SEAK: Graffiti and Street Art Diary

Die Empfehlung für diese Auftragsarbeit kam über einen alten Freund oder Förderer.

Der Neusser hafen wollte von mir einen ihrer Container im Rahmen einer,

Live Performance lackiert haben.

Auf der Rückseite hat eine Freundin von mir Parallel einen Graffiti Workshop mit

Kindern und Jugendlichen durchgeführt. Das ganze fand im Rahmen des Neusser Hafenfest statt.

Vielen dank noch mal an die ausführende Agentur für die tolle Organisation.

Die Tochter von Martin Kippenberger zählt mittlerweile auch zu meinen Sammlerinnen.

Helena sprüht selber, und beschäftigt sich seit ein paar Jahren mit Graffiti und Street Art.

Helli give them Hell!

The Daughter of the infamous German Artist Martin Kippenberger just became a Collector of mine.

Helena is following the Graffiti and Street Art scene for some time now.

looking back to the satelite series ive did for the biennale in Shenzhen ill tend to break down my letters more and more recently into plain satellites.
ill started this canvas 3 years ago, and it took me almost 2 month in my studio to finish this baby up.
love and hate are sometimes so close together. iam kinda over with those hardcore detailed big canvases unless ill add a zero at the end or triple the first number.
no one told me 16 years ago that urban art will be so much work.
in anycase thats a keeper deluxe, for sale only in good and the right hands.
still thinking about a good title. it kinda represents the infinitive possibilties, movement, creative chaos, the joy of repeating yourself,….

during the prepartion for my first show in Los Angeles in 2003, ive became interviewed by Ian lynam in a near by donut place.
besides my Interview you will find other interesting statements and positions by fellow urban art collegs like Mike Giant, barry “twist” mcgee, my good friend Mirko Reisser (daim), my friend the founder of awr,msk, and seventh letter Eclipse, aswell as Jerry “joker” Inscoe, Delta from Amsterdam, and the cholo tagstyle legend Chaz bojorquez,……..

While everyone is focusing on prints and the secondary market, this rare huge Monster of canvas is now finally finished after 3 years.
My personal record in fighting with a painting in terms of size/action/details/time
Ill guess this one falls under the urban art categorie ” schluesselwerk”, or in other words, its a beautiful highly detailed accident.
Dont know ive it will end up in an auction, or ive i will stash it for someone special.
maybe its time think about some highclass prints.
iam still thinking about a name, “we`re having a party, my memories and me” vs ” the mother of all battles”. i open for suggestions…….

Nach denn ganzen Ausstellungen und freien Arbeiten der letzten Jahre, hatte ich mal wieder richtig Lust auf eine Naturalistische Anfrage wo ich gegenständlich sprühen konnte.

Thema und Motiv haben der Auftraggeber und ich gemeinsam bei ein paar Tassen Espresso erarbeitet.

The good thing about doing commission/murals, there is usually a very healthy budget, the money is fast and easy, you can be someone else for a few hours, fool arround artisticly, have a laugh, learn a new approach on building up a painting, and get artistcly naughty and kinky besides your regular line of work as an artist. esspecially when you have a crazy client like this one here.
this atomic bomb mural is by the why the major wall of a living room.
