Great Balls of Fire


You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane
You broke my will
But what a thrill
Goodness gracious great balls of fire!

I laughed at love cause I thought it was funny
but you came along and moooooved me honey
I've changed my mind
This love is fine
Goodness gracious great balls of fire!

Kiss me baby
Mmmm feels good
Hold me baby
Welll I want to love you like a lover should
You're fine, so kind
Got to tell this world that you're mine mine mine mine

I chew my nails and I twiddle my thumbs
I'm real nervous but it sure is fun
C'mon baby, you drive me crazy
Goodness gracious great balls of fire!

Linocut - The Winning Oldsmobile



In recent weeks I've tried to print some of my illustrations with linoleum. Currently I can only make hand prints because I lack a suitable etching press yet. These are two- and three-color prints so I cut different lino-plates. I am not happy with the accuracy of fit and think I could improve this with a better printing table. The Illustration was made at the PC by Illustrator, then I printed it mirrored and transfered it to the linoleum plate. The next step is to cut the non-printing parts and this for the different colors. The "Winning Oldsmobile" were printed onto DIN A4 paper, the plates are DIN A5.

20.000 visits in 9 month


That's a real pleasure for me and I would thank all visitors for their interest and their time reading my little blog. More than 20000 visits for the last 9 month! Otherwise, blame on me that I was the last weeks a little bit not so present as earlier this year. Life stinks sometimes and so I am not different than others when shit happen. But enough from that.

It is not only what we see, it's the idea behind.

More Illustrations

Following the new illustrations and linocuts, I made this V8 illu.The Chevy V8 Hot Rod is a redraw, next step I will cut and print them. As you will see, these are orginally drawn as vector grafics, so I can use them for T-Shirts. I must re-draw this V8 motif, because I deleted (or loose) the original file...
