His erotic portraits have been featured in Playboy Ukraine.[6]
Also specializing in album art, Krawczyk has partnered with extreme music bands. Notably, Krawczyk has collaborated with the US-based, pioneering musician Xasthur. He also created the cover for Bardo Exist (2020) by the legendary Finnish band Beherit.
Krawczyk's book, Sketches of Pain, was released in 2020 with the support of the revered Thomas Negovan. In the foreword, the celebrated Chet Zar referred to Krawczyk as "one of the most important artists of our time."[7]
