FMCS: Please tell us a little bit about yourself and your work.

Well! I was always addicted to put me up somewhere…anywhere! I started drawing Comic style at the age of 15. I think I got a good eye for any shape! Never got into colour before I discovered graffiti!

The spray can is definitely the best medium to put fresh colour in your work! I am a fast painter so I got sick of mixing the right paint together before I start rocking! It is really like rock or even faster! The addiction to graffiti didn’t just make me faster it even developed my style! Painting freestyle without any sketch got easier quickly.

Also my sickness developed heaps! I get free in my head and just go sick in my mind with ideas about dead bodies and just go for it on the wall or on paper!

Often I really need to chill my head down cause it feels like an explosion I can’t express so fast!

FMCS: Where do you live and work?

Actually I live in Austria 7th District of Vienna City “some crazy shit”… LOL! But I used to live in the Countryside. I call it the green hell of Austria! That’s enough information!

FMCS: How come your interest in design and graffiti especially?

I think I am a watcher and that took heaps of my time of life! Sometimes I ask myself…”What the hell did you do in the past years?” I know now! I have been watching my environment and just burned it in my retina!

Graffiti is just the natural artistic development I had to take! It’s my bushido!

FMCS: What motivates you?

It’s the same story with the burned retina! I think any good graphic design, artwork or even commercials need to flash at the first sight! I wanna get burned of good and sick stuff! My eye just searches for it! It’s like another form of addiction!

When I have seen comics or grafix which were going to flash me but after a while I was going:” damn, I can do this better! Or if I find something what is just too good to be real I feel like…”Fuck, I definitely need to get better!” And I think that is a big part of Style development! It all starts in your head! And this motivates me heaps!

FMCS: What is your latest project about?

After one year I just finished the work on my t-shirt label called ‘RABBIT EYE MOVEMENT!’ To organize this was more work than any piece….LOL!

After this it’s time to spray-paint again! The next project is maybe the biggest thing what ever got painted in Austria!!! I am very exited about it! See More…

FMCS: What are the artistic intentions within your work?

In the last 15 months I decided to work out for some significant symbol which kicks my style further and gives it all a message! It is like a whole concept for all most of artworks I do!

So I started to do the white rabbit of death and built my whole t-shirt label on this character! The character stands for brutal sweetness! LOL… and everyone does recognize the rabbit from movies like ‘Alice in Wonderland’ ! I just set him free of the fucked up screen world which brain fucks and tries to control our minds! Like walking dead, zombies…Whatever! Ha-ha! Love it! Dead meat but sweet!!

FMCS: How about past exhibitions? And is there any exhibition coming up?

It is always very funny to run around as a rabbit talking funny bullshit to girls or other cunts trying to understand your work! The most just see the drawing style, but they won’t understand what stands behind it! Poor sheeps following our system!

There is always an exhibition coming up! LOL!

FMCS: How is the graffiti scene in Austria coming along?

The scene here is pretty small, but growing. We got a Graffiti taskforce! Cops just working to get us! Austria is small so writers change their names almost every year.

We are out there to make the city nice and we should work together against the system!
But most Austrians don’t get this and that’s why many get busted.

FMCS: What is your source of inspiration?

Many things! Mostly what I have seen years ago and just can’t get out of my head! The white rabbit is such a Symbol! He always shows up in movies and stories! While watching “Watership Down” as a kid of age seven, I first saw the rabbit.

Later images out of ‘Alice in Wonderland’, ‘The Matrix’, ‘Fight Club”, “Donnie Darko” and many more influenced my work.

But it’s not just all about the rabbit! I am a big fan of Japanese graphics following into Austrian Modern style. Stuff like Kolomoser, Hoffmann, Otto Wagner,Schiele,Klimt (Wiener Werkstätte)

FMCS: What keeps you busy besides work?

Hmm! Girls maybe! LOL… Joking! Nothing really! My art eats all my time and my love! No time for some sort of relationship!

I am working on a film script at the moment. But it is also about the story behind the rabbit and me as artist! It is also a part of being an Artist! It is not all about Graffiti! Doing other stuff as well is essential.
