THE LADIES ARE HERE...
DO IT! (Not just. But consciously!)
Albumartwork for Kahler´s Vinyl-release of their 3rd album "Do it", released in fall 2017.
Them being friends of mine since many years, i have been on many concerts they did and always found their shows being full of joy and purity...which, in the process of making the first sketches, almost immediately linked my thoughts to the work of Rick Griffin. So i decided to quote his "Heart and Torch" design for the frontcover, both because this image is constantly on my mind (as an archaic entity, most likely) and the fit for Kahler´s above mentioned attitude.
Do it (not just), but consciously! An act of love, if you will...

COR´s "Leitkultur"
Posterartwork for Rügen(GER) Punk/Harcore-band COR´s 2017 album "Leitkultur" (Rügencore Records).
The drawing is based on Friedemann Hinz´s lyrical concept, that puts the search and the fight for peace at the centre of our culture. Especially in these days, when neo-conservative polemics conjuring up a "Leitkultur" in the sense of backward patriotism are poisoning people´s minds, this is a simple but strong statement. Peace among people is what has to be our main goal. Peace is the only "Leitkultur". It is the one culture we need to live.
COR´s music always has a positive approach, still it is loud and aggressive - as it is rooted in punkrock and metal - which is why i wanted to keep the whole artwork rough both in execution and coloring, and the image of the shaman not clean and enlightened but bruised and battered. Yet there he stands, dreaming, meditating, fighting for what he believes in. As do COR on this album.
The words are a quotation from the song "Leitkultur".

Some impressions from the exhibition at the Into the Wood - Festival 2017. I showed some of the last screenprints, some road drawings and some of the ink paintings i did early this year.
The happening took place at the top of mount Cippo in Marche, Italy, imagine a place for conjuring spirits, making friends and charging your spirit. All the best to the crew around Simone Antonelli, this festival is destined to grow!
