Who are you?
My name is Åukasz and I've just hit 40, so I perhaps it's time to start a midlife crisis and buy that Porsche. Seriously though, I've been doing what I am doing since 20+ years and can't think of another way to keep going. I am drifting between album covers and photography, though I dabble in video clips, set designs, layouts and whatever floats my boat and pays the bills at the same time. I've been blessed with possibilities to do what I like to do, so I try to keep the complaining at minimal
level ;)
My work is dark but passionate. I am not an expert in the field of talking about myself or even my creations for that matter. The ideas show up in my head, though I tend to have problems even with expressing them with words, which can be a drag sometimes, but in the end, it works. I have no idea if I am good at what I am doing and I don't care. I just want to keep doing it.
What is your next creative project?
I've just completed a couple of tasks: a video for a Polish metal band Decapitated, album artwork for Swedish coffee-obsessed death metallers Perkulatory, a couple of book layouts... Heading towards completing an album artwork for a German band Sun Of The Sleepless - a simple, crude, black and white imagery with lots of owls, candles and grimness. You know, black metal. Apart from that, I am not sure what's next, but something's definitely behind the corner.
What do you like about Portfoliobox?
I've fallen in love with the simplicity of it all. I've been website-less for 10 years because I was bored with HTML and hated the Wordpress mumbo jumbo. I've found Portfoliobox accidentally and within a day I knew that was my home. Good job, y'all.
