About Me

+++ WWW.DISTURBANITY.COM is an independent illustration/graphic design studio, established in 2003. Disturbanity is Matthias Gephart is Disturbanity. You got it. I started writing in late 1988, and grew up interacting as much with the Punk/HC- and Deathrock music scenes on one hand as on the other hand with my strongly graffiti-affected environment and oldschool Hip Hop attitude. I combined my obsession for urban asthetics, graff, photography, deconstructivist collage, Dada, typography, subversive activity and art plus music and decided not to follow labels but true passion only. Later on, i attended art college for further studies in visual communication and had to find out that, when it came to street cultures and wildstyle, the mass of these teachers were narrow-minded, ignorant and unwilling to learn. Today, running my own business includes all the struggle you face as a solo artist, but there is nothing in life i would prefer to do rather than doing this my way. I do record cover artwork, work for cultural assignments, illustrate magazines and books, design graphics for sports- and clothing companies. I create things i like. Wish me to design for your project? Get in touch, you are welcome. +++

+++ My illustrations have found their way into a range of fine books and magazines on contemporary graphic design, logos and illustration, starting in 2003 with Taschen publishers »Graphic design for the 21st Century«, and »Punk is dead - Punk is everything« of Gingko Press and »Logo Lounge 4 - International Identities by Leading Designers« of Rockport Books being the latest publication featuring my works in 2008. My poster series for the Theatre of Duesseldorf have earned several awards, including Red Dot Design, 100 beste Plakate, Deutscher Designer Club and Art Directors Club.+++

Originally rooted in western Germanys Ruhr area, Bochum, my office is now located in the cultural and artistic melting pot of Friedrichshain, East Berlin. If you like what you see, i recommend you take some more time to dive deep into my portfolio: Go check out WWW.DISTURBANITY.COM +++
