2010-10-05T07:10:00.000-07:00

Came back from the opening of my solo exhibition "Creatures From The 23rd Dimension" at BARAKA in Krakow. The 5 days in the city were incredible! The cityself itself looks like a movie background because it looks so unbelievable great. I arrived on tuesday after 4 hours delay and started to prepare the installation for the exhibition. After working on wednesday 14 hours and thursday 6 hours the show/installation was ready... the opening was a blast with around 400 people coming by. After too much wodka i needed a day off and painted with NAWER on saturday. Big dschinkuje to Maciek (and his wife for the super saturday evening dinner) and NAWER for the great time in Krakow! Hello and see you to Bartek, Magda and all the people i met!

BARAKA ... if you are in Krakow check it out! a super cool place for a coffee and maybe some wodka ;)

Tuesday: Starting the installation

Wednesday: 14 hours of building and painting

Thursday: Final touch ups and OPENING!

First i was invited doing a workshop for artschool students and graff writers in Bialystok alongside RSN-ODIN (Bialystok), AZO (Kiev) and SUNT (Gdansk). I stayed some days and really enjoyed the city while painting three small collaboration pieces in the free time. THANKS Tomasz and his lovely wife, "the teachers", the people from the workshop, the guys from the short movie festival and crazy Peter for the good time!

I don`t really believe in any kind of religion but the churches were just awesome!

One of the oldest stores in town and the logotype is a burner!

Here are some photos of my latest installations for the "Concrete Playground" and "PST!..." exhibitions. In the future i would like to build more 3D stuff like a "Geisterbahn" (ghost train). Thanks to Disturbanity, Marius and Zonenkinder for inviting me to these great exhibitions plus JensBesser and Twik for the photos in Hamburg and Essen. Special thanks to HorstOne for helping me in Hamburg! Check here for more photos of "Concrete Playground" and "PST!..."

Installation at the "PST!..." exhibition | Gängeviertel Hamburg
You have to walk on the tongue (it`s hard to see it on the photo but the red carpet got the shape of a snake tongue) through the mouth to see the artworks in the back.

Installation at the "Concrete Playground" exhibition | Zollverein Essen
The main idea was to have an impression of a flat wall when you look from a distance...

... and when you take some steps to the side you will see some parts are "3D"!

Will I Go To Hell For This

2010-05-18T03:50:00.000-07:00

Just two and a half weeks in may are gone, 3 exhibitions and painting like hell i got some free time to read the new purchased book "Will I Go To Hell For This" from Copenhagen. A great book in my opinion after flipping through; well designed with hardcover and printed in 5 colors (extra silver) and tons of never before seen flicks from the Copenhagen subway! This is definetly a must have for your bookshelf and for a graff book junkie collector like me :)! Check here, here and become a fan here and make sure to buy a copy!

PSSST!...another one!

Nike ID asked me to use one of my paintings in Berlin for their latest campaign. You can find 40! posters in Berlin. Thanks to DeModern agency for their effort to get in contact with me and ask for a permission! It`s not very common these days and a lot other corporations really fucked it up in the past. I really like it and the size is even bigger than the original painting :)

The Mudd Club

After painting it was time to go out and we ended in a bar where the first "Female Arm Wrestling Contest" was held. For sure we had a lot of fun!

Another cool bar in Madrid... somehow i forgot the name but the interior was awesome! Tons of action figures and other weird stuff

While Deeone and Meki went back to Germany on sunday i spent the day painting with BRUJO, BESDO, GORE before heading back to Berlin.

2009-07-30T07:55:00.000-07:00

On my recent trip i went to the Schwarzwald area (Black Forest) that means mountains, south germany and good beer :) On one day i went to Freiburg to meet DUST whom i never met in person before (crazy internet shit :) and do a wall with him. The sun was burning like hell again!

Copenhagen Roskilde Mayhem

2009-07-15T10:38:00.000-07:00

Had a great time with master of disaster MEK One and lots of other writers in Copenhagen and Roskilde 2 weeks ago. First stop Copenhagen/Sydhavn one of the greatest hall of fames i painted at. We met GEBES (DK), DOES (NL) and CHAS (NL) for a big production. The weather was awesome and once again i got sunburned as hell.

After we finished the wall we went to Roskilde where the situation was like that:
The festival opens on thursday but 10000 people broke down the fences on saturday to get a good camping place and to "start" the festival. In short there was complete anarchy on the camping places because there was not much secruity at that moment. The autobahn and streets around the festival area was full of people carrying their stuff (tents and beer) with shopping carts and trolleys. Never have seen something like this in my whole life...
After some beers and walking around in the favellas (camping place) we started painting the next day.

It was impossible to get the whole wall on one photo! i painted a 50mtr production (alongside Nutroe, Mek, Enuff, Chucky, Nike, Bone and a lot of other writers which names i can`t remember) and next to us where around 100mtr to paint and many many more walls. I think the day we started where 35 writers painting...

Making of "Climate Demon"

Final

Canvas i did for the Graff-Exhibition at Roskilde

Totally wrecked we went off to Copenhagen on tuesday to chill. We stayed at Nørrebro area and this was passing by...

Pretty hard to get crossed on a train... maybe a good reason to leave the city!?

Finally after 8 hours i was back in Berlin on wednesday and was wrecked the next 3 days... If you like to see more what happened in Roskilde check here
Thanks and skøl to all people i met in these five days of fun! Special thanks to TIWS for the support!

Auf der Reeperbahn nachts um halb eins...

2009-05-04T05:22:00.000-07:00

On my last trip i went to Hamburg to visit my mates Förtress and Mek to party and paint. Another reason was the opening of the Smash 137 exhibition at Vicious Gallery. Really cool show and a lot of great artwork (drop by if you are around!) After the exhibition the evening is history and we went home at around 6 in the morning.
The sunday was kind of ruined but we managed to paint (still wait for the photo FORTRESS!). After some beer and pizza it was time to chill and get ready for monday to start the production with Murfy. Somehow crazy Murfy decided to paint the 4x16mtr huge wall. We painted like machines for about 12 hours and i was completely wrecked... Murfy finished the mural last weekend... THANKS Dr. Ayran!, thanks to "Hotel Vomit" aka Mr. Ress and "Prost!" to all the people i met at this crazy weekend.

Happy Eastern!

It`s been a while since the last entry... on eastern i was away in Celle. The weather was awesome, we had a barbeque, peruvian food and some beer. For sure i spent some time to check out the city and hall of fame "CD-Kaserne" the place where the first "Battle of the Year" was held. On monday i met uncle Cren and 7 other writers to paint a huge hall in Hannover. Sunburned and some beers later the wall was nearly finished and i went back to Celle to paint there with Phil of the local crew MofaBoys the next day. A great weekend where i met a lot of cool people...

No product placement just the colors i used...

After 3 weeks of stress preparing everything for the exhibition it was time to chill. Me and my girl went to Munich to visit some friends, have some good bavarian food and a beer or two.

Really like this "advertisement" in an underground station

Before and after... BURP!

We went to the Toy-Museum in the city centre. They have some really cool robots on display. Here are some of my favorites: A Chogokin and Star Wars rip off

I tried to open the cabinet to get some "souvenirs" but they had cctv, sensors and detectives

The "brown robot" is one of my favorites as well! It`s from the 16th century, made out of clay i think, from the Czech Republic and is called "The Golem"!

"Happy Hooligan" tin toy... what the fuck???

On saturday we went to a fleamarket at the "Trabrennbahn". Very cool place with antique stuff and trash inside the whole place

The store is not worth it but the name and the shop sign are cool

Rame from Tokyo was in town and after 2 hours we found a wall to paint last sunday. We had to handle security assholes at a once legal wall, a frozen wall and snow. Perfect sunday instead of chilling with your girl, make some good food and watch a movie :)

Mek organized that we could paint at the GraffitiBox Jam at the Yaam club in Berlin on the 20th of july. The weather was a mess and we drunk more beer to let the sun shine :) There were plenty of writers and live rap acts the whole day. Really cool event!

This time the MajoBrothers invited me and i went with Mek to Düsseldorf. There was a crew meeting and we painted a huge wall with around 15 people at the Rheinufer on friday and saturday. Saturday evening we all went to cologne for a HipHopJam at Robodonien. Robodien is a ultracool robot festival! Check it out here it`s amazing! Another weekend of fun and weirdness. The photos speak for themselves i think!

Some stupid toys went over my 3x10mtr production with CIDE! It was 95% completed and i only had to do some outlines and second outline... One photo is left of the production (Thanks BARON!) In 15 minutes i painted a "Respekt!!!" over the whole wall to fuck their toy shit up. That`s how it is!?

Respekt!!! Have you ever heard of respect? Go home to mama and practise!

