Drawing as an Extreme Sport

Dominika Wróblewska is a freelance illustrator based in Gdańsk, Poland, specializing in reportage illustration and writing. A keen observer of the world around her, Wróblewska is fascinated by the idea of drawing as a form of sport, pushing the limits of where a drawing can be made. A good example is her long-term project capturing those who meander through subterranean cave systems. Wróblewska’s illustrated reporting of farmers protests and the winter swimming culture in Poland was recently published in On the Spot. She is also one of the artists featured in “Reportage Drawing,” a seminal book on the subject by Irish-American author and academic Louis Netter.
