Marek Lachowicz lives In Gdynia, Poland. He spends his free time playing on his PSP and sometimes drawing comics.

While being a loving husband and father he’s also a creator of one of the most recognizable Polish cartoon superheroes – Czlowiek Paroovka (The Weenie Man) and the whole universe packed with such characters as Czopek Piotrek (Suppository Peter), Grand Banda, Gang Wasaczy (the Mustache Gang) and Czlowiek Grzyb (Mushroom Man).
