Each time I read this title/name, keep thinking of "Zbignew Breszinski", the Carter administration official. Know that's not who you mean-just had to say it. Pardon my silliness.

Impressions of what's posted in thread: First picture reminds me of Giger's work. Others are scary & look kinda' like covers of heavy metal music albums-not saying that to be dismissive, that's what I associate images with. Creative & spooky, aesthetically pleasing design/execution, some content disturbing.

I thought it was Brezhinski (sp?) as well. Likes 'em, but man, that ship has to be empty to be riding that high...

That picture will always remind me of the Arcade Fire song "Black Waves/Bad Vibrations."

Very interesting. The last picture reminds me of Gustave Doré. He illustrated Poe's "Raven" and Coleridge's "Ancient Mariner", among other things.

That doesn't make his name any less silly.

Honestly, the silliness of his name is totally irrelevant.

Not to me. I have a difficult time appreciating his art because his name is so silly.

If thats how you judge art, then you really have primitive taste my friend.

What is he supposed to change his name to? He's merely using the name that his mother gave him. It's the Polish variant of Giselle, I assume.
