I am particularly in demand for design work for music bands like Morecheeba, Tricky, Jimi Tenor, Metthew Herbert, Ayo and hundreds of others. I created vivid graphic and stage design for the popular Polish band Voo Voo.

I have organized dozens of happenings, performances, and exhibitions in galleries and public spaces in Poland, France, Belgium, Germany, Ukraine and Czechoslovakia.
