Amsterdam airport urinal-art

Took off today on a 2 month trip to Europe. Fast flight to Amsterdam, strong jet stream, lots of turbulence. After cruising all the cheese displays during transit, connecting flight to Stuttgart Germany 2 hours later. See more urinals 

Nicopuncture

In the meantime I went to some acupuncture sessions targeted on quitting smoking.

It helped, it calmed me down and took my cravings. 

Physically I'm okay, mentally it's pretty often cold turkey.

It's a hell of an addiction. My mind still cries for nicotine pretty regularly.

I'm without Nicotine for a week now, my longest period in the past 20 years.

Many times I'm all edgy, nervous, unfocused; every other thought a cigarette. It stucks f..king deep.

Nicoquit

First day without nicotine, after the last attempt, which was about ten years ago.

This time it has to be a serious attempt...otherwise i'll be finally coughing out my lungs.

see u in heaven - in memory of Christoph de Temple

This is for you Christoph. Roof top installation of "see u in heaven"at Bush/Leavenworth in San Francisco. This piece is part of the   NIESATT outdoors project an ephemeral environmental interaction project.

" see u in heaven" (unvollendete Weissausmischung) is a series of 46 drawings in ink on lettersize paper. This series is dedicated to the sudden passing away of an old friend at the age of 46. We were very close in our twenties, went to the Roedel art school together in Mannheim and shared in the late 80's an art studio in Berlin, Germany. We did a lot of crazy stuff together.
