to the readers and viewers of my website I wish the very best for the coming New Year and that you will stay in good health.
I am currently staying in Nepal for the research of my new book and I will have the chance to celebrate two New Years - the Christian today and the Tibetan Lhosar later at the 22. February. May this coming year bring you success and prosperous life.
Best wishes,
Nicholas

I have uploaded some new photos from this year 2011. I have not been working much with my camera, because my work has a different approach this time. As usual you can find some new images in the Photography gallery, that include some shots of a concert by the the great Japanese band Mono, as well as some images from my travels to the exiled Tibetan communities in Nepal. Maybe a few more photos from Nepal will folllow later.
Take care,
Nicholas

Finally I have uploaded all galleries and also the different shops are now complete. There are a couple more images than on my old website and two galleries from this year will be online during the next days. Instead, some photos from 2010 are online already.
Some little details need to be adjusted with this website, but so far I may call it complete. More news will come soon and if you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
With best wishes,

After a long silence with no news or regular updates, the on-going technical problems have been solved finally and www.keinom.com is re-re-launched again. This time with a complete new design.
Most images have already been published on my old website, but there will come some new photos from last and this year soon and I have written a few more articles. I am still not finished to upload all contents and the new works, so come back soon for new images, texts, information and news.
The book Celebrate People’s History by Josh MacPhee was released in 2010. which included three of my designs for his nice poster-series about the democratic 8888 uprising in Burma at the 8.8.1988; the Nobel Peace Price laureate Aung San Suu Kyi and the White Rose resistance group from Germany, that was active against the Nazi regime.
2011 has already seen the Brasilian translation of the new edition of Graffiti World - O mundo do grafite - Nova edicao revista e ampliada.
Currently my latest book Die Menschen des Himmels - eine Reise zu dem Volk der Shan in Burma / Myanmar (engl.: The heavenly people - a journey to the Shan people in Burma / Myanmar) is going to be published approx. in the beginning of 2012. It is my first text-only work and I will post some news about it here soon. First to be released in German only.
At the moment I am working on another book project, which is leading into a more artistic direction. More news to be posted later, when time is right for it.
Please take a look at the FOUNDATION, where I have posted an urgent call to sponsor the education of two Tibetan refugee-children.
Thanks a lot for your attention and hope to see you soon.
All my best wishes to you,
take care

The new edition of Graffiti World will be released in Spain this coming February. The title is Graffiti - Nueva Edicion and has a photograph on the cover, which I took in Valencia. Very nice!
Two of my articles will be published in the February edition of the German punk/hardcore/rock'n'roll OX fanzine. Both written in German, but it contains an article about the nice anarcho-punx Rai Ko Ris from Kathmandu, Nepal.
The other article is about metal and punk music in Burma and titled Underground music in Burma's dictatorship. It can be found in the new RockHard fanzine.
I also added a few new CDs in the music-shop and there is also a graffiti book about Dortmund available in the special-offers box.
Take care

Since November a couple of New Year festivities already took place and today the turn of the Christian year is coming too.
On 17. November 2009 there had already taken place the Shan New Year in Burma, in November the Nepali New Year; during January there will be the New Year festivals of the Lahu and Akha people in Burma too and they will be followed by the Tibetan Lhosar on 14. February, as well as the Chinese New Year and in April there still needs to come the Burmese and Thai Water Festival to welcome their coming year.
So, there is a lot to celebrate according to our different calendars.
I wish all readers of my website the best luck and good health for your own personal New Year, whenever it will take place. Thanks a lot for all your support and encounters with you!
Happy New Year!
Take care
