Painting our new mural artwork: California Jacket. Which is an Homage to the Rocker and Biker jackets of the American West Coast and the Hip Hop Back Pieces of New York at the American East Coast. We did this concept in February of 2011. Now after several other projects we are back on the wall to realize this oversized painting.

To support the people of Japan, 3Steps, with the assistance of druckkollektiv.de from Giessen, sells a total of 100 art-prints of their large-scale mural-art "Fukushima 50". The limited print in 15" by 24" format is printed on high quality and environment-friendly paper and numbered and signed by the three artists. The sale will begin shortly on the website shop.3Steps.de for the price of 30 €. 3Steps donates the entire profit from the sale of the 100 prints to the German Red Cross to help Japan.
The Fukushima 50 Wall
In the beginning of April the artists collective 3Steps from Giessen painted a large-scale mural in memory of the victims of the natural disaster and in honor of the supporters in Japan. The title of the work of 3Steps "Fukushima 50" is a synonym for all the helpers who exposed themselves to nuclear radiation and still do to preserve their fellow men and nature from further damage. In mid-March the Fukushima 50 were the last remaining first technicians at the nuclear power plant Fukushima I. The workers sacrificed their health to prevent the nuclear meltdown by all means under extreme conditions. The picture thematizes the disaster in Japan in five stages and warns of the far-reaching dangers that may arise out of the disaster in the final stage. "Japan's sun is fading, but it still should encourage the people to work together for a new and stable future over all processes."
