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!!!

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?!

WHAT YOU HEAR: ROCK N ROLL MCDONALDS // WESLEY WILLIS

WHAT YOU NEED: THE BOOK North Lake Shore Drive // VIA GREAT  NIEVES, CH

WHAT YOU SEE:  2. INSPIRATION LAB // 3. ? // VIDEO :WESLEY WILLIS SHORT DOCUMENTARY

my lovelies, i see your still here despite the fact i´m not a reliable writer- this makes me glad and really happy!
life- during the past few month was really turbulent and thrilling and hardly a day goes by without a novelty.
I hope all things will turn out well and the good things will be even better!
here is my song of the day – jaaa, i now, it´s the millionth time i blog something about these girls- don´t take it amiss, enjoy!

WHAT YOU SEE // Bâstard Foetus Hérédité

WHAT YOU HEAR // Cocorosie : Lemonade (download mp3)

PLAY: Albert Hammond, Jr. // Cartoon Music for Superheroes

…is my song of the day! i love the music from this extraordinary BAND for a long time now (maybe it´s because i´m always in love with a catchy HAMMOND- ORGAN tune).
plus, i found this stunning picture on CULT STATUS this morning…have a look at one of my favourite blogs to get inspired!

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

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)

es schon eine weile her, als ich das erste mal ein lied von NINA SIMONE hörte und ich mich sofort verliebte in den klang und die anmutung in ihrer stimme.  als mir heute ihr album wieder in die finger gefallen ist und ich von ihren live-auftritten auf youtube nicht mehr los kam erinnerte ich mich wieder an ihr einzigartiges und elegantes auftreten und die stärke die sie ausstrahlt. ganz besonders sehenswerte MITSCHNITTE sind 1976 auf dem MONTREUX JAZZ FESTIVAL entstanden. bei meiner suche habe ich grossartiges RIDLEY SCOTT´s CHANEL No.5 COMMERCIAL gefunden für welches MY BABY JUST CARES FOR ME benutzt und 1980- ganze 30jahre nach aufnahme,  zu einem welthit wurde!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE
this is such an amazing work…every sequence is handpainted from frame to frame to create this perfect stop-motion movement!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, again and again…

we went out
we got wasted
you went home
and turkey basted
