After a lot of rumbling with DHL finally a friendly man from UPS picked up the painting today. Took me some arguments and stuff. It’s quite difficult to get a painting from Hamburg to London. Never thought that. But UPS was able and so the friendly guy took the thing with him. Hope he will be careful with it. They told me that they usually don’t ship unique paintings. But as long as this is not a Picasso or Van Gogh it seems to be okay for them. Goodbye, scare.
And here is what he took with him, again:

Brilliant. I have finished my painting stuff and am happy as happy can be. Nobody can interrupt this feeling of total happiness. Noone except DHL. It’s impossible for them to get a painting of 90 to 70 to 4 cm to fucking London. Hello? Why does fucking DHL own a fleet of trucks, Boeing 747s and probably ships? To carry postcards? Or to just show off? Listen, why it’s possible to get a 120 to 60 to 60 cm box that weights 35 kilogramme to every goddamn place in the world? And why then it’s not possible to get a smaller painting that probably weights 1 kilogramme only because it has 10 cm more on one side (and instead 30 and 50 cm less on the other two sides) to London? Hello? Hello-ho?!
You know, what DHL? I don’t give a fuck about you as much as you don’t give a fuck about me. Because I now will ship with the lovely and helpful people at UPS. It did cost me some hours because they usually serve this stuff only to commercial clients but I managed to solve this problem thanks to Meike’s dad (Thank you very much, Pete). And by the way: they charge 50% less than you would have. Now I just hope that they won’t fuck it up as you did. Thanks for the attention.

Okay. The thing is in it’s box. It’s finished. My fingers are shivering. A bit. It’s not my turn anymore. Just have to finish the website and upload my work to flickr. Hope I’ll manage all that stuff before it arrives.
Scary address, isn’t it?

The paint is dry. And because no agency in the world would buy a painting to do ideas at one of their desks, I added some oldschool stuff like CV and snaps of my work. Just for sure.

Okay everybody. The front of the painting is finished. Now the scare makes sense. Because it’s only what you make of it.

Addicted to running? No, not me. But the new commercial for Nike+ by Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam. A lot of “+” in this sentence, don’t you think? Shortly after Nike handing over their US running account to Crispin, Porter + Bogusky I saw it on television yesterday. My first thought: Woo, what’s that? Brilliant copywriting and great execution. That’s what running is about, isn’t it? And though I really like CP+B for their groundbreaking work I think they’ll have to walk in huge footsteps. Never forget: Dan made you do it.

After another working night I finished my faces. And somehow I am proud. Because I like it. Because until the last brush stroke I was slightly scared of fucking everything up. So now here are my happy smiling scary faces:
