Hi, i love to show you my latest work for a munich-based magazine, called SPY.
I illustrated a map, with a lot of nice places in it, to explore the city at it´s best!
And what a nostalgic coincidence- during the realization i moved from munich to berlin, although i know every tiny corner in munich´s geography from now on because i had to (with a mediculous precision) insert  all the street names in every borough. extremly cool to be a walking navi….hm… but indeed a bit to late!!!

I love this Picture made by Anna Ådén. I found it today on Clemens Blog.

And I promise, you will feel a warm sun-reflection on your skin, when you hear this great song from the Cults at the same time!

Amazing work by Alexandre Dubosc for the 50th anniversary of the Annecy International Animated Film Festival.

VIA // WHAT THE COOL

i cleaned up my photo library and my sd-cards and found these old pictures. i looked at the date, checked my old, battered calendar from 2007 and detected that this shot happend in Worms or Alzey during my work as a sales-rep. back in the days.
It´s nice to find such a souvenir 3 years later!

WHAT YOU HEAR (my personal Soundtrack during this trip 2007) : SHE WANTS REVENGE // OUT OF CONTROL

this is my desk. ok ok only a little part of the things which are on my desk.
essentially i like to show you the floral- ink drawing. it was a great “schöneberger” flea market- find and this great card with amazing  colours- drawn by Wesley Willis (May 31, 1963 – August 21, 2003). i love his work so much!

Wikipedia knows it better:

“Wesley Lawrence Willis was a busker, musician, comedian and artist from Chicago. A diagnosed chronic schizophrenic, he gained a sizable cult following in the 1990s after releasing several hundred songs of simple but unique music, with emphasis on his humorous, bizarre, and frequently obscene lyrics. In addition to his large body of solo musical work, Willis fronted the punk rock band the Wesley Willis Fiasco. He also produced hundreds of unusual colored ink-pen drawings, most of them of the Chicago skyline and CTA buses.”

Besides the fact, he sang about all the things i like e.g. McDonalds, Batman i´m not really into his music…guess why?!

Back!!!
Jetzt, angekommen in Berlin. Kopf reist noch nach.

Berlin, Berlin, Du bist ein heißes Pflaster
wer Dich nicht kennt, verbrüht sich leicht den Fuß
Wo die Moral wohnt, wohnt auch gleich das Laster
und der Verriß blüht neben süßem Schmus
Berlin, Berlin, hier lebt der Mensch gefährlich
und rutscht er aus, dann dreht sich keiner um
Doch haut er hin, dann ist er der Beifall ehrlich
- Berlin, Berlin, Du bist mein Publikum

Berlin, Berlin, wenn Deine Blumen sprießen
da draußen, in der Laubenkolonie
sieht man Dich steh´n und fleißig sie begießen
das Rosmarin und auch den Sellerie
Fühlt Mutter ihre Lebenszeit verfließen
im Testament wird schnell noch angebracht
Vergeßt mir nur nicht, Vatern zu begießen
- Das ist Berlin, wie’s weint und wie es lacht
- das ist Berlin, wie’s weint und wie es lacht

he wasn´t a soft and pink with a fat little tummy;
he was a hard and hollow, a little boy mummy.

“tell us,  please, doctor, the reason or cause,
why our bundle of joy is just a bundle of gauze.”

“my diagnosis,” he said, “for the better or worse,
is that your son is the result of an old pharaoh´s curse.”

(…)

It was late in the day—just before dark.
Mummy boy took his dog for a walk in the park.

The park was empty except for a squirrel,
and a birthday party of an mexican girl.

the boys and girls had started to play,
but noticed that thing that looked like papier mâché .

“Look, it´s like a pinata,” said one of the boys,
“lets crack it wide open and get candy and toys.”

they took a baseball bat and whacked open his head.
Mummy boy fell to the ground; he finally was dead.

Inside of his head were no candy or prizes,
just a few stray beetles of various sizes.

MORNING PASSAGES

There is an amazing music festival which takes place in the UK. why haven´t i ever heard of it? thats pretty sad because the line-up sounds insanely great.
The Festival ALL TOMORROW´S PARTIES is named after  THE VELVET UNDERGROUND song and was founded in 1999. The documentary about the concerts is now available on DVD and the trailer looks really promising!

WE LOVE YOU SO

what a cold and white winter day in berlin. we made a trip through the woods in WUHLHEIDE and had a great time with LUIS trudging through the snow. it was like a wild walk on an empty planet!

The Winter Song // AU REVOIR SIMONE

oh I’m still living
/ at the old address /
and I’m waiting on the weather
/ that i know will pass
/ i know that its true-its gonna be a good year
/ outta the darkness-and into the fire
/ ill tell ya i love ya
/ and my hearts in the strangest place
thats how it started
/ and thats how it ends

/ and i know your with me
/ its a point of pride
/ and its louder then lighting /
in this room of mine

hello you lovely people, hope you enjoyed the quiet christmas days like you deserve it! now i have a bad cold and after some days at home with my lovely family (eating the whole day) i´m lying in bed hearing CHARLES DICKENS i´ve just made my favourite dish from my childhood and delicious stewed apples  to recover! wish you a wonderful week…

i like to show you that great box of treasures. it´s the whole collection of all the printing blocks my grandparents and my parents used for catalogues, booklets, flyer and advertising for their own company. A lot of material of a half-century! it was such an exciting moment to unpack the carton. Besides old bills, notes and illustrations i found a cliché with an image of my grandparents- i think it was used for an anniversary issue…The two looked amazingly charming, right?

Oh and have a look at this nice campaign called HOME from MARTIN DE THURA (he also directed the amazing FEVER RAY´s “WHEN I GROW UP” and the Film YOUNG MAN FALLING)
