wellosophy_philosophy of Bomber™

PEACE. Yo, what a schnitzel. Welcome to my website and my funky business at www.bomber.de. Its buildt up like a wiki, means the structure of this site is more like a net than hierarchic. My name is Helge Steinmann (my history - click to get the story) and I am a wellknown professional style definiting Graffiti writing Aerosol- and Street-artist and designer at Hofheim am Taunus, between Frankfurt am Main and Wiesbaden, Germany in Europe, since 1988. My tag and artist name (tag-signature) is "BOMBER™" and I am representing the art crews FBI™ · GBF™ · TRD · SUK™ · SAA · DBL™ and YCP™. I am also member of the boards AGD – Alliance of German Designers, the BDG – Bund Deutscher Grafikdesigner, the IO – Illustrator Organisation e.V. and since 1990 one of the CEOs of the EGU-European Graffiti Union-founded by Prof. Peter Kreutzer (Munich). I've worked for different companies which are specialised in advertising and designing as an artist, as well as, a creative director. My aim is to bring advertising, design and art together.I 'd like the people to recognise, that art, design and advertising are three different words for one thing: That means, to use design as a solution for a problem.

My personal Skills are: B2C, B2B, brand names, corporate identity, art direction, package design, event planning, customizing products as a event- or incentivepart and also guerilla campaigns. Also with the main competence in: GRAFFITI ART-STYLEWRITING (as an event/incentive), DESIGN and ILLUSTRATION (as an executive and/or support as freelance), customer relationships, project coordination, conceptioning and curation of exhibitions at the Graffitiwriting sector.

Why did I choose the name "Bomber™"? When I started my authentic career in Aerosol art / Graffitiwriting in 1988, I was in Paris, France, and I saw a lot of tags everywhere made by a Graffiti artist / writer called "Boxer". I was looking for a name which sounded similar and I found "Bomber™". Later, somebody told me that the meaning of the word bomber means to paint a lot of graffiti: the name was programmatic. There is no political or sociological sense in that meaning.

My philosophy is short and simple (good ideas follow mostly that way): I am real in all what I am doing. Or call it: my mojo let me do it. So, you´ll see , if you check out my last works that marketing and advertsing can be a form of art. Call it as you like it: These are only words for almost the same meaning: an abstract (creative) process to find solutions and new ideas. Ideas, which are the beginning of everything, used as a tool to give people new impressions and new directions to consume products. Infact, I can confirm, like people know me, that people work better if they are working in their own special way and facilities. That means: If you do it with love, you´ll do it better.
