Graphic designer with the temperament of a punk-rocker. Animator of the alternative scene and leader of the legendary quasi-theatrical group Komuna Otwock / Otwock Commune. Known for his posters created for the controversial plays staged by the TR Warszawa theatre, formerly called Teatr Rozmaitości.
A lawyer by education, Laszuk completed the Post-Secondary Polygraphical Study and practiced his craft at the Spółdzielnia Gryf /Griffon Co-Op printing-office. Right from the beginning he was fascinated by technical issues. He reminisces: I was looking for a job that would help me win over my illness, which made me read every letter, every text I saw on the street.
His first experiences involving the use of software that enabled the merging of graphics and photography date back to the early 90s. When he became acquainted with the programs Ventura and Page Maker he began to think that a graphic artist doesn’t necessarily have to have the technique of a plastic artist in order to skillfully merge texts and images. That was a creative breakthrough for Laszuk.
