The Walking Dead / comic & tv series

Yesterday i enjoyed the next episode of the new tv series "The Walking Dead". Been a big fan of the original comic books by Robert Kirkman & Tony Moore. Still a great read. The trailer for the tv series made my mouth water then. The series just started to be broadcasted in the US. It may take awhile untill it will be shown in Germany (also the gory film shots may cause delays or clipping). But thank goodness for my super magical powers i am already able to watch the episodes every week... hope this keeps me being scared!

See in & on the streets of Milano...

Bat the buFFmonster

I got my little bat fellow sent back from the Giant Robot Gallery&Store in Los Angeles. It was part of the "The Monster Within" exhibtion showing customized Buffmonster's vinyl toys. I had to pick up my bat toy from the German costums. They gave us harder times than Bin Laden will ever get at the US border check...

My friends from FauxAmi / The Skateboard Museum Stuttgart represented at the BLOOOM Art Show in Cologne/DE. Together with works from Stefan Marx, Jeremy Fish and Andy Howell.

Going Postal / Book

Martha Cooper kindly sent me a copy of her great book "Going Postal" ( ISBN: 078-0-9799666-5-1) about photos of customized postal stickers spotted in the streets. We came along this topic when i asked her to customize one of my silkscreened postal stickers after finishing a fine meal with all the nice peolpe from Meeting-Of-Styles in Venice/Italy. It is a project i've been running now since more than 6 years. Asking friends and artists i met to finish my Teddy Trooper's silhouette in their own styles and ideas. I guess i will do a fanzine of my collection one day soon in the future when i have run out of stickers then...

The Underbelly Project / NYC

This is huge!

From the NYTIMES…

A vast new exhibition space opened in New York City this summer, with a show 18 months in the making. On view are works by 103 street artists from around the world, mostly big murals painted directly onto the gallery’s walls.

It is one of the largest shows of such pieces ever mounted in one place, and many of the contributors are significant figures in both the street-art world and the commercial trade that now revolves around it. Its debut might have been expected to draw critics, art dealers and auction-house representatives, not to mention hordes of young fans. But none of them were invited.
In the weeks since, almost no one has seen the show. The gallery, whose existence has been a closely guarded secret, closed on the same night it opened.

Known to its creators and participating artists as the Underbelly Project, the space, where all the show’s artworks remain, defies every norm of the gallery scene. Collectors can’t buy the art. The public can’t see it. And the only people with a chance of stumbling across it are the urban explorers who prowl the city’s hidden infrastructure or employees of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

That’s because the exhibition has been mounted, illegally, in a long-abandoned subway station. The dank, cavernous hall feels a lot farther than it actually is from the bright white rooms of Chelsea’s gallery district. Which is more or less the point: This is an art exhibition that goes to extremes to avoid being part of the art world, and even the world in general.
