retrospective

___________________________________________________________________________

++++ Sadly but true. My keep-me-alive trip in Australia is over.  12 months on
the road, meeting nice people, visiting awesome places, working on my art and
sleeping in so many wired beds. I have to say cheers to a bunch of  good mates
down under!!! You know who you are!
++++ I’m currently working on a retrospective, which will be a book about the
trip and my art.  Looking for a publisher and editing the final pages!!!  If someone
is interested in publishing it or if someone has some contacts, please send me an
email to mail@s-t-e-p-h.com
Stay in touch with my projects at www.s-t-e-p-h.com

Hibernia-House, Sydney

___________________________________________________________________________
++++ I stayed a few weeks in the Hibernia-House in Sydney. Its one of the oldest
warehosues in central Sydney and a place for artist, musician, local bands & freaks.
The building, rooftop, elevator, artstudios and the confusing stairways are a perfect
streetart gallery. I took plenty of pics in this time, here are a few!!!!
