lots and lots of things have happened while I was away ...

this video (link below) sums it up a bit:



TRESPASS - the (short) movie.

and: thanks, Elaine

before my account runs out end of may, I'd like to share some newer works with you (well. apparently with very few of you .

the reason I signed up a couple of years ago was for the unique photography and modelling I found here, which inspired many works I did in the past. so these last works are, again, not just an important part of my body of work, but also a tribute to the girls on the site.

it is only a few images now, but there've been many more in the past. some of them are here in my photos, many others have found their way into collectors homes, international exhibitions or got inked onto human skin.

I may be back some day, but right now I doubt it. if you are interested, I'd be happy to add you as a friend on facebook; communication and community is much better on that platform. somehow the makers of this site seem to have lost track of the community aspect over time.

this is not meant to be a complaint or just plain bitching, I still like SG a lot and the original idea behind it, so keep up the good work, keep getting naked and stay beautiful.

More next week when I am opening my new exhibition at the heliumcowboy's in Hamburg ...

is what I'm doing at the moment.
I know it's fun

Arrived in Hamburg city last week to prepare my shows here in sept and oct, and when I met with my gallerist I discovered fresh ink on his arm: Another drawing of mine worked into his skin by Zsolt Machat, amazing work - exactly like my drawing. Didn't know it would be started on already.



the arm starts to look really good, with this one covering shoulder to elbow and the new one coneccting to it ... (the tentacles):

other than that: life is good, working hard for the hamburg shows, currently looking to make some time for a few shootings while I am here in germany after the exhibition, and searching for local collaborators for some activities planned for the 3 shows.

If you know people in the area that are fun and a tiny little bit crazy and love art - direct them to me. through here or through my facebook account.

love&peace
alex

first things first: if you are keen to know what I am up to as an artist, become a friend at facebook. I'd be honoured. follow this link:

funny: both the gallery I'll be showing with and the publisher producing my next book choose a similar artwork by me for the invitation flyer / book cover. must be something special with those pictures ...





show opens october 17 at heliumcowboy artspace, hamburg, germany

book pre-release party at Urban Outfitters Hamburg, sept 30th

gotta book my travel now.

after finishing the massive series for the book early july, I've done some travelling for a month and completed a few pretty detailed b/w drawings on paper to be inked onto skin. they may or may not be colored, but I think that is always a pretty individual decision ... lately there has been many more requests in my work for tattoo designs... which I see as a huge appreciation of my work, I feel very honoured!

it's something completely different to the usual exhibitions at galleries and art shows I am doing, and maybe one day I can invite all the people carrying my drawings for life to do a show with them - no frames or canvases, just beautifully tattoed bodies running around ... ah well, nice dream.

this one will make a whole back:



and his one actually will pretty shortly be on someones back (the top 2 tentacles still need to be finished to go in the right place (crawling over the neck a bit):



... and this is the back it's gonna go onto:



a shoulder, also to be inked pretty shortly:



an inner forearm (the tentacles wrapping nicely around the arm top/sideways and ending in the palm of the hand at the bottom (the one that is cut off right now):



btw it will be the new forearm of the guy with the strong shoulders above (who by the way already carries this one, it will go below this one and the tentacles will be connected at the bottom of this one



and then this one:



which may go on a hip (after some changes) like this:

just finished the last images for the book and delivered them to the publisher. happy, but dead tired of a lot of things. now going away to travel and take refuge in paradise. seriously needed.
