SEAK: Graffiti and Street Art Diary

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…….

this paper series is my latest full edition of available original artwork, this time on paper.
still playing with the thought of realising it although one time on canvas, but i kinda like the contrast of raw and brutal fatcap spraycan strokes on a fragil and sensibel media like paper.

Somewhere in between post graffiti and street art, i would consider it urban art. those satellites are a further abstraction of my small “a”. yes that crazy turned arround dildoish looking microphone, is a Letter/logo. some of the paper original are in hongkong and shenzhen still available, some of them are still in London. After my show at the biennale in Shenzhen ive followed an invite by infamous london street artist pure evil, who teamed up with Robin Banksy`s ex Wingman “Eine” (himself a true london innercity vandal legend) to put down a major show of the contempoary Uk street/urban art who is who. thanks for flying me in charly.
