E.A.R - Another opening night
16.3.12
Ive known Günther and Raphael for the better part of 3 years now. They are a pair of unbelievable pop-smiths and super nice guys. Unfortunately I dont see them that often. A part from E.A.R Mr Günther K. Harder has a blooming career as an actor at the theater in Leipzig and Raphael is busy with his music producing empire, but when I get the chance to hang with these cats it is a blast.
I shot this live-session at Raphael's studio here in Berlin. It is a super cosy little place, but unfortunately my home build camera was suffering a bit under the low-light-conditions hence the somewhat grainy pictures. But somehow it doesn't really matter because of the song. Günther's amazing vocals and Raphael's beautiful minimalistic guitar really pulls it all together...
I hope the video brings out the vibe of the day - and that you'll enjoy it just as much as I did.

Caught by the Urban Hunter
7.3.12
My dear friend, artist and photographer David Josef Tamargo honored me this morning by hanging my portrait in his online gallery. It is taken during my last stay with him and Lindsay Scoggins in LA while we set up for the Party Animals exhibition last summer at the Royal/T - after a good night out as I remember..
The picture is taken in the lobby of the Culver City Hotel where we stayed during the week. It is an old fashioned piece of Hollywood history that place.
I found this paragraph in an article on the Guardian which sums it up pretty well...
"During filming, Judy Garland and Wizard of Oz producer Mervyn Le Roy commented on "dwarf sex parties" and "orgies and drunkenness" among the munchkin actors. Well, what else were they supposed to do? The small people, billeted separately from the other performers, were under de facto house arrest in their Culver City hotel. They were taken from there directly on to the studio set, and then taken straight back. The actors have since claimed, in accounts of that period and biographies, to have been paid far less than the other actors, even less than the dog playing Toto."

I found this footage just laying around from the Intel Visual life video. I actually thinks that it captures my everyday life way better than the original video...
The Sesh - al Hamra
23.2.12
These cats are pure gold and my every-Sunday-family. Meet Robert Lee Fardoe, Dirch Feistel (ma and pa) and the rest of the boys and girls of the sunken treasure chest we call Al Hamra. This clip is from last winter featuring us playing ourselves warm, smoking waterpipes and hanging out in the middle of just another Sunday night.
If you happen to be in the area dont be shy. Drop in and play a tune with us...

Admerica Infomercial...
20.1.12
Over Christmas I finished up a small company presentation / infomercial for Admerica... My initial plan was to make a time travel from the 1920'es to the 1980'es american graphics. I actually liked my original idea a lot and was a bit disappointed that the client shot it down. But we agreed on staying in the 1960'es poppy style...
Unfortunately I never received the final speak (only a temp track), so the timing of the animation is somewhat off - and Im not too happy with the intro. The 1920es Art Deco intro had way more character and a way better flow in the animation. But the client was happy and that is what counts.
Heres a bunch of inspirationals, slates and scribbles I did for the Project - And of course the final thing:
