famicases
A game by it's cover is a wonderful event where I got to know a lot of inspiring folks.
This event is about turning fictional game cartridge label art from the my famicase exhibition into real games.the my famicase exhibition is an annual art exhibition in Tokyo for fictional game cartridge labels for the old Nintendo famicom. Of course, it fills my heart to see that they accepted these pieces.

The Library of Daddeln preserves and makes games accessible for generations to come, so we can better reflect upon what makes us human. The LOD is for scholars to do research, for artists and game designers to seek inspiration without any barriers.

HUD Howler's UndergrounD
2018
“The UI Designer will fix it!” that was the sentence she heard the last month of development every day. The game was buggy as hell, not even the 3D Engine really worked. Still the release date was settled. She came, she saw and she threw it all out.
Zines
Zines are self-published mostly small magazines distributed with copy machines. I like the DIN A 4 format and somehow always make a comic out of it
Tarot Starter tutorial / overview- 2023
Tarot can be a an incredible tool for self discovery but the vibes of the books I read often dont check out. There is no young boy who comes to you just because you got a page appeared. This is an 8 fold zine that goes over anything to reclaim tarot from the people who are selling you crap.

bitsy3d.xyz info website
this website collects the information about the bitsy 3D fork (which I did not make). There is a also a tutorial if you want to get started
+ I helped translate the original bitsy by adam to german
Websites - humanities greatest tool
Starting around 2019 my interest in the incredible knowledge machine that the internet is was started. I made a very old blog with blogger about a german strategy game with a friend and especially with twitters demise the open/indie/alternative web is more important than ever.
The internet can be a tool so use it! Here are some websites I build over the years
villa m.k. current links
10.2024 - build with carrd
the club behind a house here in hamburg had more than one current important link and since their current main platform was Instagram they were only allowed one link. As the website is under construction in Squarespace i build something quick and easy.
Comics & Cake
06.2024 - build with carrd
a small gathering of comic / illustration interested FLINTA* folk on sundays where I thought it would be cool to have a website where we could easily have some cool links to other stuff in hamburg
Proudmorning my blog
12.2023 - build with zonelets - html & CSS
I am mostly lurking on the www as I often dont have much to share and kinda dont want to take up space (idk) but thats why I got my own space now with this blog. Also wanted to get to know html and css without all the fancy stuff. Loved it that a lot of people started a blog after cohost demise
Stickerarchiv Hamburg
2023 - build with carrd
I collect(ed) stickers that are just everywhere in hamburg and having a website would help people discover it when they searched with a search engine vs. looking up things on pixelfed which noone knows.
plump.lv
2023 - build with carrd
my partner started a small business with a friend and it always looks 100% more legit when you got a custom domain, a custom e-mail and overall are just well-structured. and you are not dependent from insta or wherever you link to. Its kinda just a linktree but since they are doing personal events selling thats fine.
Bitsy3d.xyz overview
2022 - build with carrd
a website that collects and makes the knowledge about the small bitsy fork bitsy 3D easily available. I hated getting to the great color fork by looking up the fork in github
Werder.fyi
2019 - build with carrd
my own space on the internet with my own domain. First it was werk.casa but since casa is kinda hard to describe in germany I setteld for werder.fyi
making some stickers
the public space is for everyone not only advertising but also for art!So you can go out today and start trying to notice cool sticker design for example at lamp posts or start posting your designs / mine where it's legal.these sticker designs are already in cymk color space so it is ready to print
Hamburgisches Stickerarchive
stickers are like clouds. In a moment they are there and visible, in the next they are gone again. to archive all the cool stickers I see here in hamburg I "founded" the hamburger stickerarchive in the fediverse to collect the work before it vanish. (May contain some german)
How to contact me
Hello you too! so this will not be complicated but its the web in 2024 + the year you are reading this and sadly there are bots that really love sending out crypto or nft or insert here bullshit spam.If I posted something on a site that makes it possible for you to respond do it there. If that site is called instagram it takes around a month for me to open that hellscape again.
please just send me an E-mail
werk@werder. for your information
Anyhow please just send me an E_Mail: at (only the highlighted parts and without any spaces) (its the domain of this website .fyi)
