The Twins Always get nervous crossing Checkpoint Charlie.

This reminds me of Berlin, which reminded me that its going on almost ten years since I lived there. Time flies no matter what. For at least five years after, I had intense dreams of being lost, even in my old neighborhood of Kreuzberg. I knew the streets like the proverbial back of my hand but they were always changing in the dream. Intense anxiety trying to get home or get to the airport.
I still have the same dream every once in a while.

DESIGN MAFIA


Recently I ended up on some list that was asking for submissions for a design motif/poster for Create Berlin. Which, I guess is some kind of agency promoting different cities as design capitals or something.  I was intrigued because I spent a semester in Berlin in college. 
I remember seeing a lot of amazing graffiti and street art, and that inspired this drawing.
Bears are the official symbol of  Berlin, taken from their coat of arms, and he's dressed in Polizei riot gear. Keeping bad design at bay, he's probably a pretty good hugger too.
