HOLY MOLY.

We wish you all a merry merry christmas and a good time! See you next year!!!

THEY WERE JUST ROLLIN' ...

and we had an absolutely unique evening: More than three hours Mr. Dylan played his most inspiring set in front of a wonderful crowd in a wonderful venue. Still not enough he was accompanied by his brilliantly picking old buddy Mark Knopfler ...

Wow, what more can you ask for ;-)

MATO'S B-DAY GREETINGS:

¡Te deseo toda la felicidad en este día especial!

¡Salud! J.&N.

BIG SHOUTS FROM GOTHAM CITY ;o)

INSERT COIN! ...

... and witness a time warp through a true gamer's history!

The »computerspielmuseum« in Berlin exhibits anything and everything from the most classic arcade games to every single gaming console that was ever released! For well spent 8€s you may gather vast inspiration on iconic design or you can gamble all through a rainy afternoon!

Enjoy!

THE HATCH KINGDOM BERLIN

While we missed Oliver (as he was off to the customs to get new stuff from overseas) the last time – this past weekend we finally met up. Besides we had a really nice chat he shows us around in his fully bombed 80 sq. ft. which are the »world's first sticker museum«!

With great efforts and loads of enthusiasm Oliver compiled the largest collection ever! Moreover he also runs an online shop which is an endless resource for stickers, ranging from classic skate decals to works from international street-artist: http://hatchkingdom.com/

So, if you're ever in town just do drop by his place or buy stickers online in order to donate and to support this unique idea!

FAIRYTALE

Sometimes I do believe in miracles and fairytales.

FREUDE AM MALEN

Ok, smearing a die-cast model with ordinary spray paint is probably not art yet ;0)

But as I'm neither Andy Warhol or Jeff Koons or Olafur Elliason nor did I receive a multi-million dollar assignment by BMW that's not the point!

No, the BMW Art Car Project goes far beyond this and to me every car is a true piece of art! Moreover, the idea of upgrading a brand's image by adding a twist of art is best-in-class marketing and therefore quite striking too!

So even if you're not into Beamers you should find some very inspiring insights here: http://www.bmw-art-cars.de/

Enjoy,

THREE YEARS

Time goes by so fast… this blog turns three today. To celebrate, I've picked four pictures thinking of each one of us. Wish you all (including AGDO) a wonderful life!!

IT'S SURREAL!

Apparently no one really has a clue what should happen to the old »real« supermarket at Feldstraße which went bust a long time ago!? Well, at least a bunch of street artists seem to have loads of fun ...

ALOHA OE!

»AS LITTLE DESIGN AS POSSIBLE«

Right now, there's a new book about Dieter Rams on the selves which is just awesome!

Without question this is a must buy item for me but rather everyone dealing with design should at least risk a peek, flicking through the epic works of a true genius!

DENMARK: WINTER-WONDERLAND!

While we have summer already still photos from January need to be sorted out: Well, visiting Denmark when it's snowy can be as peaceful as raging but either way it's damn fun!

BACK FROM THE DEAD!

Due to too many reasons we've be silent for almost a year by now! However, we still like the idea on contributing our share from time to time!

So a pic from re-united House Of Pain should be a good one to say: we're back from the dead ...

(The gig was quite alright but you probably didn't miss much if you haven't been there.

Still we learned about the fashion brand »Hell Fire« by Danny Boy and this stuff is sleek!)

Entries to come will be right in between retrospective and daily business. Truly the »same as it ever was ...« but with a little twist, may be ;-)

So hang on and check back soon ...
