// Hippocampus - Until all are free
Josy asked for a human- and animal-rights sleeve. About equality, freedom and showing what's her the most important in life.
I loved to work on the concept, happily she likes it, so we could make a start some days ago. Thanks to the team of Paztattoo wiesbaden for making the connection!

Koepfen Calendar 2015 "as long as you love"
These days its about one year ago, that we decided to support bands in doing artworks or helping them out in releasing their music in different ways. A year full of great moments and thoughts, awesome people doing awesome music and the feeling to do what we love to do.
To say thanks to the bands, all those people buying records, just listening and spreading the word about - to say thanks to all of you - we created the first KOEPFEN calendar including a sampler on tape with songs from the bands we’ve been working with:
12 months – 12 bands – 12 songs – 12 artworks
Printed on A3, the calendar will include 12 artworks, made by the following artists:
André Schauer - Christian Brix - The Great Hunter - Koepfen
The sampler will come on Tape in a silkscreen-printed case and includes 12 songs of the following bands:
Orion And First Day Of Aries – Trachimbrod – Reason To Care –Sandlotkids – Dearest – Unsaid. - Reasonist – barren – Younger Us –Wherebirdsmeettodie – Rivers & Tides – crowns&thieves
The package while come in a 2c-silkscreen-printed cover, that can be used as a Poster.
The whole earnings will be donated to the „Erdlingshof“ (http://www.erdlingshof.de/), which is an organisation, where in the first line maltreated animals get the possibility to live in a crueltyfree environment.
You are able to preorder the calendar in our shop and we are hopefully able to send them out around december 30th, when we got all things together. But after your order you will receive a printable kind of a postcard that is useable as a present for yourself or whoever you want!

//We're always between staying or absconding. To abscond from a place, a person or just a situation. Just to drift like an huge zanonia. Wherever the wind takes you. - To feel at home or calming the waves just takes some time. Constantly, like a pine. Deeply rooted.
Flo and me, both stumbling - thank you!
