Meet Andy K in Dresden

Last week I left Aarhus for a workshop in Dresden powered by Brücke Most Stiftung. The coolest thing was to meet two german urban artists - Andy K and WAK - who helped us with our work. Andy K (46) does street art long before the Iron Curtain Fall and has some wild stories about being an urban artist in the communist Eastern Germany. He was also breakdancing in '83, was part of a rap crew and he's currently also a DJ. He is a freelancing artist in airbrush-design, grafix, graffiti and member of the Bandits Dresden graffiti crew since 2002.

Anyways, I was so fascinated by his work and characters.

 He used a lot of mixed techniques - paint, paste-ups, spray, newspaper collage etc.

 

He did this piece during the workshop reusing a huge canvas (unfortunately I only have this small picture:), called 'Thoughts are free'. Here's a small demonstration on how to use the paste-up:

You can find Andy's great stuff on the city walls. The style is very unique, so you can't miss him:)

I 'stole' a small image of a personnage from the sketchbook he used at the workshop. Nice one, huh?

More collage & paste-up during the final day of drawing @Blue Fabrik:
