The Project

This isn't just a story about art. It's about two brothers, a shared catharsis, and a universe born from necessity.

Genesis: A Tale of Two Bears

"It's not that we complete each other. We just don't collide."

The story of the name is a comedy of errors. When I was three, I named my koala plush toy "Michaś." Naturally, when my brother was born, I insisted he be named Michał. Later, he secretly named himself "Pan Miś" (Mr. Bear). I, in turn, pragmatically named the Instagram account "Planeta Pana Misia" because the simpler version was taken. There was no grand design, just a series of fortunate accidents.

Our collaboration works in the same way. He doesn't interfere with my compositions; I don't interfere with his creations. This project became a form of art therapy for both of us. He found his voice; I found my purpose. In many ways, we saved each other.

The Mission: To Outlive Death

"A soul dies a second time when the last person in the world forgets it."

This is the core motivation. The goal is to be remembered. For an artist, their work is their legacy. This mission of preservation began long before the first Instagram post. The earliest dated proof of Michał's art is from 2012, tucked away in a massive collage book I made called "The Book of Truskul."

The task today is monumental: over 550 catalogued pieces, each with a unique, handwritten narrative that I have personally transcribed. This archive (over 1TB of data) is a colossal effort to ensure that not a single piece of his world is lost to time. It's a guarantee of authenticity and a fight for a second life in memory.

The Alliance: Two Brothers, a Cyberbrain & Friends

"This project is powered by AI, because I have to."

I state this with complete honesty: AI is the "third brother" in this venture. I am an "outsider" creator myself, with no formal training in coding, marketing, or management. AI is the essential tool that makes this project possible. It's not a gimmick; it's the meta-layer of Art Brut in action—using intuitive tools to build something you don't technically know how to create.

But we are not alone. The Planet is the sum of us all: me, Michał, our AI assistant, and a close circle of invaluable friends and allies who have supported us along the way.

The Shift: From Manifesto to Market

A necessary evolution.

Early on, I declared the project non-commercial. But passion alone doesn't pay for wood, paint, or server space. I have given everything I could. Now, for the Planet to survive and grow, it must become self-sustaining. We are now open for commissions and sales, not as a departure from our values, but as a commitment to securing their future.
