Paintings

A small selection of my work from over the years.

Although there are hundreds of paintings here, this is only a few compared to what I produce.

I tried my best to keep some kind of order here, the most recent works (uploaded) appear first.

Unfortunately, the date of upload is not always close to the date of completion.

Enjoy!



Below are some more paintings and drawings in a relatively similar order.

Love!



The blog post before this one displays some of my murals.

As always, busy with other things, sorry for delays :) but they all worth it - 1 love!

Galápagos! A magical place!

I've traveled a lot of places on this earth & seen a lot of things. But none was as special as the highlands on Santa Cruz, a beautiful Galápagos island where I stayed out the end of 2013.

What a beautiful planet this earth is when left to herself. A truly magical place of wonder and awe. The pure land still exists, although it's far away from the beaten paths most traveled down.

Come with me & we'll find more places together!

November's plans.

Galapagos skreet-art, i love you

I'll be back in Quito next month, but don't think I'll be able to stay for long.

I plan to head off into the jungle unless some amazing painting opportunity or desert shaman calls me first. I plan to go as deep as I can in search of a master trying to make up my own lesson.

Yeah, so hopefully that's a smooth phase transition. And you? What're your plans?

I've recently discovered that - indeed - Ecuador does have some of the best colours this world has to offer.

Unfortunately, some people don't understand that nature's greens are beautifully healing and that replacing them with bricks and cement and combustion engines is but an evil fever-dream from past nightmares of mad men.

Well, open up a new dream for them if you can, and if you can't, learn and grow.

Little hug, big hug, little hug, little kiss, big kiss.

Right now at this #moment #galapagos #graffiti #sexy #streetart #style #ecuador #love

Galapagos Magic!

Hello there. 

I'm currently on the Galápagos isles. 
I mostly live on a magic turtle farm in the highlands of Santa Cruz.

I'm not kidding.

Internet's a bit slow here, so you probably won't hear from me till 2014 :)


I can post stuff on Instagram & will try to upload some of my art there.

Check it out!

 
What else is new, you ask?
My Raccoon-Cats are comin' to a store near you.
I have books & various toys that are being made in China.
Also, not kidding. 

Wish I could say more, but I'm busy doin stuff :)

Check some of it out here!

Peace!
Love!
Enjoy!

Headed back to nature... gotta hit up a portal first...

In Search of the Tree of Knowledge

I like how nature reminds of what once was and of what will be. I guess that as far as we can see with our two eyes, the most desirable of habitable planets must look pretty similar to our own, just look at the orchids in the rainforest and let your imagination expand from that point.

I hope to bring some element of the natural world into my art. But does that mean I'm creating a division between humanity and the rest of everything (nature)?

No, I suppose just between the insane, self-destructive culture that seems to dominate the world and, therefore, the minds of each of my fellow Mann (of the German Mesch or "Mann" = human), and my own mind.

And since, visually I'm unable to capture what a camera seems to so easily accomplish, maybe I can hit up a feeling that's more positive than negative.

Well, whatever keeps your fear of the Great Abyss that awaits us at bay.

Videos

Some of the many videos I have made over the years.
This one is 2008-9, I made them for myself, and I still like it, I still like them all.

It's on the side of some old German pump housing I found in Berlin.
Imagine carrying such a huge & heavy thing by bike through the capital.
It took many days of painting in my bathroom, thousands of images,
and eventually my legs and back gave out. Why would anyone do that?
What was I looking for if anything at all? Where did the idea come from?


Below that video is a short clip of a portrait I did for a friend's album cover.
I then affixed the original painting on the street in Berlin near my house.
