This week I was able to quickly finish the illustration for the upcoming aniversary album of "Die Tornados". Here it is as an preview. Once I receive a copy of the final product I will take pics and post in the portfolio.

‘Kayso, why doesn't he update his website more regularly you might ask, here's why:

My girlfriend and mother of my child (as of August) was kind enough to agree to marry me, so we did just that while on a trip to NYC for 10 days. And that actually kept me busy quite a bit.

In addition to that I was of course working on some art stuff, namely various posters, banners, logos for the “Rock’n’Roll Wrestling Bash” (as usual) that has really gained some momentum and is getting big. Also the next “Summer Safari” is due and I created some illustrations for flyers and posters for these guys. I had to update the flyers and posters for your monthly record-hop “Shake it Wild” and I created a poster for a community-fair here in Mannheim called “Max-Joseph-Strassen-Fest”. Pictures of all of that stuff will be added to the portfolio as soon as I can take decent pictures!

Currently I’m working on a record cover for Ska-Surf Combo ”the Tornados” as well as drafts for “the Spermbirds” upcoming Album and Single. There will probably be a show of some black and white drawings of mine at the Blau in Mannheim in June, so I’ll have to plan that too. Also I’m kind of busy with getting ready for the kid and going to a bunch of festivals and concerts this summer.

So bare with me for not updating more often.

Wow, it's been a month already since the last "Shake It Wild" Party we hosted at the Blau in Mannheim. And also since the last update here. I'm not much of a blogger I think.

Anyways. This time the motto is: Shake it Wild in Space! I've been working on the outfit for almost the whole month now. It's a surprise, so I will post pics after the event.

Until then, here's the Poster:

I haven't updated this page and blog for quite some time now, but I've been extremly busy finishing various flyer and poster versions for the Rock'n'Roll Wrestling Bash and the Summer Safari. I will upload pictures of these once the promoters send some over.

Another "project" of sorts that myself and my buddies "Saschberto del Mongo" and "Little Jimmy Bond" have been working on is our monthly Record Hop at the local Pub "Blau" in Mannheim. We will spin the wildest mix of 60s Garage, Beat, R&B, Northern Soul and Rockabilly (of course!) and try to give this city some kind of a schedule for Rock'n'Roll.

Yesterday night there was a feature on the Rock'n'Roll Wrestling Bash on German Television Channel ARTE. You can watch a replay of the feature on the website and see what all that trash-wrestling-fuzz is all about!

They even show the poster I created for that show!
