Jan Švankmajer

long time ago i stumbled upon JAN ŠVANKMAJER´s  Version of ALICE and it scared and attracted me at the same time… today i rediscovered his work and i´m overwhelmed again!

The Czech filmmaker and surrealist is a nonpareil artist (born 4 September 1934 in Prague) and his great influence to other well-known artists is undeniable – such as TIM BURTON and TERRY GILLIAM (WIKIPEDIA say-so).

The American Grotesque

let me introduce you to the miraculous and marvellous world of astonishment – DIANE ARBUS.
I “met” her in a sleepless night last week in a thrilling movie called FUR- AN IMAGINARY PORTRAIT OF DIANE ARBUS and now her intense Photographs won´t get out of my head!

Showtime Cover

unglücklicherweise bin ich viel zu spät DIESES wundervolle Konzept anzupreisen, denn der TOUR-AUFTAKT inklusive KONZERTBEGLEITENDER AUSSTELLUNGEN sind leider schon vorüber – richtig toll soll das gewesen sein >>CLICK !!
Die gestalteten Cover von 350 Künstlern sind aber grossartigerweise noch in GALERIE zu bewundern, mein Artwork HIER…und AMOS Musik sowieso!

Teen Dream

Der Name der Band inklusive Albumtitel hätte mich niemals ahnen lassen dass diese Geschichte das Potential hat  mich auf so melancholische und wundervolle Art und Weise durch den Herbst zu hauchen.

Spy My Munich Map

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!!!

Go Outside

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!

T-t-t-tip on the Tightrope

okok, nun ist es Zeit Ihnen eine der wundervollsten Damen überhaupt vorzustellen…
Lady and Gents, treten Sie näher, setzen Sie sich und schauen Sie ganz genau hin! Ist Sie nicht zauberhaft, diese Ms. Monae!?
Ihre Stimme, ihre Erscheinung und diese Energie, welche sich in jedem Ton und durch jede Bewegung aufs Neue zu steigern scheint. Ich kann nicht weggucken, mir kaum einen Wimpernschlag verzeihen…
