Life After painting the Thalys  (deutscher Text hier drunter)

Well, life goes on, have to get myself some good photos of it in traffic. Our Wholetrain will run at least 5 month in the system between Paris, Cologne (Köln), Brussels and Amsterdam. I am happy about any email with photos of it in traffic. Same goes for press articles and TV material, etc.

I think i am getting addicted to facebook comments and website hits these days. J niicce!!!

Anyway, so life goes on: Walls, Canvases, Outside, Inside, Exihibitions, Shows, travels, Projects, more Walls, more canvases, and Art Stunts like the Thalys gig every now and then, doing murals, receiving visitors, painting together, painting, painting.

For the upcoming week i will paint the Outside of the Rose Club. ( Nirwana, Bad Religion, and Mc Rene used to play there Back in the Days.)

So in case you are in town, I’m there. When i am finished with the Rose Club, there are already 2 more projects here in Cologne. One big one, a scuffoldingfor at least a week or two, and after this one a private house downtown.

I will keep you updated here and on facebook/twitter.

Peace and piece

SEAK

Ps: like i promised before, i will update the Thalys train Blog articles with proper

Soooo, die Thalys Aktion gut verdaut?!? Macht euch bereit für eine Überraschung, das Leben geht weiter.

Unser Thalys Wholetrain wird wohl mindestens 5 Monate im Streckennetz zwischen Paris, Köln, Brüssel und Amsterdam auf der Schiene sein. Falls ihr ihn unterwegs mal vor die Linse bekommt, ich freue mich über jedes Bild. Das Selbe gilt für Zeitungsartikel, TV Mitschnitte, usw., immer her damit.

ach ja und so gehts weiter nach dem ganzen Hype:

Leinwände, Wände, drinnen, draussen, oben, unten, Austellungen, Projekte, noch mehr Stunts  á la Thalys, immer noch selber einkaufen gehen, noch mehr Wände, noch mehr Leinwände. That’s whats up.

Die kommende Woche bin ich wohl hauptsächlich an der Fassade am Rose Club aktiv. Über Besuch freu ich mich. Wenn ich mit dem Projekt am Rose Club fertig bin geht es im Kölner Westen aufs Gerüst für 1-2 Wochen……

Peace and Piece

SEAK

ps: Zur Thalys Aktion update ich die Blog-Artikel hier unten wie versprochen in den nächsten Tagen, Statement, was mir so durch den Kopf ging, was drum herum passiert ist, etc.

SEAK representing Cologne/germany

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.
