ASIT 9 Fabric Production (2023/2024)
→ asit.com
Designing a unique fabric pattern has always been my dream. I have always had a fascination for silk, and I am super proud to now have a matching set of shirt, shorts, and scarf with my artwork on them. These pieces are perfect for hot days at the beach or a night out.
Since early 2023, the entire team and I have been dedicated to bringing this vision to life. The brilliant fashion design comes courtesy of my dear friend and fashion designer, Martina Öttl. Together, we have poured our time, love, and creativity into shaping the final designs. It tells a personal story about my life, reflecting cherished moments and symbols that have made my life what it is.
Above all, this project is about celebrating the joys of life. I have developed three distinct colorways, and the fantastic team of schnittBOGEN Vienna will meticulously handcraft nine pieces of each. Our production is order-based, ensuring sustainability and exclusivity.
We are incredibly proud and hope you will love and appreciate this project as much as we do.

TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR (2023)
for LITFASS GOES URBAN (Berlin)
The Urban Project LITFASS GOES URBAN advocates for the freedom of the 24 listed Litfaß columns in Berlin, which should no longer be leased for commercial advertising. They represent not only a piece of historical heritage, which alone should be reason enough to protect them from advertising use, but also a unique and significant part of the public visual space, deserving democratic and artistic utilization.
The inspiring art installation TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR, inspired by Peter Fox’s (himself a true Berliner) iconic track, delves into the hidden monsters within us all.
TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR urges us to confront our own inner depths instead of constantly scrutinizing others. The message is clear: It’s time to clean up our own backyard.
… es steckt mit dir unter einer Haut
Und du weißt es will raus ans Licht
Die Käfigtür geht langsam auf und da zeigt es sich
Das zweite Gesicht …
– Peter Fox
HANSI, SISSI, FRANZ & MIZZI
Murals and digital Versions for some cool Merch.
A little background: Vienna’s nightlife is a mosaic of diverse societal spheres merging as one. Hansi, Sissi, Franz and Mizzi represent this fusion. Stranger by day, they intertwine into a colorful kaleidoscope of experiences at night. Their quirkiniess is nothing short of a Viennese cultural gem.
A STORY ABOUT GIANTS AND LED LIGHTS (2023)
… is my latest project resulting out of my recent trip to Japan. Home to Pikachu and Godzilla, it was a place destined to challenge and inspire a Western mind like mine right from the beginning. It brings together my photography and illustration work yet again and amalgamates reality with imagination. For me there seemed to be no boundaries between the two in Japan.
Available at Walter-König-MQ (Vienna), Supalife-Kiosk (Berlin), Leporello Books (Roma).

TOP OF THE POPS
TOP OF THE POPS presents my latest illustration work inspired by and following my previous project FRATZEN (German for grimace). This time I’m focussing on actual entities of pop culture: think Homer Simpson, Marilyn Monroe or The Terminator. It’s meant to be an hommage to the grandeur of such everlasting icons while at the same time enabling a more fun and satirical approach to commercialism.
I’ve selected a small number out of 90 motives to be screen-printed. 60 x 50 cm. On Munken rough 300 paper.
Starting with Homer.

MONTHS 2
In a world where monocular giants like to enjoy a well-deserved break in a rooftop swimming pool in Barcelona, a pink dinosaur spends entire afternoons gambling at an arcade in Budapest and gangs of pigeons vie for their spot in a fully furnished living room on the streets of Vienna, there’s really no need to deal with the incomprehensibility of life. Everything is just a fog of confusion and maybe that’s really not as bad as it sounds.
MONTHS 2 adds to the first edition, which was published in 2022. This time it features photography, illustration and — as a new element — collages.
Available at Walter-König-MQ (Vienna), Supalife-Kiosk (Berlin), BTWNLNS (Sydney).

DARE TO BE COLOURFUL
A chaotic tribute to the literal and metaphorical colourfulness of some of my idols, who were/are never afraid to show their true colours: Elvis Presley, Falco, David Bowie, and Tyler, The Creator

ASIT WARS → PRESS PLAY
When people think of Pac-Man, most remember an 80’s arcade game, but to me it is one big shimmery cloud of nostalgia. A grey bunch of memories rotating around hours after hours in front of pixelated screens in smoke-drenched pubs with my dad that would be rewarded with screeching-red eyes and an irretrieveable feeling of happiness.
A special collector’s-card version of Choker in Japanese pays tribute to the roots of the original game and emphasises my sweet spot for Japanese culture.
Original [ASIT-WARS-COLLECTORS-CARD-DECK]: oil crayon on cartridge paper, 321 x 455 mm.
