In 2008 I moved my life to Switzerland and now live with my wife and Egon – our French bulldog – between Basel and Zurich as a self-employed graffiti artist and full-blooded hustler.

The head chef Heiko Nieder himself (awarded 2 Michelin stars and 19 Gault Millau points) came up with the idea of combining his culinary skills with those of the street in the pop-up restaurant The Lobster Club. There was more about that

BASEL WE LOVE YOU
In April the time had finally come and I found a new, reliable partner in ABT Automobile - the largest BMW dealership in northwestern Switzerland. For the time being, we have agreed on a two-year partnership in which I can act as the company's brand ambassador. Our first joint project was not long in coming either, because I had the honor of designing a complete side surface of the venerable Basel tram. Topic: BASEL -

The Lobster Club
When I received the message if I would be willing to create something for The Dolder Grand in Zürich I was quite impressed to be honest. The Dolder with its unbelievable gastronomy and that huge art collection is considered one of the best hotels in Europe. HEIKO NIEDER - Chef Fine Dining (2 Stars at Guide Michelin) and since 14 years at the Dolder - always surprises with new ideas and concepts. This time: A Pop
