Hi folks,

As some of you know, i do other stuff than slurgs too, most of it doesn´t show up on that blog, simply because it is dedicated to my beloved slurgs, but this one needs to be here.

I finished my Diplome as an illustrator last year in November by building 2 papertoys, which i think fit in here, even if they have no trunks (…yet)
For the Diplome i have managed to build a robot, and a small figure which work togehter in a team.

LEVIN (inherited word from „Lewin“ „Liebwin“ und „Lieven“ means “lieber freund/good friend”)

PROKOPIUS (from the greek worg “prokop” which means “fortschreiten/progression”)

The Process sometimes looks a bit crazy, but im living in organized chaos, that seems to be my world.

Also another big part of the task, was an introduction book, which gave me sleepless nights and
grazed elbows.
The book is made of cardboard cover, all the templates are included, and the introduction is printed on transparent paper.



The Project was fun, and quite a challenge in some parts.
Im looking forward to start animating them, which will be the next step.

Nick Knite just sent me a picture made in Cologne on Saturday, where both of my characters were part of a mini exhibition surrounded by a huge amount of his great work. The show was held by Timo “das Mo” to promote Paper and designer toys, for the Dingfabrik.

First of all, ***a happy new year*** to all of you all over the world!
I appreciate that you come back every so often to read and comment my blog.

So, whats new?
There is, again much going on this Year. I have tons of custom toys i want to release this year, including the andoid, the mate by artist “Das Mo”, a quee bunny and the Boombox by artist Jasin Dollin.
I also want to release a designer toy which i created together with Timo “Das Mo” in the end of November 2011.

Furthermore there will be definitely one show this Year.
The show takes place in Port Perry (Ontario) October 2012. it´s gonna be a collaboration-show called “Under your bed” with my friend Andres Musta.

I am looking forward to all the things to master, and keep you updated on all the upcoming news.

Oh, before i forget to post that, last time i told you about the Skateboardschool i was invited as a guest artist.
I accomplished a collaboration board with one of the students “Kid Squid”.
It is a Slurg/Tentakel-arm-worm-Battle and came out really nice.
I enjoyd doing that board and am looking forward to the second collaboration.

They photographed some of our paste ups in Frankfurts streets. What a nice morning surprise.

From now on, sorry German friends, my blog will only appear in english language.
In this case its easier for me, to write and post more frequently. Not because i dont like you anymore, but because i have to type anything twice. And I am not the big writer anyway.

So, as the most of you already now, i made my way to Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
That is finally what i mean, when you hear me saying “home” now.

The time started out to be a really good one. I met lots of nice people and put myself to work by starting a new custom.

I met Craig Morrison who is the teacher of the “#1 on the Toronto Star’s “Coolest Schools” List
(March 17, 2011)”, The Oasis Skateboard Factory.
He invited me out to his first class for the start of the semester. Craig basically teaches them streetart and board design and wanted me to show his sudents some of my slurgs, and talk a bit. More pics after the click

To the end of the semester, i will do a collaboration with one of the students on a skateboard.
If i get the chance i will make a board myselfand to paint, display, ride or sell.

And not to forgett, we started preparing the Stickershow on Monday and continuing tomorrow at the Baitshop for the Nuitblanche which takes place from saturday oct.1, 2011 till sunrise oct 2nd, 2011.

Everyone is invited to come by and take a look at the largest sticker collection Worldwide (i suppose).
Seriously, I have never seen such a huge amount of unique stickers everywhere else.
Stickers and pasteups from all over the World are on display.
You can draw or bring your own sticker and put it up on the wall or share with the stickers existing.

Its gonna be huge, and im happy to be a part of that.

Enough for now, you shall hear from me more often in the next time. I will keep you posted.
And see you at the Nuitblanche, hopefully!
