Dear friends,
I have some good news for you all today: "GOOD JOB," my new book, is coming out next week in a beautiful, fat publication, available for pre-order now and celebrated with a release party next Thursday (Nov 28, 7 PM) at my publisher’s, GUDBERG NERGER, in Hamburg.
Insane! 500 drawings that I created since 2021—the last one is from this summer. When a body of work of such volume comes in printed form, it is simply overwhelming for me as an artist. But I really cannot tell you more; it is impossible to judge from my point of view, and I have no sales pitch for you except:
This is a beautiful book of the highest quality, both in terms of print and layout. It is limited to 250 copies. It contains my heart and soul and my view of the world; it is sometimes romantic, funny, melancholic, political, harsh, soft-spoken, angry, or noisy. 500 drawings is a lot! The times in which these pages were created are tough. Some of it resonates in these drawings, and some will help you smile again. I would hope I could convince people who have wandered off into the far-right and populist abyss to change their fucked up minds, but I know that this is a task so huge I cannot ask of this book.
I can only recommend getting it online, or even better—come to the launch. We will install a lot of original drawings at the gallery of GUDBERG NERGER. I will, of course, be there to sign it, talk to you about it, and generally have a good time celebrating together. Just click the links here to get all the info:
Pre-order. (Yes I will sign those too if you want me to!)
Book release at GUDBERG NERGER
28th of November, 7–11 PM.
Kisses and hugs go out to Jan Müller-Wiefel at GUDBERG NERGER for a job well done producing it (and patience with me), to Yasha Young and Jonathan LeVine for their forewords in the book, to Geberit for the support, to the printers at AZ Druck, and to Kehrwieder for the beer on tap at the opening. More kisses and hugs will be handed out next Thursday.
