I love to work with wood and power tools such as table/band saw. The brass divot tool was hand-made and then casted. But golf is what I love the most.

This is a stack of 1362 soda can tips. There are tags on every 20 and a vertically placed tip on every 100. These are all collected by me from 1998 (I was 14) until 2008. A friend of mine told me in junior high school that if I gathered 1000 of these tips and take them to any large hospitals, they would buy these for about $400-450 because apparently these aluminum tips were used for manufacturing wheelchairs. That sounded like a huge lump of money, so I started to collect them. I thought it would take a little less than a year but instead it ended up taking 9 years to reach 1362 and at that moment when I decided to stop, collecting tips had become a habbit. Interestingly enough, I decided not to cash it because somehow the time that I have spent is worth much than that amount. The intrinsic value has changed and meant more than that lump of money.

I love and hate the zoo. How natural does this look?

Die Illustration "Mean Cloud" ist ein Versuch, die Düsterkeit des Lebens einzufangen, inspiriert durch die oft sehr regnerischen Herbst- und Wintermonate des deutschen Nordens. In dieser Zeit ist man, wie in emotional schwierigen Lebensabschnitten, meist deprimiert und fühlt sich von Hoffnung verlassen. Es ist ein gewisses Selbstmitleid in der Mimik der Wolke zu erkennen, dies soll die selbstzerstörerische Natur der Gleichgültigkeit vermitteln. Die weichen Formen signifizieren die Endlosigkeit, das Gefühl, dass schlechte Zeiten kein Ende nehmen, sondern ein Ende gegeben werden müssen.Die Regentropfen verkörpern das unumgehbare Leid, dass wir in Form von Tränen von uns geben müssen um zur Wirklichkeit zurückzukehren. Der Blitz ist genauso ein offensichtlicher Teil eines Unwetters, wie wahlose Wut ein offensichtlicher Teil von Unzufriedenheit ist, beschreibend dafür, dass sie jeden treffen und böse verletzen kann.

I was contacted by London Symphony Orchestra for an illustration of Claude Debussy. It was for a concert program series of three concerts in late January and early February in 2012 with Michael Tilson Thomas centred on Debussy works.
