On Saturday 7th of August the “XX CREW Solo show” took place with an awesome opening show. There was approximately 250 people there to join in the event. Lots of people for the little village city of Lahr, in the black forrest.
This was the second show for our crew. The first show was in essen, not long ago.

But this time the location was much better. The “Kesselhaus” is an old brick building with lots of character.
It was owened by the Reemtsma group, the producers of the german brand “Rothändle” one of the worst cigarettes… perhaps a reason why the business shut down.

It’s in a giant room with a 10-15 meter tall ceilings. Even the space downstairs is huge and made perfectly for working.
“rich” one of the crew members, know has his studio space there.

It took a week straight of hard work to prepare, do and finish paintings, drawings and a life sized german train wagon outside, with a 1:1 scale!
We finished the train just in time, which is now 26 meters long and 4 meters high.
Approximately 2 tonnes of weight and a two story scaffolding made the DB-N-Wagon.

in addition to my teaser pics you have a photostream of the german newspaper “Badische Zeitung”

For those who want to know more about our crew, go to xxcrew.com and check out the links of the members.

The Exhibition is up till the 29th of August. At 14:00 (same date/closing show) we will have a live wholecarpainting, on the Train outside. Hope seeing you there.

XX crew: TheErolGuys, Happypill, Johannes Mundinger, Pio Rahner, Rich, Slurg, Volker#1, Wos

The XX crew is a collaboration of 8 illustrators, photographers, designers and graffiti artists.
The element that bounds us together has its roots in Graffiti, which is how the crew came to be formed 7 years ago. All of us love to create, arrange and rearrange public spaces.

The XX installs subtle illustrations, raw stickers or handmade streetsigns.

At the “Banditen wie wir” the crew is showcasing an insight of their work.
Cause all members are living all through out germany, its really hard to get them all together.
This is going to be the first show with all the members.
The visitors can expect a wide range of graphics, graffiti, illustration, pictures, paper and designtoys.

If you´re near there, or if youre visiting germany at this time, join us!

This is a very special round, cause instead of 2 there are 4 fighters in the ring,
fighting for the the beauty “Paperfight Championship Belt”.

Illustrated by Zerolabour and/or 3eyedbear

For this big event i created a fighter called “Mammoth”. He is a russian underground agent,
trained in Moskow to accomplish dark and shady questioning, short: A rude guy for all kinds of violent jobs.

And here´s the Mammoth teaser:
“A giant, trained as a russian underground agent.
He loves to get answers from enemies by torturing them.
His reputation “eats your spine for breakfast” does have a real reference, back in 1999.”

And now go to www.paperfightclub.blogspot.com to follow that awesome paperaction
and give your vote for the fighters!!!
