1000MODS - Live from Melodka in Brno, Czech Republic.

in 2026

Stitched and stapled, 1000MODS - Live from Melodka in Brno, Czech Republic. After diving into the sweat pool of loud and heavy, my last official move was to put an A2 roll on stage and draw the hell out of the riffs and music, while beer and liquids dripped down and pencil tips broke in the sound waves. Surfing the high, crunching low, and all the…

Popfest 2026 - Day 3, Bull Nakano at Prechtl-Saal, Karlsplatz Wien

in 2026

Bull Nakano Moshpit Edition. The pain is still present. Bruises on legs. Bruises on arm. Oh, such a stampede, Bull Nakano is roaring, crashing, bucking, crushing, and we are all into it. Elbows smashing while drawing the Popfest Rodeo, bodies pushing, sweat and beer mixing into a slippery alchemy soup on the floor that resurrects those who fall. Hardcore magick potion. Someone lost his glasses. The…

Popfest 2026 Day 3, Shake Stew on Seebühne, Karlsplatz Wien

in 2026

On the third day of Popfest 2026, Shake Stew took over the Seebühne stage with jazz and tunes that made me tipsy in their flow of notes and nuances, and so also the crowd, whose collection of smiles and grins grew bigger and bigger the longer the band was rolling. I sat, hopped, and drew the view of the front row - its the people bathing…

Popfest 2026 - Day 2, Alles Exhausted at Prechtl-Saal, Karlsplatz Wien

in 2026

Popfest 2026 - 3 Days, 6 Live Drawings: Day 2, Alles Exhausted took over the sound and the room was either giving all energy or it happened the other way round. In the epicenter of shaking shoes and heads moving, the pencils did their dance along independently. Front row, stage thrill and some exhaustion only because day 2 of Popfest was setting in. It is a…

Popfest 2026 - Day 2, Vereter & Die Woarmen Semmeln at Prechtl-Saal, Karlsplatz Wien

in 2026

On the second day of Popfest 2026, Vereter & Die Woarmen Semmeln playing their slot in Prechtl-Saal, the random pencil selection got the blues, and all Popfest people doing the waltz and wiggle. It is a new perspective, these are stories worth telling and listening to. Vereter & Die Woarmen Semmeln shine a spotlight on what we Viennese often neglect to look at. Pete Prison IV…

Popfest 2026 - Day 1, Spilif at Prechtl-Saal, Karlsplatz Wien

in 2026

Spilif was touching my buried hiphop soul from the good ol' rap days, with beats marching and flows to pay tolls for a track graze. With my hand moving in the grooves played by the band, I pressed mentally play for some hope the tape deck has no end. I was a 4/4 machine - back on the dream that words matter, despite all lines crossing…

Popfest 2026 Day 1, Tamara Flores on Seebühne, Karlsplatz Wien 

in 2026

And that's how it started - Thursday evening on Karlsplatz, Vienna, strolling into @popfestwien. The yellow duck was floating smilingly in the pond, the people gathering to start an auditory journey to whatever styles and places their eardrums enjoy being stimulated by. Beer cans in hand, the night setting in. I began the yearly series with Tamara Flores on stage, and me having a drink and…

The Cosmic Dead

in 2026

Live Drawing at Concert, Crayons and Sweat on A2 Cardboard, Flucc Vienna, 2026 Whenever the Cosmic Dead from Scotland come to town, it liquifies earth like the Ship Which Sails Over Land and Sea and as an Eternal Champion's fever dream. Jumping like humpbacks in their bow, crawling alongside like burying beetles, our molecules are shattered as soon as the wall of sound does its tsunamiesque…

The Dopelord

in 2026

We all shouted willingly our chorus, and Dopelord summoned the legions of hell upon us. Demons, the crawling chaos, visions of lust, the princes of the nine realms riding on their hellish rabbits - all formed in the dense illuminated fog, blasted by an unholy smoke machine into a cellar closer to the heart of the Earth. Behold! Behold! The Dopelord! Escape, Escape! Sweat was our…

Dance Dance Boom Boom

in 2025

Some weekends from last year and this year condensed in one large A2 artwork, the Kramladen Techno crowd does dance dance and the beats go boom boom, and me in the corner scratching the Fridays' souls onto cardboard while spilling beer and shaking along in strobo laser light beams. That's entertainment.See ya there crazy beat lovers!Pencil, crayons, and spilled beer on A2 cardboard, Kramladen Club, Vienna…
