Some key facts about myself
First of all the most important thing about myself is: I'm an art-lover through and through. I love art eversince and a life without art is unimaginable for me. When I was about 16 years old I had the opportunity to get a deeper insight into the life and the work of a famous german artist. Sometimes he read excerpts of his diarys to us and I was fascinated how intensely he perceived his surrounding... nature, creatures, coulours and even the "ugly" and "disgusting" things arround us. One day he gave me an etching of a "Don Quijote"-scene as a gift and this was at least the first serious piece of art I could call my own.
This was my first piece of art and it founded my collection, which is continously growing larger and larger since this moment. Over the years I also discovered the art which is all around us in the cities: Street Art. I was never a great fan of tags or bombings, but I always loved graffiti with artistic aspiration and with strong messages.
Today I'm a lover and collector of many talented street artists, such as Vhils, Pichiavo, Fake, Jef Aerosol, Ernest Zacharevic and many, many more. And of course I'm a great fan of Banksy's art, as he is in my opinion "the leader" of this artistic movement insofar as he put it into the focus of our today's art world. The circumstances why I snatched my first piece of my Banksy-collection was based on another passion I'm into since I was a kid, my passion for music. The most satisfying way of listening music for me was always to put a record with a beloved piece of music on the platter and just "dive" into it. That's why I always tried to get a copy of the vinyl with the music I loved and this hasn't changed until today either. Maybe seven or eight years ago I noticed, that there are several records with Banksy artworks on the cover around and I thought this might be a good opportunity to own a real piece of Banksy, as it was impossible for me to pay the amount for an original Banksy print or canvas at this time.... and still.
My Banksy Art Cover Collection started with the Peanut Butter Wolf - Badmeaningood Vol. 3, which I snatched for less than 20 Euro on Discogs. Today I count 99 different records and 123 CDs with Banksy artwork either on the cover, on the label or on the CD and a whole bunch of DVDs, books, magazines and other collectibles related to the elusive artist known as Banksy.
But at least just to collect the things which are already arround and well known in the collector's community was not enough for me. Especially concerning records I started the hunt for covers with Banksy artworks which were not yet noticed by the Banksy Cover Art collector's community. In some times this hunt even actually faded into an obsession and it cost me innumerable hours, days and weeks of lifetime. But the result was, that I can claim the finding of several Banksy art cover records for me, such as the "Warrior Soul - Destroy The War Machine", "Hoxton Whores - I'm not your friend", "STREETART001 by Henchman & Majistrate" and many more, which are now inherent part of some of the most important Banksy artwork cover collections in the world. Some records I physically held in my hands are now travelling around the world from one exhibition to another and getting noticed and admired by thousands of people. A strong evidence for me that this was pretty much worth the effort.
