3AM takeover

This is so far the only wall nearly all 3AM members (only Post and the americans Pove and Ink76 were absend) got together and pushed out some big production with totally different styles per member. They got down on the occasion of my 20th anniversary as a writing artist in 2007. It was Pars, Nar78, Norm (writing "Sner"), Keos, me, Motel one and Bond

 

Winter´s breaking in

When I started this piece a week ago, the temperature was about 17-18°C. I did the background and the fillin/outlines of the first style and left to finish it later the week. As I came back yesterday to add a character and the secound style, temperature had fallen nearly 20° to -5°C. So I decided to put the character in some warmer clothes ;-)

A little something in between

  

DJ Kobex - Electro Funk

  ©Kae
 

A comissioned work for a mixtape called "Electro Funk - Old School Energizer" produced by DJ Kobex from Hamburg which (like the title says) features the sound of pure electro funk. The cover should convey the aesthetics of a classic blackbook sketch. 

You can check out the mix here.

  

You can´t lubricate away a king

Two posts ago I showed a character belonging to a 10 to 3 meter wall that got killed by some crossing attack freshly after I finished it and before I was able to take any photo of mine:

I didn´t let it get me down, grabbed my paint last weekend and reconstructed my former wall quite similar, only with other background colors:

Art Under Construction

Two weeks ago there was an event in Frankfort at the new construction of the European Central Bank skyscraper. They put up some wood panels at the hoarding around the area to let paint about 30 writers there. This was my contribution

 

Crossers are pigs who belong to the slaughterhouse

Last resisting part of a burner wall of me. It got crossed out the same day I finished it with some undefinable garbage before I was able to get a photo of the finished piece. Note the secoundline that had been put around the character by this motherfucker likely to mock me

Styles vs. Characters

My part of this production at a graffiti jam 2008 in Kassel together with the TPL crew and other mostly Hamburg based writers:

The wall was named "styles vs. characters" and featured a bunch of figures on the right side trying to roll over an army of styles on the left prepared to fight back...

Black in black

I did this one about half a year ago in a Thuringia city called Gera. It´s located near the city of Jena where you can find the famous hall of fame consisting of some old DR ("Deutsche Reichsbahn") trashtrains, which I´m expecting to visit and paint somehow in the future...

Excuses for the bad photo quality, but the lighting at the place wasn´t that good to take constantly outlighted pictures for a perfect collage...

Writing documentary "Unlike U"

Not long ago you could read and hear of a dispute between the makers of the trainwriting documentary "Unlike U" and the Berlin Transport Company (BVG) on the publication of this film. The transport department wanted to get a court order that the film which could probably glorify trainwriting and inspire followers can not be sold any longer.  

To forestall a restraining order and to continue to keep the film visible for those who are interested, it´s put fully online on the page "unlike-u.com" as a free stream. Good pieces, actions and interviews ... Look here

If you are interested in further details of the famous New York subway system where trainwriting started in the early 70´s, you can check the official Metropolitan Transit Authority site. There you will find informations and pics about history, car types, stations, maps etc... And there is a section about the yards, the ultimate second home of any ambitioned graffiti writer here.

Another good site with impressions of yards mostly from Germany but also international (for example a NYC page, too) over here...
 

For those who like the old Big Apple subwaywriting

Some time ago I found a very nice Flickr page by a user named himself "Zomboider". He uploaded tons of New York trainpics from the good old days of subway graffiti there. Unfortunately it seems that he dropped a lot of this stuff again once, but still it´s a nice view on about 200 painted trains. Enjoy here.

My man Dustin Schenk aka. The Motel/ 3AM did some huge and nice work in the German capital...

Here are some words about himself and this project...

A happy, peaceful and healthy 2012 with lot of luck and lot of colour!
