Spontaneously, I decided to create a Flatstock Europe Poster! The illustration is done and the files are prepared. My fellow Antighost Christian is printing a Flatstock Europe Poster as well, mine is the can of sardines one on the right and his is the paper-boat on the left on the picture above. We’ll start printing tonight and...Continue Reading
I know, it has been rather quiet in the past few weeks. I’ve been on vacation and it just was way too hot to spend too much time either screenprinting or in front of the mac updating blogs and websites. Sorry for that. But fear not, those slacking days are over now as summer is coming...Continue Reading
Oh boy, that was awesome! The Rhein-Neckar Delta Quads played the Rollergirls of the Apocalypse form Kaiserslautern in their 2. homebout and almost won (I think in the end it was only 20 points difference). That was a great success for that young team against a seasoned league like the RGA! Congratulations! As last time we...Continue Reading
I started working on a new Rollerderby Poster for the Rhein-Neckar Delta Quads vs. The Rollergirls of the Apocalypse (RGA) from Kaiserslautern. The interesting part is that I had to screenprint a very fine halftone here. It turned out that this was not really a problem. After about 10 prints the color clogged the screen, but that might be due...Continue Reading
Finally I managed to start printing this poster! I hope it will be finished just in time for the arrival of the amazing Northern Soul group The Inciters from California! Two of four colors are done, white and ADIDAS blue on light-blue 300g paper. Here’s some work in progress pics. More to come! Continue Reading
I’m working on this little poster for my DJ Night Shake it Wild in August, where we will have the Cheating Hearts as live-band. I’m planning on creating a series with these. The first one was the devil-poster I created for the Dani Dorchin / Shake it Wild in June.Continue Reading
I’ve been taking the time this weekend to work on this little illustration for a gigposter for my DJ Team Shake it Wild’s next shinding. We are very pleased that the amazing blues one-man-band Dani Dorchin from Israel will play as well. The design is based on an old Kellogg’s packaging I really liked. I...Continue Reading

I’m working on another gig poster for the Maifeld Derby Festival. The fabulous Love A are playing there and since I was working very successfully with their label rookie records in the past, getting in touch with the band was easy and successful. For this poster I deviated a little from my usual process and...Continue Reading
Saturday night I started printing my gig poster for Funk Legend Macoe Parker’s show at the Karlstorbahnhof in Heidelberg. I finished colors the first color around 22:00 and was planning to print the second color and then call it a day, when fellow Antighost Martin asked when the concert was. My answer was: „sometime end...Continue Reading
Here are 2 illustrations I’m working on. The teenwolf one is a personal project because I of course want to ride the Star Wars Wave as well, hahaha. The second one is for a festival here in Mannheim. Both are work in progress. Let’s see.Continue Reading
After a short excursion into the world of rollerderby posters and art prints I’m working on a new gigposter again. I’s for my DJ-Team Shake it Wild and I had the films for this print lying around in the studio for some years now. The reason for not printing it earlier was, that the copy shop...Continue Reading
When packing our prints for the stall at the rollerderby bout last weekend, we noticed that we don’t really have a proper way to move a bunch of prints. Yeah, we have cardboard-folders and stuff, but it became a chaotic mess pretty soon. So yesterday I decided to build a flightcase. The box is finished...Continue Reading
Yesterday was Game Day! The Delta Quads (The local Rollerderby Team that we Sponsor with Antighost) took on their opponent the Smashing Sailorettes from Kiel in their first Bundesliga Game for the Season.

While I was on vacation, my fellow Antighosts Christian and Martin were hosting a Kunstpause. A Kunstpause, what’s that you are asking? The Kunstpause is a monthly event by the Artgenossen, the supporters of the Kunsthalle Mannheim. Since we thought that you have to experience screenprinting first hand in order to be able to truly...Continue Reading
This Saturday we had the Opening Reception for our exhibition GOD SAVE HELVETICA at the NORD bar in Mannheim. The night was a great success I’d say. We don’t know for sure, but I think we had over 100 people there at times, great music by my DJ-Buddy the Untamed Saschberto (Shake it Wild) and...Continue Reading
Some time ago we bought some professional UV-lamps to burn screens. The problem was, that we needed to find a way to fix them to the ceiling, so we postponed using them from week to week. Today we finally went to work and already burned some test-screens. Burn-time went down from 12 minutes to about 1...Continue Reading
We were offered to show our GOD SAVE HELVETICA prints at the NORD bar in Mannheim on short notice. Being the well organized art superstars that we are, we seized the opportunity and went right to work, hanging the prints at this stylish location. We are planning a belated opening reception for the 21st of March, more...Continue Reading
Although I have a terrible cold I went to the studio this morning to finish my gigposter for my friends of the Surfband Apachomatic. After some initial problems with our fucked-up screens, I’m quite happy with the result. I’m also happy that I almost met my self-imposed goal of „one print per month“, missing it by...Continue Reading
Here’s a little preview of what I’m working at at the moment. Some of you might know that the Antighost Studio is supporting our local Rollerderby League the Rhein-Neckar Delta Quads with many of their design needs. In addition to that my wife is an active player, so Derby is a topic at casa Götzilla. Brace yourselves for...Continue Reading
There’s a new Ghost on the block! The fabulous Martin Burkhardt is now a member of Antighost. Martin is not only a great guy, but is also an amazing illustrator and court sketch artist.

The Rhein-Neckar Delta Quads, my wife’s Roller-Derby team, asked me to design their derby-uniforms as they are planning to really kick it off this year. I just finished the designs for various Jerseys, T-Shirts, Leggings and am very excited and curious on how the uniforms will turn out once printed. I’ll certainly post some images once...Continue Reading
Yesterday I finished the Loaded secret show. Looks very cool (I think). I will post proper photos as soon as the show is announced, right now I can’t show the date and venue information. The poster will be available at the show and after that in my shop of course!Continue Reading
Listening to „The Streets“ thinking about the design for an upcoming gigposter (not for the Streets though) and musing about brutalist architecture lead to this. Now the pen is empty, so off to bed! Good Night!Continue Reading
Christian just found a short clip about the Nachtwandel by a local station. We also had something to say, somwhere in the middle and towards the end.Continue Reading
Printing the final color of my Soulbusch posters was a great way to spend the last afternoon in 2014.

Hope you like this one,...Continue Reading
