Canvas
Working on canvas is simply a pleasure at all times...
My favorite surface asides from walls and hard to reach metallic surfaces has always been canvas.
What I love most about this medium is the longevity. And it has been "THE" artists`medium for centuries.
I love doing works with mixed media, as there I am using everything I can get my hands on.
The range of materials goes from chalk, markers, inks, acrylics, oil, airbrush-colors, spraypaint, pencil and and and...
I actually love mixing them up with paste-ups, mash-ups with other materials in a collage-manner and love that there is no limit to what you can do...
The ugly and distressing world seems miles away once I am in my studio, turn on some music and loose my self in my work.

Rettet Mich!
"Rettet Mich" means "Save me" in german.
It stands for the constant struggle and activism of a few great people who are trying to preserve our nature. The Bee is THE essential part of it.
If the bees die - so will we. It is nescessary to protect our enviroment for coming generations. Therefore I got involved with my american friends trying to protect the bees on a day-to-day mode: Working to save and keep them alive - Bee Catcher!
BeeCasso - Live Bee Removal by Steve Downs is doing a great job removing and protecting bees in southern California USA.
My good friend Steve is a professional Beecatcher and self-taught painter in one. Please visit his homepage, support his cause and stay tuned for his upcoming projects.
This bee-artwork was a donation for his 2016 "BeeCasso Save the Bees Art Event" in Pasadena California, USA.
