About Me


Conditions | The ODIUMEDIÆ Manifesto

What am I doing?

I create cover artworks, logos, web graphics, banners, shirt designs and some other web graphics and print media designs.

Why am I doing it?

I do it for the masturbation of self-improvement, for fun and pleasure, as a hobby and to let the artistic spark in me become a blazing flame of experience and productive perfectionism. Consequently, I do it mainly for myself.

With whom do I work?

Solely with people, movements or organisations I admire, consider friends, who inspire me or I personally find sympathetic and worth of wasting my precious time for. I will create artworks for bands, labels and organisations. This means I will work for bands and labels of genres like Death-, Black-, Dark- and Thrash Metal, Grindcore, Hardcore, Punk, Crustcore, Metalcore, Industrial, (Harsh) Noise, Drone, (Dark) Ambient, (Power) Electronics, (Neo) Classical Music and suchlike. But I may also create artworks for bands and labels of other genres, provided that I like what they are doing.

With whom I will not work

Moralizers, racists, Christian or Muslim organisations, most organisations who - for my personal political or philosophical taste - tend to much to the right respectively to left wing, anyone who is under 18 years of age, those who do not completely like my artworks or do not completely agree with my artistic, aesthetical or philosophical ideals, those who try to limit my horizon in any way or simply for people, organisations, bands or labels I detest.

What will I do?

I am an artist and as such I am an individual with a strong urge to create what I like to create. You will not change my style, you will not change my understanding of art. I will work the way I please and no way else. I will only work according to specific orders if I stand behind the idea completely. Ideas and ideals I do not advocate will also not be supported by me. My artworks may contain nudity, violence or other offensive elements and nobody else than me under the sole influence of my free will is ever going to change this.


DISCLAIMER

If you do not like my arts, this is and will remain your problem. If you are offended by it, do not browse my page. There are problems on this pitiful, huge garbage ball we lovingly call mother earth, which are quite more important than pissing into the coffee of people like me who are only following their own paths. If what you see here does not fit your taste, just go away!

My Interests

Art, literature, the vile human psychology, war, death, digitalized misanthropy, visual orgasms... I don't have to say that I am quite a misanthropist. I have more aquintances who think I am their friend than people I really consider friends. If I don't like you, I will make you take notice of this fact.

I'd like to meet:
