Have nice weekend & thx for reading!

Hey folks!

I wish everyone a happy new year 2012! The end of the world is near ;)

Well, what is better than starting the new year and Friday the 13th with a brand new surf art freebie? Ok, I’d imagine that there are a lot of things which would be better but for now content yourself with this Surf City wallpaper goodie for your desktop.

Update: I’ve added more details.

Want to buy this as an art print? Just visit my society6 shop:

I am a great fan of Bill Watterson’s Calvin & Hobbes. Jim Frommeyer and Teague Chrystie realized this absolutely awesome video of the famous snowmen torment scenes from the comic books as a tribute to Bill and here is how they made it: a very Calvin & Hobbes Christmas.

I like to wish everyone Happy Holidays, a Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah! Let there be peace, love & happiness for the mankind – at least once in a moment.

Yours,
Alex

Yeah, that’s pretty cool! I’m totally stoked to be featured in the newest edition of the Zeixs Cubes: T-Shirt Design 2. Thanks, dudes!

For further info on the book or in case you want to purchase a copy check out: Zeixs Books .

Recently I’ve finished this illustration for a longboard. The design is inspired by classic Hawaiian postcards & surf kitsch. Click the button down below for a little making-of.

Here’s the recipe for a shortcrust pastry:

• 500 g (1,1 lbs) flour
• 125 g (ca. 4,4 oz.) sugar
• 250 g (ca. ½ lb) butter or margarine
• 1 (ca. 0,3 oz.) package vanilla sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon of lemon zest
• 1-2 dashes of salt
• Plus a little bit of flour to roll out the pastry,
  and sugar, water & citron juice (or any other kind of fruit juice) for the frosting
  and a lot of fun, of course.

And that’s all. Simple, but delicious :) Happy holidays!

Oh, and I just wanted to show you a picture of this cute teenage red fox which is roaming through my garden almost every day:

Sorry for the crappy photo quality.
Have a nice weekend!

Recently I made this t-shirt illustration. Well, I’m waiting for snow and I am really looking forward to shredding some obstacles, shoveling backcountry kickers & enjoying a lot of delicious Germknödel. So, put this t-shirt on and pray for snow.

Let me know If you want to buy a t-shirt. Then I’ll try to find a way to produce a small edition. Maybe I’ll try out something like Zazzle or Spreadshirt.

What do you think?
