Poppe, Kaate, Danze! Dat kannste Liebelein! Rock`n`roll op Kölsch vum SEAK quasi.

Nach einer Auftragsanfrage des Troisdorfer Gastronoms Miguel Barreto, gabs es die Möglichkeit ganz was Feines zum Thema Rock`n`Roll Lifestyle auf die Wand zu zaubern.

Ein von SEAK entwickeltes Auftragsgraffiti für die “Rockbar”. Das neue Bar Projekt im Rheinsiegkreis für Metall Fans, Rocker, Biker, 1%er, Emos, Waver, und Rock Enthusiasten ussem Leve.

Das spontane Motto entstand beim Dosen und Farben zusammenstellen in SEAK`s Huerther Atelier, frei nach dem “Brings” Klassiker.

Denn Schriftzug “Poppe, Kaate, Danze” kann man auch aus einem wunderbaren Totenwinkel zum Dj und der Bar lesen. Hey das ist eine Rockbar! Mal abgesehen ist davon ist diese Innenraum Gestaltung mit noch diversen andern Dreideutigkeiten vollgepackt. Das Thema Totenköpfe/Skullz, und gesprayte Tattoo Skullz werde ich wohl in Zukunft bei Sprühaufträgen noch öfter anschneiden. Noch ein Danke Schön an  Manuel der mich während meines Rolltor Auftrags bei Hulk Biofood angesprochen hatte, und mich weiter empfahl.

Vielen Dank auch an Vic Hugo für die genialen Photos.

Ive you are a fan of double meanings, the meta level, and interpretating urban slang (ebonics), code language, or just have a cocaine past/ are in the phase of quitting the pleasures of good fine polvo you will love this painting of me.

The devils hand provides the 8ball ( 1/8 ounce of cocaine)

In case you wanna dance with the devil: in germany the bumpheads and partypeople use codes like:

gutes gut= Good), yeyo, eyo, cola, kaffee, kommt kerstin,  gute freunde (good friends).

Play at your own Risk!! The Bank always Rules. So ive you wanna fire up your endorphine and dopamin Tanks and Spenders, there are much more less devlish anchors in the world, like sport, sex, dancing, etc. Enjoy!

“poppe, kaate, danze” is a Rhineland slang version of: Fucking arround/ playing & doodleing with cards, and dancing. Playing with cards in this context is ment although playing with creditcards.

guitars, microphones, spraycans, vinyls,……… the structure which follows is mostly the same.

first playing and training humble in your garage, and then comes the fame, and then come all those seductive  things which truely challenges you.

The horns of the devil. “dat kannste”… means “you can do it”. the devil is cuckolding your karma and Mojo  in mid and longterms. Btw absolutely no more Perico/blow/bamba/bota/coke how ever you wanna call it for me on this continent. I switched back to Espresso

The best which can happen when youre living a Skidrow Nightlife:

- Ace with a red Heart: You will find the Love of your Life.

- 3 Stones/Rocks in your Hand: a adrenaline loaded comunicative Happyend,

- the grey cards is your average optional standard pull.

I Just say know! RocknRoll out of yourself: Been there done that and got (did) a T-Shirt.

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,….

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…….

Kurz vor meiner Einladung zur Biennale nach Shenzhen, und dem davorliegenden Festival in Mexico, ging es nach Karlsruhe zu einem befreundeten Sammler nach Karlsruhe.

Ich war eingeladen in einem kleinen exklusiven Kreis, ihm noch unbekannte Arbeiten zu präsentieren.

Um meinen Flieger nach Guadalajara nicht zu verpassen, liess mich dann für den Weg zurück nach Köln zu einer nächtlichen Taxifahrt überreden.

this one here was a spontainous aswell as exclusive invite from a collector to Karlsruhe in the south of germany. showing selection of newer canvases of my 30×30 Series, before they got shipped to China for the biennale, and i had to go to Mexico for a Show.
He arranged a nice intim private rvsp opening for him and a small circle.
Sometimes i just love that vandal stigmata.

quasi von lebender Legende zu lebender Legende.
zu Gast beim König des International DJ Jetset.
Ich war quasi indirekt das Geburtstagsgeschenk für Timo von einem Guten Freund, und habe gleiche neue Freunde kennen gelernt. Auetal, 2007 represent. Timo rock on!!!

It feels good to be a Birthday Present, this Time for the infamous Timo Maas and his Family on his Estate near Hannover/Auetal.
Timo is topranking the International Dj Jetset with House collegs like Sven Väth, Carl Cox, and Paul van Dyk since ever.
While i was Gun slinging the spraycans, and doing my lines, Skin from Skunk Anansie was keeping it real and kicking some live Vocals. great Party, great People.