Back from Copenhagen

2008-08-11T09:52:00.000-07:00

Last week i went to Copenhagen for some "business" reasons combined with a long weekend to paint. On saturday 13 people from Denmark, Australia, Austria and Germany met to paint a 70m long wall. This hall was one of the best i have seen and it is a really chilled place. Will update the full collage soon! Sunday was relaxed and i painted at a playground/sportsfield. Thanks Boney, Gebes and Fie! Shout outs to all the people i met at the weekend!

Just took a rest from horror business and went up to the north of germany to visit my parents, friends, the baltic sea and the summer exhibition of the university where i studied. Of course i painted with my partners in crime MEKI ONE, SOUP DA ROCK, FRED ONER and PREZ TIGER!

That`s how i felt after partying in Hamburg...

In cooperation with Vice Magazine Germany i did this artwork for Sony. The job was 3 days of fun to build an 25 sqm apartement out of cardboard. I really like the artwork and thought i should share it with you. The ad is in the "Mexican" issue over two pages! Yeah, yeah, i know...sell out...blabla...have you ever read this book? its pretty good!

Barcelona again!

2008-07-08T15:28:00.000-07:00

Last week i went to Barcelona again to spend some holiday there. The weather was awesome and i spent some days in the city and went to Freaks (a must for all comic-, figure-, dvd-, artbook-geeks), Montana Shop/Gallery, Iguapop Gallery and afterwards directly to beach. To my surprise Barcelona runs the Zero Tolerance Program like New York and all legal spots are closed (Learn more here)

Took a regional train to a canal near barcelona. It was the biggest hall of fame i have seen, hundreds of metres both sides covered with graffiti.

Small impression of the canal

Went with some friends to the opening of the BreadandButter Fair at Placa Espanya. One of my favorite bands The Hives played there (i have never seen them live!) and Ray Cookes moderated the night. Pure fun, barbeque and beer for free.

2 Guys from England painted this wall at the BnB Fair. Really like the characters

2008-06-10T05:01:00.000-07:00

MekOne and me went to NYC for the first time in the beginning of may for 10 days. The trip was awesome and here is what happened...

Arrival at the 16th floor in Manhattan aka "Endzeitstimmung".

Saturday breakfast as usual: "Steak, 3 Eggs, Bacon and French Fries, please!"

Our limo to the party! Loaded with 12 bottles of champagne, 20 girls and 50cent as the driver.

Perfect for a hang over. "Murakami Exhibition" at the Brooklyn Museum on sunday.

Cool bombings on our way to the museum

German coffee machine causes some trouble at Jay`s place

Nice carpets at a fleamarket in Brooklyn

Tourist program on sunday. Chillin at Times Square. Really fun place, because everybody is taking pictures and wants to be photographed. I think around 298000 photos are taken here daily... maybe more

T-Rex at Toys`R`Us. A child`s dream on 5 floors! And a star wars collectors`s too.

Big wheel in the middle of the store!

5 Pointz Hall of Fame / Queens! We went there to get a permission for a wall at the biggest hall in ny, run by MeresOne and Dizm. The atmosphere is incredible: Overground subways passing by and cool productions by writers from all over the world on every wall. Check 5PTZ

Me in Cinatown

Monday in the Bronx. We went to Tuff City to buy cans; the shop is a mixture of tattoo/graffiti store and customers will get their tattoo in small recreated ny subway cars. We took the wrong station and walked around 12 blocks through the bronx and found the best and cheapest sneaker stores on our way. The bronx really looked like what i had in my imagination of New York: Small shops, really cool store signs, throw ups, tags and crowded streets.

Another tourist attraction! "Writers Bench" in the South Bronx

DAY 1 | At tuesday morning we went with 45 cans in our backpacks to the "5 Pointz Hall of Fame" to start our 5,5 x 12m production. Around 30 degrees in the daytime and we painted till the evening. We were really tired and the only thing we could manage was drinking beer and checking emails.

DAY 2 | We borrowed ladders and a mobile scaffolding. This crazy thing was kind of sketchy because it moves when you were staying on top and the ground was not really flat. Again we went in the morning and left in the evening.

Leaving Queens

DAY 3 | Final touch ups and taking photos! In 3 days a lot of people went by and gave props to the artists and took hundreds of photos at the hall.

Huuuuge!

"Welcome to the lay up! Please enter!"

Last week i spent 5 days in Basel and was under some circumstances part of the Urban Feedback Exhhibition (Thanks Tore, Roland and Ralle!). I finished painting at the exhibition and went with FlyingFortress, Smash137, Jers and Jury to France to paint there. It`s really cool that you can go to France and Germany by car in half an hour from Basel. The spot is killer! Thanks Ress and Smash for picking me up! More flicks from the exhibition coming soon!
