SEAK: bubblebobble Berlin

vorher, before, smells like teen spirit Graffiti: SEAK Live from Berlin Live from Berlin Graffiti: SEAK Live from Berlin

Ein langes Streetart Wochende in Berlin. Eingeladen zum Gründungstreffen der Graffitigilde.

Yuhuu ich bin trotz meiner kritischen Bedenken auf der Gründungsurkunde. In vieler Hinsicht ein paar spannende und entspannende Tage.

Es war auf jedemfall schön mal alle alten Kollegen wieder zusehen. Von der Graffitigilde werdet ihr bzw die Heads noch in Zukunft mehr hören. Das ganze ist demokratisch angeplant.

Neben bei hatte ich noch das aufgeschlossene Berlin und seine bunten Einwohnerinnen, kennen und schätzen zu lernen. Und für die einige Sprüher der ganz alten Schule,  hat SEAK  “Rache” genommen.

Nämlich für alle die, die zu On the Run Zeiten, ihre Caps nicht bekommen haben. (back in the days, on the run war mal, bzw ist Deutschlands erstes Graffiti Magazine.)

Wie hat Seak Rache genommen? Er hat sämtliche über Jahrzehnte sorgsam gehüteten RTA Samtlila Outline Eisodur/Belton Vorräte von ZXXXXXX für eine überdimensionale Streetart lookalike organische SEAK Sprechblase geleert. Auf die alten Zeiten.

Die gute Outline Farbe!! Das hätte man doch auch alles streichen können.

War ein toller Nachmittag, wir hatten viel Spass. Berlin ist immer eine Reise wert.

SEAK Interview in Italys INDOLE UrbanArt Magazine

SEAK Interview and 12Page feature @ Indole Magazine

Indole Magazine, one of Italys leading Urban Art Publications did a 12 Page feature about SEAK,

aswell as a Interview (English/Italian) about the recent years, and his Style Influence in the Community.

Feel free to check out the Full English Translation here:

Source: Indole/Different Signs Magazine No.2 from Italy

Indole: Your style is so unique and not like much of the graffiti you see or
what people associate with graffiti. What influences your style of artwork?

SEAK: I made my incapilities to my advantages, for example not doing straight crisp lines to get an honest soft roundish stroke in my way of painting.
Basically accepted my personality and my popcultural background as part of my identity, and were honest enough to show it. And mix that with the skills i was really good in. Like doing fadings, playing with light and colours,
I was searching in my own personality for my content. The toys i played with as a kid, all the years playing computer, a bit of biting other rolemodel writers in inthe beginning, and later conciuosly refelecting the zeitgeist/ contempoary vibe of the society i and we were living in.

Indole: When you were young did you see yourself as being an artist when you
got older or did you have other aspirations?

SEAK: I guess i valued my creative output with the same importance like for example an maurizio cattelan does too. I just had different names for it. Instead of using the word „visual language“ i would have used the word „style“, to give you a very easy example.

neues Geschenkpaket von Nike: für Subkulturelle Verdienste

seak_nike_airmax_limited.jpg

the first time i became hooked into the whole Sneaker thing was thru the CoCurator of a Show i had in Portland Oregon. Someone in the Nike Headquarter thought SEAK would might like some brand new dunk low supreme`s. (really really rare, and super comfortable!!)

i think it was a year later when weve met here in Cologne thru a friend and ex graffiti writer the head guys of nike europe in Hilversum. a few meetings later the plan was to get a signature shoe.
well the show project never really became realized. But Nike didnt wanted to let me go either, being kinda friends now. In good company now with eisfeld, sido, harris, several very good artist friends of mine, oliver korritke, and other german hipsters: Please welcome the sneaker flatrate/crazy secret vip mansion partys/ invites to berlin!!
