This building belongs to the oldest ice-factories in Germany and has been producing artificial ice for more than 100 years. A company called Norddeutschen Eiswerke started using the building in 1893 and after having survived two world-wars the building is now abandoned since 1995. Right now the ice-factory is one of the most interesting abandoned places in Berlin. The homeless and gypsies living there loved the cat!

Within the last four years at Stroke, almost 100,000 visitors came to see artists and galleries from all over the world. Urban Art is now! In fact the huge variety of subcultural dynamics of the last 30 years in this melting pot is self-replicating. Terms such as “Low Brow”, “Illustration”, “Street Art”, “Graffiti”, “Graphic Design” or “Comic Art” are fused with classic notions of art as well as unconventional resources and are newly interpreted in a fresh, innovative and mostly postmodern context. This is art for the 21st century. The fair was open from June the 3rd till the 6th at the  Alte Münze in Berlin.

After my trip to NY I went to Berlin to paint some more murals. The last one I painted was at a very special place called Teufelsberg. An old spy station in the middle of the forest fully covered with graffiti and a beautiful view on Berlin.

So I went to NEW YORK for 2 weeks. During my stay there I painted several murals in The Bronx, Brooklyn and Manhattan with some old legends!
