Meet Sawa Bialczynska, art director and lead artist of Pigsodus.

Every beautiful thing you’ll see in our game comes from the vast imagination of this extraordinary person. It is good to know a bit more about this raising star of video game design.

Sawa was born on September 25th 1986 in a rather cold country in Central Europe. Her grandfather Stanislaw Pagaczewki was the author of a very popular children’s book series about Balthazar the Sponge (after which we named our dog by the way).

Her father – Czeslaw Bialczynski is a science fiction writer and a scholar on the topic of slavic mythology (you know it from Witcher series) who once told her daughter that everyone in the world should take LSD at least once in their lives.

In such an environment it was easy for Sawa to get into creative arts. She studied art history and had a brief (but intense) episode as a graffiti artist. After her studies she got fed up with odd jobs and started a web design company Lonely Lama Design. The company was (and still is – don’t hesitate to contact Lama if you need something done) pretty successful.

On 9th of August 2014 Sawa married a lucky guy who persuaded her that they can make awesome video games together. The wedding took place in a forest.

Now she is sharpening her pixel art skills designing Pigsodus and relaxing in the peaceful environment of Khanom, Thailand.
