Paintings, photography, aesthetic objects, beautiful communication, and anything I consider to be art, artful, artistic, artsy or whatever.
Art is subjective. It is a quality of communication can be contributed to by the viewer through empathy or agreement with its creator.

HANDS OF SILVER

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Since the 60s I have been enchanted by Manitas de Plata (Fingers of Silver).  He is the finest, most authentic Gypsy Flamenco guitar player who ever lived.  He was the progenitor of  The Gypsy Kings, together with the singer who performed with him most of his life, Jose Reyes.  This is a full-length (remastered) concert by Manitas de Plata, with Jose Reyes (and others) from 1975.  The first solo performance by Manitas de Plata in this concert begins at 10:00.  It is “Por el Camino de Ronda“.

BOWLING HEADS

13th Street – Bowlingheads

We designed special bowling balls together with famous spraygun artist Oliver Paass that look like cut-off heads. For more than three weeks he made detailed 360° layouts that were sprayed on standard bowling balls. In several German bowling alleys we swapped the standard balls for these special ones.  CHECK OUT THE VIDEO:  13th Street – Bowlingheads.
