Hirnschieber

A guy in his mid-30ies, former snowboard professional. In all the subcultures that he's involved with, age is not the important thing anymore, and the group of people he skates with, snowboards with, or works on art projects are anything from 10 to 70. It’s like-minded people, and probably has to do with the common goal of having fun. The everyday passion is still there: he broke his hand last summer for the first time in 25years of skateboarding , still had to paint a 22ft tall character sculpture 3 days later for the opening of the self-built concrete skatebowl! ;) Giclée (pronounced "zhee-clay") is a neologism for the process of making fine art prints from a digital source using ink-jet printing. The word "giclée" is derived from the French language word "le gicleur" meaning "nozzle", or more specifically "gicler" meaning "to squirt, spurt, or spray". It was coined in 1991 by Jack Duganne, a printmaker working in the field, to represent any inkjet-based digital print used as fine art. The intent of that name was to distinguish commonly known industrial "Iris proofs" from the type of fine art prints artists were producing on those same types of printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on Iris printers in a process invented in the early 1990s but has since come to mean any high quality ink-jet print and is often used in galleries and print shops to denote such prints. A surly group of of typographers, designers and illustrators were given a simple instruction; celebrate their favorite cuss word, dirty phrase, or filthy mantra through art and type.
