SEAK: Painting the Thalys @ Gare du Nord Station, Paris
almost 14.000 visitors here on my website on one day, and 8000 on my flickr account. nice.
The Worldpress was there. I will get a full press coverage beginning of 2010 of the whole project.
The people of Thalys and there partner agencys in germany, france, belgium and the netherlands where fun to work with. Thanks although to Boris Breuer for these great Photos here. Aswell as Big Thank you to SIlvia, Andre, Bjoern which came with me to Paris for support.
I combined the letters of my artist name “Seak” with the my birth and hometown “Köln” (cologne).
Using the offical colours of cologne (red and white and a bit of blackand orange) aswell a few local visuall traditions and heritage like the 11 blacks flames represent the 11 virgins which rescued cologne in very early medieval times from the huns, the three crowns, the top parts of the “Kölner Dom” (cathedral), etc, etc, etc…
The fact that ive painted the bar waggon makes perfectly sense with the party, carnival and highlife image cologne has in the world.

I fucking love how serious the all watch and look on this pic´s. feels like being in Vietnam during the Ted Offensive.
Putting the establishment the horns on, or maybe the Graffiti movement, and then what is graffiti and street art. Just a thinking channel, defined by others. feel free to research this website to feel my interpretation.
