When are you the most productive?
Mostly when i am stressed out and in panic because of a deadline, appointment or the ?deadline? in my head. Mostly in the evening and at night!
Where is your favourite vacation-spot?
A: I like travelling to big cities. Looking for cool shops/galleries, where to buy cans, meeting people at halls of fame where i have never been before and watching daily life on my way. I have been to Hong Kong, New York, Barcelona, London, Paris, Stockholm, Amsterdam, Copenhagen... and it was pure fun. B: On the other hand i like having breakfast on the beach, hanging around in a park, being lazy, reading, swimming in a lake, drawing, sleeping in a tent/car. C: Finally a mixture of both is perfect!
What kind of music do you like?
I am kind of old fashioned and listen to independent rock a lot, loud guitars, 60`s garage rock, 70`s/early 80`s punk rock, stoner rock, 90`s drum`n`bass and hip hop, dancehall/reggae, soul/funk, jazz... it just depends on the mood i am in and what friends recommend.
Any exhibitions planned this year?
I am part of the "AK-47 Papermodel Project" group exhibition in Hong Kong (Fall 2008), New York (tba) and Berlin (tba). This is what i am working on right now. In november there is the "Graffiti Geezers Gala" in Berlin with some ?old? graffiti writers showing (post-)graffiti stuff or whatever you call it.
What is your favourite material to work on?
Concrete, cardboard, paper and sometimes canvas; it just depends on what i am going to do. I like to build things and try to learn more about modeling.
What are your tools? (special pens, colors etc.)
Brain (sometimes), imagination, humor, hands, spray cans (belton), ultra skinny caps, fat caps, cheap chinese brushes, acrylic colors, czech fineliners, ball pen,...
