Jasinski - The Locusts Aproach
As a personal challenge, I made a track for the KVRaudio.com contest ‘One synth challenge’.
Hi Aaron, where can I buy the NEStalgia print? I love it!
You can buy NEStalgia here:
Incredible - a Tumblr site worth spending more than 5 minutes looking at. Keep running! and thanks
Glad you like it. I will.
Now (vs Nuumads)
Just got into Robot Koch’s work. It’s pretty much the kind of music I’d love to make. So inspired.
Reading Raven
I did art direction and gamification consulting on this learn-to-read ipad app. If you have kids between 3-6 I guarantee they’ll have fun with it AND improve their reading skills. At least mine have. :)
Hi Jasin, I am Shashi from India, I am looking for a artist who can do a storyboard drawing? I am looking something similar to movie "Sin-City" sketching. Please let me know if you would be interested
send me an email let’s discuss! jasinskione@gmail.com

thank you for the reply. I've found how to add a page and I've also included the name of the page on the post I want to be filed under it. however, I don't understand how to set the page to show the results of the tag search.. sorry for being thick, but I'd be glad if you told me
I don’t remember exactly. Haha. I thin you look at a search result for your tag, like click on a tag in one of your posts and it’ll show a page with all those things you posted with that tag- then just copy that url.. ta-dah!
hiii!your art is coming to Rome and I'm very excited! Are you also gonna be at DCG? I'm a big fan, just wanted to say you rock! xx karima kh
I’m not going to be able to make it there this time. Can’t take the time off and can’t really afford it. Really really wish I could though.
hello, I really like your art. found you through the ableton forum. just wanted to ask how do you link the different posts you make to the tabs on the top of the page (art, music)?
in your customize settings i think there is an ‘add page’ function. Depending on your theme and CSS it will style this and place it somewhere on your page. I set the page to show the results of tag search. All my music stuff I make sure to tag ‘music’, art stuff all has the tag ‘painting’= Instant subcategory pages :)
Are you half polish or something? Your surname sounds like one :P
Polish name by way of my father’s father. So that makes me 1/4 I guess. I identify with my Polish heritage though.
Hey there, really big fan of your work and have a question. I understand it's quite broad but could you explain your process of creating your artwork. Where do your ideas come from and how do you develop those into a visual sketch that stays true to the idea, and then develop that sketch into a painting. Also technically how do you go about starting a painting? Drawing in figures, blocking in large space? As a young artist myself I would love some insight into how you go about it. Thanks
Took me a while to respond but here you go.
I can’t identify where my ideas come from as there isn’t just one source but they usually do come while I’m away from the easel, computer, or sketchbook. e.g. trying to fall asleep, taking a walk, a shower, or reading a book. A lot of times I’ll get several mediocre ideas and combine them into a decent idea or one idea will launch me into a better one that I hadn’t initially contemplated.
Lately I’ve taken to sketching things out in photoshop as it’s much faster for iterating and manipulating compositions and references. I print the sketch (or prop up my ipad with it full screen) and then re-draw it onto gessoed wood panel. I then outline the sketch with ink or paint and build up several layers of paint washes on top of that. Sometimes I do the washes first and then sketch on top. After that i start adding in dark areas, texture, and building up the image. A lot of it is trial and error and everyone does it a bit differently. Develop a system, try variations, find a method that works well for you.
I’d recommend the book “Alla Prima” by Richard Schmid as a very good reference for painting theory and technique. Hope that helps a bit!
aaron jasinski! i saw your piece with the Art o' Kungfu project on ISM. do you do sequential art? i have a graphic novel script that's greenlighted at a good publisher (nondisclosure agreement in effect) and the original artist i had on board probably can't do it. johnnypence at gmail.

Good luck Jake. Strangely, I feel entirely uneasy if I go a day without creating something. It leaves me feeling restless and unfulfilled. Time spent consuming things is often at odds with creating things. Playing games, for example, can be the alluring siren song that pulls me away from projects I really want to do.

so i was looking through your old site and was wondering if you ever made a space base children's book. "the arrival" and "solar system" seem like they would make a wonderful book.
those pieces were part of a calendar i did a bunch of years ago. It was kind of like a 12 page space story :)

How about "Caffein Enslavement" for the title of your girl with the chains of coffee cups connected to her neck? You might already have a name, but that's what I thought of anyway. Hope all goes at the show! :0)
Thanks! I’ll add that one to my list of options :)
Do you have any originals that you sell?
Yes I sell originals! Email me directly or contact the folks at www.gallery1988.com or www.screamingskygallery.com
I Aaron, it's Joele from Martinique who lives now in Canada (we met on icq a long time ago about 13 years I think , how r you ?
Woah, that was way back when! nice to hear from you again.
what happened to your old website? I saw an article about it and it was hailed as some design masterpiece! And now it redirects to a tumblr site? WTF?
It’s still on line but kind of hidden. It’s about 10 years old. Here’s a link if you want to check it out. http://www.aaronjasinski.com/oldsite.html

Most awesome response to a law suite EVER.

I am back, and I am excited.
Marriage has been wonderful so far, and nobody sabotaged my computer while I was gone.
The only negative thing going on at this moment is the Scrolls trademark lawsuit nonsense, and I think I came up with the perfect solution:
Remember that scene in Game of Thrones…
Hi Aaron, just chasing up (again) to make sure you received BeWrite’s standard art agreement and that everything is okay with respect to the contract and us using the images. If there's any problem, please email me directly and let me know - I'm like an anxious mother with my novel and keen to see it progress through to a firm publication date as soon as possible. Thank you! Magdalena Ball
Yup! Sent it off!

A track I made a while back. Work in progress.
Is there anyway to purchase a print of the one you did of Michael Jackson? I believe it was called "hanging up the glove". Also the one of the girl with the roses in her hair and the stage coach in the background. I just moved into my own place and I want to Aaron Jasinski the place out!
Woah! those are old pieces! The Michael Jackson piece was digital. I don’t have a high-res version of it. I should redo it as a real painting. :) I also don’t have a high-res version of the other piece. Sorry.
Hi Aaron, i was wondering what kind of paint are you using for the majority of you pieces?
I use Daniel Smith acrylic paints for the most part. I also use Golden (brand).
