In my last barcelona summer 2008 many stories happend, changes came, decisions fell and rised till i left the place i called home for 2 1/2 years in january 2009. what is left behind is this fanzine i made just before my departure...have a look and read here...
I
get home from work, sit on my balcony and listen to this creepy
80‘s-song "i work hard for my money...i work hard for my
money...lala...". The builder two floors down is singing some cuban
verse in tune with the radio while the thumping noise of a sledgehammer
drowns out the weird assortment of sounds. Yes, i also work hard for my money and feel envious of the person downstairs who just has to bring walls down and not have to worry about a
short cash-up from the till, like i do. FUCKMONEY "lalala... i work
hard for my money..." With a bad feeling in my stomach and offensive
80‘s sounds in my ear, i leave my flat because i don‘t want to be there
but neither am i sure where else to go. In this situation i always
escape to macba, where all the lost people of barcelona flee to. I´m
arriving here amongst good company and even though i have bought 2 beers
on the way to share with someone, i dont have the balls to ask if he
wants to help me drink it. I start alone, finishing the first beer
before opening the second with a group of punks on my left side and
something to smoke between my fingers... I end up in deep conversation
with one of them about the FUCKMONEY and how nice it would be without
it...The punks parting words to me before i begin my familiar path home
are: "We all have to love each other more. This world could be so
beautiful... and that my dear is coming from a 45 year old punk!" I am
not able to reply anymore, nor say anything against this, so i stumble
home.
That happens when you studied something you dont want to
be. Some get lost and i start a silkscreen- course instead of flash,
draw more than i sleep and copie it 50 times...My first page in fanzine
made for you and no one in special. First page makes first silk screen
on your t-shirt or the one of your neighbour who likes it or not. Tell
my stories and also yours, draw it anytime, anywhere...in here and on
your chest, leg or back.
I know you think i dont have good manners when i ask for a favour, but sometimes i can be soooooooooo courteous, dont you agree?

I. Once there was a hairyball and after a painfull night he gave birth to his pale friends...
II. But his pale unloyal friends soon got bored and took off to find a fancy head somewhere else.
III. But just as they started to feel comfortable, a giant stork came and dragged them away.
IV. And as they were left alone they started to cry a tearball, hoping he would find their hairy ball to tell him their sad story...
V. After the hairy ball heard the great wailing of his little unloyal friends, he came by and stopped their suffering by eating them entirely...
