The RAL-Galaxia™ and their life forms were discovered by aerosol scientist BASE23™ two and a half years ago after doing research in the laboratories for about 17,5 years in the aerosol universe. Since then the color machines and animals have landed on planet earth to make our daily environment more colorful. You can find them in the streets, abandoned areas and hall of fames around our globe.

Ferien auf dem Bauerhof | Holiday on the farm

2009-08-26T13:13:00.000-07:00

Actually i went with my girl on vacation to the baltic sea in Poland. 5 days of summer with a beautiful beach, sun all day, bicycling and a farm where i could paint. For sure i had some cans in my backpack just in case :) Here are some expressions of my recent trip.

Black Forest, 2Pac and Freiburg

2009-07-30T07:55:00.000-07:00

On my recent trip i went to the Schwarzwald area (Black Forest) that means mountains, south germany and good beer :) On one day i went to Freiburg to meet DUST whom i never met in person before (crazy internet shit :) and do a wall with him. The sun was burning like hell again!

AHA! I guess the funniest train station i saw in my life!

For sure! Shout outs to gangster bitch Susi!

Copenhagen Roskilde Mayhem

2009-07-15T10:38:00.000-07:00

Had a great time with master of disaster MEK One and lots of other writers in Copenhagen and Roskilde 2 weeks ago. First stop Copenhagen/Sydhavn one of the greatest hall of fames i painted at. We met GEBES (DK), DOES (NL) and CHAS (NL) for a big production. The weather was awesome and once again i got sunburned as hell.

After we finished the wall we went to Roskilde where the situation was like that:
The festival opens on thursday but 10000 people broke down the fences on saturday to get a good camping place and to "start" the festival. In short there was complete anarchy on the camping places because there was not much secruity at that moment. The autobahn and streets around the festival area was full of people carrying their stuff (tents and beer) with shopping carts and trolleys. Never have seen something like this in my whole life...
After some beers and walking around in the favellas (camping place) we started painting the next day.

It was impossible to get the whole wall on one photo! i painted a 50mtr production (alongside Nutroe, Mek, Enuff, Chucky, Nike, Bone and a lot of other writers which names i can`t remember) and next to us where around 100mtr to paint and many many more walls. I think the day we started where 35 writers painting...

Making of "Climate Demon"

Final

Canvas i did for the Graff-Exhibition at Roskilde

Totally wrecked we went off to Copenhagen on tuesday to chill. We stayed at Nørrebro area and this was passing by...

Pretty hard to get crossed on a train... maybe a good reason to leave the city!?

Finally after 8 hours i was back in Berlin on wednesday and was wrecked the next 3 days... If you like to see more what happened in Roskilde check here
Thanks and skøl to all people i met in these five days of fun! Special thanks to TIWS for the support!

After some stupid assholes went over my piece with Förtress at Cassiopeia, it was time to do a new production with my mate BONE from Denmark. I guess this one will not last long because the "hall of fame situation" in Berlin is really fucked up right now.

Auf der Reeperbahn nachts um halb eins...

2009-05-04T05:22:00.000-07:00

On my last trip i went to Hamburg to visit my mates Förtress and Mek to party and paint. Another reason was the opening of the Smash 137 exhibition at Vicious Gallery. Really cool show and a lot of great artwork (drop by if you are around!) After the exhibition the evening is history and we went home at around 6 in the morning.
The sunday was kind of ruined but we managed to paint (still wait for the photo FORTRESS!). After some beer and pizza it was time to chill and get ready for monday to start the production with Murfy. Somehow crazy Murfy decided to paint the 4x16mtr huge wall. We painted like machines for about 12 hours and i was completely wrecked... Murfy finished the mural last weekend... THANKS Dr. Ayran!, thanks to "Hotel Vomit" aka Mr. Ress and "Prost!" to all the people i met at this crazy weekend.
