Model No.:1

Hi, my name is Grzegorz Kozakiewicz, I am an unique mixture of an artist, designer and craftsman, living in the United Kingdom and working as Concept Director at award winning Leeds based digital agency fuse8.

I am particularly interested in any transformation forms of analog inputs into digital output and making them work interactively. This is my "personal website" and here you will find the latest news about the interesting and innovative projects I have had the pleasure to work on. To keep up to date I suggest you join my facebook group and twitter. Thanks for visiting.

Pencil Rebel 2

Pencil Rebel 2 is the awards winning experimental website created by me  using mixed media, stop motion and Adobe Flash to provide a unique, interactive experience.

Web address: www.pencilrebel.com

If you live in the United States or Canada click here to play Pencil
Rebel on DisneyXD

The whole idea in this neverending fight between analogue and digital is that “Creativity is inside of us, not on the screen” and there are many ways to express yourself.

Tools: pencils, scalpels, hot glue and cardboard. For the transformation into Digital a Nikon D50, Photoshop and Flash, Mac & PC.

    Loved the game and how you made it!!! I reminds me of what I liked to do when I was younger… you probably had a lot of fun and work with this project. Very cool!

  • My sister was making some of the objects for the original film “King Size”, it was a part of the school project in Film Academy in Łódź :)
    Of course it was made in large scale.

    She’s name is Asia, check out her site :) http://www.asiakepka.com

    Very nice job Grzesiek.
    Pozdrowienia z Polski :)

  • AWESOME! What an inspiration — both the game and the uTube video on production. The concept and variety of multimedia and classic puzzle games is ingenious! I’ve passed along the link to several of my dedicated game creation and Flash students. We’ll see how many votes we can garner for your game.

    Congrats, too, for the mention on Adobe’s “Edge” newsletter. Otherwise, we’d never have seen your work!
