Back in Germany, I thought to bring a bit COLORCLOUDS into the grey. The rain caught me today – so I had to stop. More soon!

FUTURE TAXI
March
11
Got this concept with me for a while – but finally took the time to visualize it a little more detailed. More or less it is a public transport cable car Taxi for the more privileged society. Anyway, sooner or later I hope I can share a bit more of the time and story where this vehicle actually belongs too.
After the previous 962_LeMans sketch/rendering/illustration or whatever you want to categorize such – painting (as I prefer to call it) into – I felt I got a style I would like to start the Taxi visualisation. Something between a rough quick sketch and a clean studio set up. The main thing I added here was the play with depth of field, to set focus on elements that I wanted to read more. Quite handy thing as I could reduce the areas I had to paint – or even tend to overdue it( aka “paint it to death”). The best thing it saved a little time – so I could go out have a break and get some nice coffee :)
So this is what came out. Still a few corners I am not that happy with – but I guess thats a good sign! Think I will get back to that a little later.
I posted some larger images HERE in the ARCHIVE so you get a better impression also how loose it actually still is.
ARTIST SERIES _ FULL COLOR
February
24
You might have heard of the FULL COLOR / Artist Series of limited Art-Print T-Shirts from recent posts by now. Here a little more detail …
The Idea,
due to the silk-screen printing technique which is the most classic way to print a design on a T-Shirt – there are a few techniques that bring other benefits. Silk-screen prints allow very juicy prints, but finally limit the colors of your design. I actually like to work with such given boundaries - as it influences the design process. BUT, as I always prefer to move on and try new things, the FULL COLOR line was born. The benefit of this line is that there finally is no limit to the use of color. Prints blend in directly with the textile, that means your skin can breath trough out the print.
The first design,
is done together with my buddy Patrick Faulwetter. – Since our studies at the Pforzheim University, located on the north end of the Black Forest, he is based in sunny Los Angeles. Patrick is currently well know by his impressive plan-air studies he showcases on his BLOG .
One of these on location studies, of a Porsche 962, is creating the fundament of the first FULL COLOR T-Shirt design release. Patrick is an respected concept designer for the entertainment industry, while having his roots in car design.
Thanks to such things as Skype we could lately stay in transcontinental contact within a daily basis and make this first release P/962 available in a LIMITED-EDITION of only 35pcs, nicely wrapped and boxed.
Make this first print a success for Patrick – and there will be at least two more worth to collect within this series!

Trying to make a decision on the lacing system and finalizing several details all around the sneaker. Sculpting the basic volume was not the problem, getting everything together now – is a real time killa!

few details below – so you see how rough this actually is.
Trying to recover from a little flue – NOT BEING IN THE MOUNTAINS – AHHHH! Sketching with the tablet is quite different, but that`s all the couch allows ;)
( What a nice daily drive this could be on the Isar-Highway towards Schwabing_ parking in the glass cube, starting a creative day, with the view towards such a UFO – “LIVING THE DREAM!” )

Inspired by the Hover-Board from - BACK TO THE FUTURE .
I´ve questioned myself – WHERE IS MY FUTURE !
HERE you can see a little sequence out of the movie B2TF II – HOVER-BOARD in action.
Below is what I came up with – regarding that the future has still not arrived and I can`t wait for antigravity to finally come ;)
My version of THE FUTURE IS NOW ( TF/IN ) as it is still ” FUTURE LOADING… ” !
You can find more images within the ARCHIV via this link FUTURE LOADING.
If you are interested in purchasing it - there are currently 2/3pcs available within the STORE.
16″ Custom for TOYKIO
February
14
Selim from TOYKIO had invited me to Düsseldorf a couple weeks ago to custom a 16″ Qee.
Actually my first Custom ( skin-design ) I have done so far. My concept was to melt the color-code of THEvsYOU with the polygon look of the new CHARGED to one DNA. After a sleepless night – spider webbing the design on to the figure, I felt quite happy with the result.
SOLD.
