From the first "Rasselbande" print design the gang now turned older and mature (aka Dad-life-boring...). So this is the next (but not the last) chapter of FÖRTRESS' graffiti life history and a hommage to tfe that changes while it moves forward unstoppable. So again the design features some vintage oldschool spraycans enjoying their days.
Print details:
- "Rasselbande III" by FLYING FÖRTRESS
- size: 70x50cm
- high pigmented giclée print
- signed and numbered by the artist
- embossed FÖRTRESS logo
- year: 2023
- edition of 50
- without frame / shipped rolled
Price: 120€
plus additional shipping

https://affenfaustgalerie.de/en/shop/item/flying-foertress-rasselbande-lll/
There is also a special deal on the "Rasselbande I & III" set:
https://affenfaustgalerie.de/en/shop/item/flying-foertress-rasselbande-set/
"Rasselbande I-III" is currently on display at AFFENFAUST GALERIE for the group show "Mistaken Identities". FLYING FÖRTRESS also painted the "Rasselbande III" as a big wall mura inside the gallery.

"R.E.S.S. Set Decks" / Skateboard Art
"Finally (like really finally!) i was able to finish this art piece this year!
I started way back in 2003 to sew those helmets made of felt fabric for a set of 4x skateboards. But i never finished it back then. So the helmets ended up in a box in my basement. So in 2021 i was invited by ROLLING VINYL to contribute askateboard art piece and i decided to gat my hands back on this set. It took me literally another 12 month to have it ready then.... what a fight!!
So here we go: it's up on the RV webshop:

First Ever! Thank You!
A big thank-you to the Anonymous who picked up my "First Förtress Sticker" NFT over on Opensea.io
In a way this is like a "late refund" for my very first investment to get stickers done to hit the streets in 2001. It was a bit more hustle to get some offset stickers back in those days...
Literally i had to start collecting a bunch of designs from artist friends to set up a whole sticker-paper-panel to drop the price on the single sticker designs.
And i still running this sticker game 20 years later.
But not alone...
I just started to move to this new space.
#NFT #meta #space
https://opensea.io/TeddyTroops
NFT...?
Why?
Förty, why?
Whenever i do new things there are these voices...
"Why you're spraying these Teddy Troops flops now instead of classic Graffiti letters with arrows and bubble-background, Förty? you used to do sick styles and so cool monster characters!"...
"Because i love this new space, i am multi-discipline and i want to move... move new directions. move forward."
I also remember those voices saying a bit later:
"Why you're doing stickers/posters now, Förty? you used to do cool flops!"...
"Because i love this new space, i am multi-discipline and i want to move... move new directions. move forward."
And the same voices later on my first steps into the vinyl-/designer-toy space:
"Why you're doing these vinyl toys now, Förty? you used to do cool stickers!"...
"Because i love this new space, i am multi-discipline and i want to move... move new directions. move forward."
And now like another déjà vu over again:
"Why you're doing NFTs now, Förty? you used to do cool vinyl-toys!"...
"Because i love this new space, i am multi-discipline and i want to move... move new directions. move forward."
So... did i listen? ;-)
Did i keep standing still?
Did i move?
...
Thank you all for the strong support over the last 2(!) decades!
I will keep moving forward. I am promising this to those voices!
Feel free to keep following me on my travels and journeys.
This new space will be new fun together!*
And btw: it's not like "a totally new" space. Almost all of my work is created digitally and this is the tool & space where my things "come to life"!
Follow up to see the NFT Teddy Troops start marching soon in Q1-2022!
Everything will happen in the Cardano blockchain space and this is the HQ:
(*sooner or later i will drop some more words & thoughts here about the NFT and meta space... why it is a "move to it" space. benefits for me as an artist... and for you as a fan/supporter/collector. one important thing right now to say is that it's time to give up some bad old habits - like to create so much (digital) work for free - only to help building up Marc's Butterberg empire.. it's time to take back your own profitability and bring it to a decentralize space... and! there will be new vinyls, stickers & flops in 2022, too! promised!)

"Train Model Trooper - The Big AKN"
Also i finished this canvas i started in 2016-or-so for my ongoing artwork series "Train Model Trooper". This "The Big AKN" is one of the 3x bigger artworks i did (beside the "Colibri" and "Istanbul"). These "AKN" train models were running on a private line in Hamburg/DE and got sold to a scrap yard place. It was a fun action night to paint them at an un-usual stop-over place at the habour, on their way to the graveyard. We gave them some colorful "last funeral cortege". As these cars were "just trashers", this Trooper on canvas got the "rusty industrial marker" outlines.

"Rusty Saigon Trooper" / Custom Colab
Here we have some brandnew photos of the "just landed" customized "classic 10-incher" Teddy Trooper.
It's an "update" colaboration of FLYING FÖRTRESS and LYRIC_ONE.
Originally the "SAIGON SQUAD" was made in 2006 by FLYING FÖRTRESS (one of his rare handpainted original customized Teddy Troops figures!) for a group show of custom TTs.
But then he got lost.... missing in action.
And returned damaged and wounded a couple of years later...
So last year FÖRTRESS joined forces with LYRIC_ONE to update the Trooper by turning all these bruises-by-accident into some rusty-weathered-look-in-purpose. So here we have the new but old-looking "RUSTY SAIGON SQUAD" Trooper...
Back from the fields!
Big Thank-You! to LYRIC_ONE to "proper messed him up"!

"FDC Feldpost & FDC Luftpost" / print set by FLYING FÖRTRESS

Deutsche Post/German Post (a thing from "stamp collecting").

orange - grey - silver - blue / ...and has 1x original stamp on each letter.
The "FDC Feldpost Green" has a totally all-new green print colorway and is printed on FDCs with 2x or more original stamps on each letter.

R2D2 Troopers for charity
This little robot with a rose (and heart).
While the first "Star Wars - Jawas" related series of hand-drawinn Troopers was purely for my "personal consumption" (buying "LEGO Star Wars" for the kids&me to kill some time during lockdown
no.2)...
...this first series of 10x "R2D2 Troopers" will raise money for charity!
All profit made goes to "Förderverein Winternotprogramm für Obdachlose" (shelter & warm food for Hamburg's homeless people during this freezy winter times).
So 100% of the brutto coins made with sales of these little robots will be donated!
VAT & PAYPAL-fee from all sales is on me — i will take that to make it a round sum! I will provide donation-receipt later then on my social media channel (see Instagram).
Thank you to help helping!
Bleep bleep!
UPDATE:
i just send the collected donation straight to the charitable society!
This is the first set of 10x drawings (plus 2x additional A.P.s extra / they have a few "weird extra ink" on it... test run... see photos). I made it a total series of 22 (... R2D2... you get
it!). Not sure if i have the nerves & time to draw the missing 12x pieces... let's see. So you better grab it now to make sure you own it and you helped me to help! :-)

CLUTTER Magazine's Hall Of Fame / Designer Toy Award 2019
We made it!
We made it to the "Hall Of Fame"!
Thank you CLUTTER MAGAZINE for the "Designer Toy Award 2019"!
I love the "award"-figure design by Pete Fowler.
Indeed Fowler's and Jarvis' toys made me get into collecting vinyls years ago (and later designing vinyl figures myself).
And so does my little girl and so the award already made it her personal property in her room... :-)
Each one teach one...
