans, B Movies, science fiction pulp covers and Eastern European folk art, along with Betty Boop and Ren 'n' Stimpy cartoons.
Today she spends time drawing new characters endlessly in her sketchbook and huddles over a light box in her attic bedroom producing characters, comics and cartoons.
If you'd like anything bringing to life on paper or screen just holler!

My debut novel, The Cuckoo Parchment and the Dyke, has just launched. If you get a chance I'd be grateful if you'd go to my profile to find out more. The story's about Dada, art and artists, and the attempt to instigate revolution by means of art.
