Année Bissextile

 

Hey, hey, hey, the site is running! Glad you made it and came over! To cut the story short - this website exists for a sole purpose of exposing some of my so called artwork and photography to your curious eyes. Hope you'll have a pleasant stay, and if you feel like getting in touch with me, you'll find the address elsewhere on this very homepage.
Shot outs to Occulkot for helping me out with accomplishing this website big way!

Uhhh, not many updates recently, eh? My stalkers already wear out I see. Crap! But anyway, busy days now here at Jaszak Towers, we're messing around with too many things at once, but at least it means more product soon. Just finished Antimatter "Planetary Confinement" edition for Europe (worldwide actually methinks, excluding USA) doing some nice layout switch ups, now we got a line of another releases, including priority THE VISION BLEAK "Carpathia" album, and then... weeee... SECRETS OF THE MOON "The Exhibitions EP", LEAKH "Et Cetera" CD, DORNENREICH "Hexenwind" CD and "Looking for Europe" (neofolk history book/compilation CD). Thank god it's sunday.

About année bissextile

Ahem, well... What can I say? Born in the spring time of very punk rock year 1977, the time of prochaine annee bissextile, managed to grow up to 190 cm of one hell of a bastard. Finished some more or less worthless schools, ended up doing my own thing, without paying much attention to the surroundings. I used to do all sort of drawing all over the books in school which eventually later turned into wild interest in drawing Robocop portraits in mighty Art Studio on ZX Spectrum - or rather its glorious clone Timex 2048 (Eight horizontal and vertical lines and you are done! These were the times!). It led me through amateur websites I did for my fave bands, then various independent press publications of mine to end up in a first fulltime designing job for Morbid Noizz productions (a Polish record label, known mostly for ripping other labels off. Doh!). Quickly swapped for another designing jobs at Wolfpack and Bad Taste magazine, did some freelancing jobs here and there, to end up as a full time graphic designer maniac at German Prophecy Productions, where I enjoy working 'til this very day. I started at Prophecy with the catalogue number Pro044, now we've just hit Pro074! :) In the meanwhile, I enjoy crawling around with the camera, capturing reality, and do some people-shots in the photo studio I am still building with laziness and passion ;) I suppose this website will give you some hints, who, where and how. Keep browsin'!

Short story, no big deal. You can touch me if you want.
