leider wurde diese skizze so nicht vom kunden freigegeben. es sollte ein riesiges poster werden, das in viele einzelne postkarten mit neujahrsgrüßen zerschnitten und versandt wird. schade :-(

aber wusstest du, dass der papst nicht nichts ist? es ist so, dass der raum und die zeit gegenstände sind. und der papst ist der einzige nichts-von-beidem-negativraum.
stell dir wasser vor. und dann tust du ein umgedrehtes glas rein.
und das wasser sind wir und die zeit. und wir und die zeit und der gesamte raum können nicht in das glas. und das glas ist die papst-kleidung. und die oberflächenspannung ist ja keine grenze im sinne einer grenze sonder mehr eine art fell ohne haare. und der papst selber ist luft. und wenn der papst aus dem universum rausgeht, dann ist das wie wenn das glas aus dem wasser gezogen wird. dann macht es plöpp. und alles ist eines. so geschehen 1673, 1873, 1874 und 1990.

und lars sagt:

so ein quatsch. du brauchst urlaub.

die theorie ist ganz gut, aber wieso bitte der papst? glaub mir, die wirst keinen protestanten neben mir finden der den papst so sehr liebt wie ich.

man man man, seitdem ich nicht mehr rauche bin ich nur noch krank. hab mich schon wieder erkältet.
ist das (und die alkoholallergie) der dank für meine quälerei? ich weiß es nicht – hund – sag es mir.

so, ich leg mich jetzt aufs sofa und leide.

nachtrag: lars raucht wieder.

der herr im wolf-im-schafspelzkostüm schüttelte der schildkröte innig die pfote. natürlich war es keine echte schildkröte, sondern ein fuchs ohne pelz mit schusssicherer weste. sie hatten eben ein großes abkommen über lieferungen von bumerangen aus nachwachsenden rohstoffen beschlossen. so wurde nicht nur klimaschädliche unsichtbare und unspürbare gase vermieden, auch niemals abbrechender nachschub an bumerangen war gesichert.
doch gerade als sich die beiden verabschieden wollten, explodierten mehrere sprengsätze und das licht ging aus.
ameisen, tausende von ameisen, groß wie mäuse und ausgestattet mit einem fell und hamsterschwänzchen kamen von überall her und sprangen auf die bumerangmenschen. zuerst fraßen sie die augen und die vertragspapiere. anschließend bissen sie sich durch den jeweils linken knöchel und kotzten blut vor lachen, weil sich die beiden opfer nur noch im kreis drehen konnten. das war doch keine flucht!
die hamster verrichteten den rest ihres abscheulichen werkes, und alles war gut. gut für den plantagenbewoner des bumerangmaterials; ein wahlhai ohne zähne aber mit kauplatten und anstelle der walaugen mit insekten-augen ohne augenlieder. die flossen waren kleine tentakeln und seine haut war bedeckt mit etwas, das aussah wie getrocknete erbsen. er hatte das gehirn eines großgrundbesitzers aber die seele eines kiffenden hausbesetzers.

meine mama hat immer gesagt, storyboards sind wie eine schachtel voller pralinen: dir wird schnell übel, aber gelegentlich schmeckt es ganz gut. und viele müssen neu gemacht werden und wenn du fertig bist, sehen es nur zwei drei leute und dann landen sie in einer dunklen schublade.

(ich werde übrigens ab jetzt auf deutsch schreiben, weil ich ständig von deutschen mails auf englisch bekomme und mein englisch gesprochen besser als geschrieben ist. danke.)

above new illustrations for juso-hochschulgruppen. done with basics09.
the flyer on top turned out great. the cover-illustration (their logo) is part of the other two illustrations on the inside of the flyer.

2010-12-01T07:19:00.000-08:00

i will just copy the text from alex gellner´s website. he can write like a tintenfischgodess and asked me to do about 90% of the backgrounds for the video posted above.

"SDP‘s first new video is out. Featured rapper Sido is said to be an aspiring hiphop artist from the Merkwürdische Viertel (Berlin, Germany). The music scene right now is contemplating if the alignment with SDP superband could mean a carreer breakthrough for Sido, the self proclaimed Superintelligent Drogenopfa. Some frames I dig:

I am very happy with how the video turned out. As always, it is very funny, very low budget, with many inside jokes and puns and whistles. SDP fans love looking for little side jokes and SDP-trivia . I love to place them in the video and read in the comments when a fan finds another one. I enjoy working on a project were you can put almost anything in and be pretty sure that the band likes it. Because they are stupid I think.

I had help with the animation by Christian Retzlaff, HFF-animation-alumnus and animator for real film like the Illusionist. He animated mainly the dance scenes and wondered how he got suckered into such a low profile undertaking. Steven Bagatzky painted the first screen. He as well is an outstanding illustrator and sadly was too busy to help more at the time. Roland Brückner drew all the other backgrounds. Roland is such a good artist. He is a famous street artist and Mumpelmoster-creator but most importantly, he totally is lacking the artiste’s ego, which makes it easy for me to impose my will and exploit the poor fella. Niklas Kröger helped out with the compositing. He is the drummer of a very trendy and up-and-coming Band which more than qualifies him for this job. Also, he is very good on the eyes. Everybody said, or thought at least, that it was a pleasure to work under such an accomplished yet humble director such as myself.

The video was finished mid-july but had to wait for its release since the band was crafting the new album with quality standards made of iron made of pain and awesome. “Kontrastprogramm” (release date 10.12.2010) is going to be an instant classic. I am really hyped about this!

The single comes out next week 03.12.2010.

...and finally, i managed to squeeze in some drawings for the recordsheet-blog.

in case you didnt know: the easyest way to get a real brueckner-drawing, is to link this blog somewhere in the internet and let me know it. i will then sit down and draw on a green sheet and send it to you via mail.

you can, other than that, also buy or rent (!) original canvas-paintings. just ask me, what i have in stock...

until then: let it rain!

2010-02-09T00:56:00.001-08:00

juhuu! i finally got the video to the hans unstern concert where i did live-visuals. non-digital-live-visuals!
here is how it worked: i had a table in the back of the concerthall and the band was playing on a stage with a huge cinema-like screen between band and audience. my drawing was liverecorded and beamed on the screen. so when the band had the stage-lights on, the audience could see them but if it was dark, my drawings would be on the screen and the band unseeable. here is a quick sketch for better understanding (i forgot to draw the audience... i was by far not the only person there :-) )

i had gigantic fun (although i was a little sick that night...) and i got my first real applause when hans said "...and on the drawing-pens: roland bruuuuuueckner!"

i hope to do live-visuals soon again.

here is the video where you can see what the camera recorded:

when sometimes my fingers taste like metal it feels like the taste crawls over my face to touch the spot, where my hair beginns. i hate metaltaste on my hands and i wash them all the time. ALL the time.
