Eure Erben - Eure Fäuste
Another release by Eure Erben for which I did the cover-artwork, photos and the whole layout of the CD.
Celebrate People's History - 8.8.88
Another distribution for Josh MacPhee's poster series, this time I contributed a drawing about the democratic uprising in Burma in August 1988.
The text reads as follows: "8.8.88 - The Democratic Uprising in Burma - On August 8, 1988, hundreds of thousands of workers, students, monks, mothers and children gathered in the streets all across Burma to demand an end to the brutal military dictatorship. As a response the military junta sent troops to quell the urprising and in the following weeks ten thousand people were murdered. Thousands fled to the border into Thailand to gain refuge. Others joined rebel armies and took up arms to protect their people and fight for freedom. 8.8.88 made visible the resistance against the military and has become and enduring symbol of the Burmese struggle for democracy."
You can order the poster directly from Josh: www.justseeds.org/celebrate_peoples_history/02eight.html or in the Art Gallery in my shop.

Eure Erben - logo
After the German trash-metal band Darkness was reunited and renamed, Eure Erben have asked me to do designs for the band and I started with creating their logo.
Celebrate People's History - White Rose
For this nice poster series from Josh MacPhee to keep the world's struggles in public's mind, I contributed this drawing about the White Rose resistance group against Hitler's Nazi-Germany.
The text reads as follows: "The White Rose - After Hitler took power in 1933, several resistance groups fought against the regime. The White Rise was founded in 1942 and based in Munich. Its members were students Hans and Sophie Scholl, Christoph Probst, Willi Graf, Alexander Schmorell, and professor Kurt Huber. Against great odds and heavy repression, they printed six different leaflets against the Nazis, and at one point they painted slogans like 'Down with Hitler' and 'Freedom' in the streets.
While distributing leaflets in 1943 they were caught and later executed. Their resistance made them legendary and gave great courage to all who opposed the Nazis.
'Support the Resistance Movement - Spread Leaflets!' - The White Rose."
