Große Pläne! Wenn ein cooles mittelgroßes Festival wie das Maifeld Derby in Antighost-Stadt stattfindet wittern wir natürlich sofort Lunte und schmieden große Pläne. Da das letztjährige Maifeld Derby für uns super lief, wollten wir dieses Jahr eine Schippe drauf legen und eine große Poster Show im Flatstock Stil aufziehen. Leider machten uns die Festival-Götter einen Strich...Continue Reading
Leider habe ich vollkommen vergessen beim Drucken Fotos von den einzelnen Farben zu machen. Sowas dummes. Hier sind dafür ein paar Detail und Close-Ups. Ich habe das ganze in Beige, Rot, Schwarz und Gelb. Sieht cool aus!Continue Reading
Ich arbeite gerade an einem neuen Siebdruck Gigposter for die großartige 2-Mann-bzw-Frau-Trash-Rock’n’Roll-Combo The Cheating Hearts aus Sankt Pauli, Hamburg. Normalerweise kann mich der Frühe Vogel mal hinten rum heben und ich mache meine Gigposter erst super knapp vor einer Show fertig, manchmal leider auch erst nach der Show was wirklich doof ist. Dieses Jahr soll sich...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

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.

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

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
