Summer 1993
In the summer following the contest I had a good time travelling around a bit and painting a lot. I think I never painted as much as I did in that time. I was still a teenager and it felt just right. Life seemed easy for a while.
I went to Munich with a friend and I was invited to paint in Dresden, where I went with my new friends from Hamburg.
From there we moved straight forward to Itzehoe, where a big graffiti happening took place at a huge industrial area that was permitted to be painted everywhere. This area then became the biggest Hall of Fame in northern Germany for more than a decade before it was torn down finally.
And I went to Hamburg lots...
Freak 1990
This is one of my first pieces. I did it together with my best friend at school times. Another friend of us wanted his room painted and he chose the word "Freak"...
TSW Hit 1991
I did this piece at the main entrance of my school in 1991 together with Salomon aka Scez aka Keno (who died in 2004) and another guy who painted just for a short time. I made the "TSW" and the "Hit" while Salomon made the characters and the "1991". The other guy did a helper job I think.
TSW 1990
Probably the first "TSW" ("The Style Warriors") I painted -
in my school, summer 1990.
Spirit
This is a piece I did in summer 1996. I was working with an arts class from a school for adults together with a friend. This work is still standing and it became one of my best-known pieces since it is very close to the main station in Bremen and thousands and thousands of people pass by it every day.
Down at the left and right corner you see the letters K and M. I was experimenting in doing it without outlines, plus you can see how the rays of my spirit or mind cut through these letters of my name, transcending my identity in the physical plane. An alternative title at that time would have been Dhyana.
Someone obviously thought it needed some orange on the eyebrows - I´m not convinced, though...
